Liam Neeson jokes that his favourite part of making The Naked Gun was filming 'sex scenes' with co-star Pamela Anderson
Fans have not been quite sure of the status of the co-stars' relationship after he said he 'loved' her earlier this year - ahead of the new film being released on August 1.
And now Liam has joked about their intimate scenes as The Sun reports the pair were given an intimacy co-ordinator on set.
The star explained: 'I'd never had one before. But she was in the background. There was no kind of, 'OK! Excuse me!'.
Pamela portrays a nightclub singer, who comes to Police Squad for help following the murder of her brother, in Akiva Schaffer's slapstick comedy continuation.
Pamela added that the intimacy co-ordinator knew when to walk away and joked that she stormed off, with Liam claiming she threw her hands up in the air and said, 'I can't take this! This is too hot for me. I'm going for coffee'.
Last week Pamela set the record straight on romance rumours between the pair as the Baywatch queen posed for Entertainment Weekly for their digital cover.
And unfortunately there is no romance yet. 'I think I have a friend forever in Liam,' she said. 'And we definitely have a connection that is very sincere, very loving, and he's a good guy.'
Neeson, 73, stars in the film as as Los Angeles Police Squad detective Frank Drebin Jr., son of Nielson's Frank Drebin.
It comes after in October Neeson said he was 'madly in love' with the Playboy cover girl.
'She's just terrific to work with,' Neeson told People.
'I can't compliment her enough, I'll be honest with you. No huge ego. She just comes in to do the work. She's funny and so easy to work with. She's going to be terrific in the film.'
'Our chemistry was clear from the start. We have the utmost respect for one another,' Anderson told EW last month.
'I invited him and his assistant over for romantic dinners with me and my assistant so our relationship stayed "professionally romantic" during filming.'

The Canadian-American beauty and Liam bonded over their shared 'love of literature and a good laugh' and she regularly left cookies, muffins, and homebaked sourdough bread in his dressing room.
'I am in awe of him, his experience, and work ethic. I soaked him in like a sponge,' Pamela gushed.
'I'm hoping people love it. We had so much fun making it. I think it's timely for a beloved comedy like this. I'm a fan of the originals. As Liam says, "We could all use a good giggle." I pray we do more.'
And the feeling was definitely mutual for Neeson, who gushed to People last October: 'I'm madly in love with her. No huge ego. She just comes in to do the work. She's funny and so easy to work with. She's going to be terrific in the film.'
The Naked Gun - hitting US/UK theaters August 1 - also features Paul Walter Hauser, CCH Pounder, Kevin Durand, Busta Rhymes, Cody Rhodes, Liza Koshy, and Eddie Yu.
Jerry Zucker, Jim Abrahams, and David Zucker wrote and directed the original trilogy spanning 1988-1994, which amassed a total $476.4M at the global box office, following the short-lived ABC series Police Squad in 1982.
The Oscar-nominated actor is technically five years older than original Naked Gun star Leslie Nielsen was when he shot the third film.
Anderson previously worked with the late funnyman - who died, age 84, in 2010 - in Scary Movie 3 (2003) and Superhero Movie (2008), but they did not share any scenes together.
This September, the Sonsie Skin co-founder will fly to England to shoot a mystery role in Sally Potter's upcoming funeral drama Alma alongside Dakota Fanning and Lindsay Duncan.
In April, Pamela was in Australia filming her role as two-time divorcée Molly in Kornél Mundruczó's upcoming drama Place to Be alongside Ellen Burstyn and Taika Waititi.
Last September, Anderson was hard at work on the Spanish set of Karim Aïnouz's dark satire Rosebush Pruning for Mubi alongside Elle Fanning, Callum Turner, Riley Keough, Jamie Bell, and Lukas Gage.
The 15-time Playboy cover girl experienced a full-blown career resurgence last year after starring in Gia Coppola's drama The Last Showgirl, which earned her Golden Globe and SAG Award nominations.

WNBA star Sophie Cunningham brutally mocks league bosses after being punished for TikTok video
Indiana Fever star Sophie Cunningham has slammed the WNBA after revealing she was fined $500 for criticizing referees. The guard, who has been christened Caitlin Clark 's 'enforcer' this season, recently released a TikTok in which she called out 'some refs' in the league. Clark is among the other stars to have clashed with officials but Cunningham has now been punished over her comments. In the viral video, she wrote '@ some refs' while mouthing a line from Sabrina Carpenter's hit, 'Manchild.' The lyrics she lip-synced were: 'Stupid. Or is it slow? Maybe, it's useless' On Wednesday, Cunningham took to social media once more to reveal her punishment and mock the WNBA. 'I got fined $500 for this TikTok,' Cunningham wrote on X alongside several laughing emojis. I got fined $500 for this TikTok 🤣🤣 idk why this is funny to me… like ok 👍🏼 you got it bud! Cause there's not more important things to be worried about with our league right now — Sophie Cunningham (@sophaller) July 23, 2025 'Idk (I don't know) why this is funny to me…like ok (thumb emoji) you got it bud! Cause there's not more important things to be worried about with our league right now.' She then reposted a reply that read: 'The endless WNBA war on the people who are bringing attention to their product while protecting the behavior that turns people off NEVER ceases to amazed me.' The Fever star did not specify what she meant by 'more important things.' But her comments come amid tension between the WNBA and its players over a new collective bargaining agreement. At least week's All-Star Game, Clark and many of her WNBA rivals staged a protest. They wore t-shirts which read: 'Pay Us What You Owe Us' Cunningham previously made headlines after criticizing the WNBA's expansion plans. Earlier this season, the league announced plans to add teams in Cleveland (2028), Detroit (2029) and Philadelphia (2030). 'You want to listen to your players, too. Where do they want to play? Where are they going to get excited to play and draw fans?' Cunningham said. 'I do think that Miami would have been a great (location). Nashville is an amazing city. Kansas City, amazing opportunity.' She continued: 'I'm not so sure what the thought process is there, but at the end of the day, you want to make sure that you're not expanding our league too fast. 'I think that that's also another thing. It's kind of a hard decision-making situation. But man, I don't know how excited people are to be going to Detroit or (Cleveland).'

Billionaire Tyler Perry fired his aunt and financially cut off family members: I'm not 'welfare'
Nepotism only goes so far with Tyler Perry. The entertainment mogul, 55, explained Sunday how he once fired a close relative because she wasn't taking a job he hired for seriously. Perry appeared on the YouTube show Den of Kings, speaking with host Kirk Franklin - a 20-time Grammy winner and Gospel music icon - and guests Derek Hayes and Jay 'Jeezy' Jenkins on the topic of being a boss. Perry explained how he had an aunt who told him that 'she wanted a job' after he told her that he didn't want her living off his wealth without making some sort of contribution. 'She would always call asking for money, I would send her the money,' said Perry, who was in the headlines recently denying claims of sexual harassment brought against him by an actor. Perry said that he told his aunt, 'Listen, I want to help you - I want to help you build this thing, not be welfare to you - so, let me give you a job.' Tyler Perry, 55, explained how he once fired a close relative because she wasn't taking a job he hired for seriously Unfortunately, according to the Madea creator - who Forbes estimates is worth $1.4 billion - the position he gave his aunt didn't work out, as he had to fire her for repeated no shows. He said he expressed his frustration with his aunt, who assumed their family connection would protect her from the consequences of not showing up to work. Perry said he fired his aunt personally, informing her, 'Well, you gotta go, because you want me to hand you the money, but you don't want to work for it. 'See, that doesn't work for me.' He added that he was raising his son Aman, 10, with similar values, making him finish chores before providing him with an allowance. 'I don't believe in giving us things that are just going to handicap us - that is the worst thing you can do,' said Perry. The billionaire producer said that the 2009 death of his mother Maxine prompted action in this area of his life, as he told a number of relatives (she had asked him to support) to start looking for a job. Perry said he informed multiple relatives via letter that he would cease providing them with financial support in 60 days, and encouraged them to find work. Perry said he told the relatives in question, 'I'm not going to keep supporting you like that,' leading some to find work. He added, 'And it wasn't even, like, jobs where they made a lot of money, but it was a job. 'It was something else for them to do, feel some pride in. That's the same thing I would want someone to do for me.'
