Liam Neeson 'madly in love' with Pamela Anderson as couple spark romance rumours
The tight connection between Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson has sparked global speculation as the duo remain tight-lipped about whether romance is blossoming between them.
However, it appears the signs were there as early as last year when the Taken actor openly proclaimed his affection for the former Baywatch beauty. Speaking to People magazine, Liam, 73, openly admitted to being "madly in love" with the mother of two, reports the Mirror.
During the chat, he revealed: "With Pamela, first off, I'm madly in love with her."
He continued: "She's just terrific to work with. 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."
Responding to his praise, Pamela, who became a pin-up sensation during her iconic run on the nineties hit Baywatch, described him as "the perfect gentleman".
She continued: "He brings out the best in you...with respect, kindness, and depth of experience. It was an absolute honour to work with him."
Whilst the pair have been cautious to focus solely on their professional partnership, Pamela accidentally revealed their connection extended beyond the workplace when she mentioned preparing meals for him. In May, she disclosed: "I also baked my sourdough bread for therapy and regularly shared with him [Liam], along with cookies and muffins."
She revealed that she would leave her homemade treats in his dressing room. The pair also socialised beyond the film set.
She went on: "We had many dinners out with the cast. I invited him and his assistant over for romantic dinners with me and my assistant so our relationship stayed 'professionally romantic' during filming."
Their undeniable connection was evident when they attended The Naked Gun premiere in both London and Berlin. At the London premiere, Pamela sparked romance rumours when she gave Liam a kiss on the cheek.
However, it was during their Berlin promotional tour that really got people talking when they recreated the famous Titanic scene. On social media, Pamela and Liam's tight friendship was obvious as they larked about on a boat.
In the clip shared with followers, Pamela channelled Rose, portrayed by Kate Winslet, whilst Liam supported her waist in the style of Jack, played by Leonardo DiCaprio. Pamela looked stunning in a green dress paired with a coordinating neck scarf.
She wrote alongside the footage: "From the London to Berlin... this tour has been full of smiles, laughter, and so much love... Thank you to everyone who came out to giggle with us (and watch on the big screen). NYC next!"

Gwyneth Paltrow book bombshells from Madonna fall out to x-rated Ben Affleck confession
From kissing Shakespeare to promoting vaginal steaming, Gwyneth Paltrow's career has been far from ordinary. Now an unauthorised new biography purports to shed light on the star's private life, with some eye-opening revelations For decades, Gwyneth Paltrow has been at the very heart of popular culture, from red carpets to wellness trends. Now, a new biography purports to shed light on the superstar behind closed doors. For her unauthorised book 'Gwyneth: The Biography', writer Amy Odell interviewed 220 people to get a clear picture of who the 52-year-old actress turned businesswoman really is, away from her controversial thoughts on vaginal steaming and jade eggs. Born in LA to actress Blythe Danner and film producer-director Bruce Paltrow, Gwyneth was rubbing shoulders with movie professionals from birth, and it's unsurprising that she rose to become Hollywood royalty and one of the most talked about women on Earth. It comes after Taylor Swift sparks engagement rumours as fans spot Travis Kelce's lock screen. The Talented Mr Ripley star has long intrigued fans, not least because of the many icons who populate her close inner circle, from pin-up exes to legendary former best friends. Here, the Mirror takes a look at just some of the bombshells in Odell's hair-raising new book, including a very naughty anecdote about Ben Affleck... Brad Pitt jibe Gwyneth has long appeared to be on excellent terms with her A-lister ex Brad Pitt, with the former couple even opening up about the now platonic love they share in a 2022 Goop interview. Making reference to her TV writer husband Brad Falchuk, Gwyneth joked: "I finally found the Brad I was supposed to marry. It just took me 20 years." However, Odell has suggested that things perhaps haven't always been so amicable between the pair, who first locked eyes in 1994, on the set of David Fincher's classic crime thriller, Se7en. Two years later, the iconic '90s 'It couple' announced their engagement, but parted ways before making it to the altar. It wasn't long before Brad moved on with Friends actress Jennifer Aniston, marking the beginning of the Brad, Jenn, and Angelina love triangle that would keep gossip writers chattering throughout the '00s. For Gywneth's part, she spoke fondly about her heartthrob ex in interviews, describing him as "so gorgeous and sweet" in a 2015 interview with Howard Stern. However, as claimed by Odell, in private, Gwyneth used some far less glowing terms to describe her ex-fiancé, who she reportedly blasted as "dumber than a sack of s**t" who had "terrible taste in women". A few years after her heartbreaking split from the Fight Club star, the future wellbeing entrepreneur became the face of Estee Lauder. It was during this time that a friendship developed with the founder's daughter, billionaire heiress Aerin Lauder, in whom she allegedly confided her true feelings about Brad. According to this bombshell book, while seated together at dinner one evening, Gwyneth plainly told Aerin: "He's dumber than a sack of s***." 'Toxic' friendship with Madonna Once upon a time, Gwyneth and music legend Madonna were thick as thieves back in the '90s and '00s. As two of the most recognisable women in the world, the pair had plenty in common, from being married to English husbands to a love of Kabbalah. They would even enjoy holidays together. It would appear that Gwyneth looked up to the now 66-year-old Queen of Pop as an inspiration as she navigated the challenges and pitfalls of the upper echelons of fame. Back in 2006, as per US Weekly, Gwyneth shared: 'Everything I have gone through, she went through 10 times worse and 10 times longer. She gives me good advice about how to say no and take care of myself." However, according to Odell's book, things went downhill sharply when Madonna's "toxic" behaviour allegedly left Gwyneth and her then-husband Chris Martin "disgusted". Odell wrote: 'Their relationship reached a breaking point when Madonna showed up to an island where Gwyneth and [Chris] Martin were vacationing. Madonna seemed to know that Gwyneth would be there, which Gwyneth seemed to find strange, a friend remembered. "Madonna then insisted Gwyneth and Martin join her for a big group dinner at a long table, where Madonna went off on her daughter, Lourdes. Gwyneth and Martin were disgusted by the behavior. 'I can't be around this woman anymore,' Martin told Gwyneth. 'She's awful.' Gwyneth agreed that Madonna was toxic and ended the friendship.' It's unclear when exactly this incident occurred, and no details have ever been given publicly to explain why the friendship cooled off. However, the two former besties have not been photographed together since 2010, suggesting this was the cut-off point. It was also at this point that a source told US Weekly that the women were no longer on speaking terms. Steamy Ben Affleck reveal Shortly after her painful split from Brad, Gwyneth entered into a relationship with another leading man, Ben Affleck. The year was 1997, at time when Affleck was enjoying widespread acclaim for his Academy Award-winning screenplay Good Will Hunting. Gwyneth, too, was riding a career high, being in the midst of a flurry of well-received movies. The year before, she'd starred in the title role of Emma Woodhouse in a widely beloved adaptation of Jane Austen's Emma. The year 1998 proved to be Gwyneth's golden year, seeing her star in both Sliding Doors and Shakespeare In Love. Their three-year relationship, therefore, came at an exciting time for both Gwyneth and Affleck, and these thrills reportedly extended to the bedroom. According to Odell, Gwyneth confided in makeup artist Kevyn Aucoin about the adventurous sex life she shared with Affleck, now 52. In particular, Gwyneth reportedly spoke candidly about an X-rated sex act she allegedly "loved". According to Odell: 'She spoke openly about how much she enjoyed their sex life. She told (Aucoin) one day that she loved when Affleck 'tea-bagged' her." She added: "It was the ribald side of her that her friends knew well but that the public didn't see." Saucey antics aside, Gwyneth and Affleck were well suited, but sadly, Affleck's "demons" allegedly stood in the way of a happily ever after. Odell claimed: "Her friends thought Ben was more of an intellectual match. But he had demons. Affleck was struggling with alcoholism and a gambling habit around the time he met Gwyneth.' Affleck has spoken openly about being a recovering alcoholic. In 2020, he told The New York Times: "People with compulsive behavior, and I am one, have this kind of basic discomfort all the time that they're trying to make go away. You're trying to make yourself feel better with eating or drinking or sex or gambling or shopping or whatever. But that ends up making your life worse." Gwyneth: The Biography by Amy Odell will be available to buy from July 29.

Viral 'loyalty test' trend is destroying and breaking up real life couples
The viral TikTok trend testing loyalty amongst couples is setting them up for failure and dating expert Liam Turnball has revealed just how detrimental and manipulative the test is The TikTok 'loyalty test' trend - which has gone viral with over 144.5K posts on the social media app - is damaging real relationships and breaking them up purely for viewers' entertainment. The test sees people online paying strangers to bait other people's partners to check if they would cheat, reject or entertain them. The partner will then catch them in the act if guilty, and this would all be recorded racking up often millions of views online. Liam Turnball, a relationship expert at TDM Agency, however warned people just how manipulative this test is and how it destroys many relationships. He said that the trend "might look entertaining online, but in reality, it's rooted in insecurity," as it's not about trust, but essentially based on prevalent suspicions about your partner. Liam indicated that even "if your partner passes the test and shuts it down immediately, you've still violated a boundary." It does not matter at that point whether or not they passed the 'loyalty test', as lines have been crossed. He said: "If you feel the need to trap your partner to prove something, the relationship is already in trouble." And if there was something wrong in your relationship then the viral trend is not the route to take. There are lasting impacts from the test even if it has a positive outcome. "I've seen people come into therapy who now struggle to trust their partner again, even after they passed the loyalty test. Why? Because once you plant that seed of doubt, it's very hard to unpick it. The person doing the testing becomes more paranoid, and the one being tested feels betrayed," Liam said. Both partners in the relationship face these long-lasting effects as a result of the loyalty test. Due to the videos being posted on social media, viewers have watched messy arguments, breakups and sometimes even legal threats when private messages have been shown without permission. Liam highlighted how laws in the UK show that this potentially is "illegal" as their partners have been filmed or screenshots of messages have been shown without their knowledge. The trend has gained popularity which according to Liam is not down to trust but instead insecurity, the pressure from social media and wanting public validation. Liam said people do not want to have "mature, vulnerable conversations with their partner" they instead turn "to content creation" which Liam warned is a "dangerous shift" from the former. He urged for people feeling unsure about their partner's loyalty to not resort to testing them but to try alternate methods: talking about it, asking for reassurance, seeking professional support. But he strongly said, "don't bait your partner." As that's not the right way to go about it. He also added that the creators of these videos are trying to conjure up drama by fabricating their content, fake chats, hired actors and edited screenshots, to gain more views and increased entertainment for viewers. Liam voiced that not "only are they potentially ruining real relationships, they're also convincing others to follow a trend that's built on lies." And that there is no point in believing these creators. Liam mentioned that partners should not test their significant others through traps but build that trust, "through honesty, consistency and communication." He concluded that if people are "relying on a loyalty test to feel secure, it's time to step back and ask why and whether this relationship is giving you the emotional safety you actually need." And if not, to rethink that and consider what is best for you but not to use the loyalty test as providing you the answers you think you need.
