Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson have been turning heads lately. The co-stars, out promoting The Naked Gun, have reportedly gotten close off-screen too. Their chemistry on-screen sizzled, and now fans are asking if there's something real happening behind the scenes. While both Pamela and Liam are staying tight-lipped about the budding romance, some are calling it a classic Hollywood fauxmance, a PR move to hype the film. But those close to them say that's not the case.
A source close to the couple told Page Six, 'It's very sincere how they feel. That is the truth.' They added, 'They're not going to show up on the red carpet and be adorable just to be fake, that's not either of them.' Pamela and Liam first met last summer on the set of The Naked Gun reboot, which was shot in Atlanta. The movie is a remake of the 1988 comedy that originally starred Leslie Nielsen and Priscilla Presley. While they didn't stay in touch for a while after filming, sources say they recently 'rekindled' their bond. During a recent interview, the two played along their romance buzz, even pretending to kiss on the Today show before brushing it off as just a 'joyful experience' on set. At the New York premiere, they posed for photos with their kids, Pam's sons Brandon and Dylan, and Liam's sons Micheál and Daniel.

Liam, now 73, had said he was done with dating, and Pamela, 58, has been through a lot in her love life, married five times and involved in multiple affairs, which ended on a messy note, including with Tommy Lee, Kid Rock, Rick Salomon, and Adil Rami. She's also had a short-lived marriage to her bodyguard Dan Hayhurst and even a rumoured romance with Julian Assange. Despite all, she's rebuilt her life. She now lives quietly in Canada and focuses on a healthy lifestyle. She's also been making big comebacks lately, including her Golden Globes-nominated performance in The Last Showgirl.
As for Liam, he gave a major hint about his feelings for her last year when he said, 'I'm madly in love' and called her 'terrific to work with.' Pamela told ET, their connection is 'sincere and loving' and that Liam is a 'good guy.' Friends and family close to Pamela believe Liam is actually the best man she's ever dated, calling him 'a gentleman' and 'very present.' Even Andy Cohen, a close friend of Liam's late wife, Natasha Richardson, has given the couple his blessing. 'She's an independent woman, just like Tash was,' he said on his radio show, adding that the relationship 'just works.'

Pamela recently headlined her Netflix documentary, where she opened up about the trauma she faced growing up. Titled Pamela, a Love Story and her memoir Love, Pamela, the doc mentions several instances of sexual abuse before age 18, including one where she was molested by a 25-year-old when she was just 12. She also revealed the violent nature of her marriage to Tommy Lee, who served jail time for assaulting her. In recent years, Pamela has stayed away from Hollywood drama. Meanwhile, Liam has mostly stayed single since Natasha Richardson's tragic death in a ski accident in 2009. He did have a relationship with PR exec Freya St. Johnston for two years but has kept a low profile since.
