Pamela Anderson opens up about career reset in Naked Gun reboot
The film marks her return to mainstream comedy, with Anderson playing femme fatale Beth Davenport alongside Liam Neeson, her first major on-camera role since her Golden Globe nominated performance in The Last Showgirl.
Anderson shared that she nearly missed the opportunity to audition, as her former agent initially declined to send her the script, until director Gia Coppola intervened by sending it through one of Anderson's sons.
She said the unexpected chance to portray a complex character in a comedic setting still 'has me really excited.'
Her co-star Liam Neeson praised her presence and professionalism: 'I can't compliment her enough … no huge ego. She's funny and so easy to work with. She's going to be terrific in the film.'
Anderson described their collaboration as meaningful, noting a genuine connection: 'I think I have a friend forever in Liam. We definitely have a connection that is very sincere, very loving.'
This role follows Anderson's acclaimed performance in The Last Showgirl, which earned her a Golden Globe nod and helped shift perceptions of her beyond the Baywatch image.
At this stage in her career, Anderson says she's 'just really excited to be such a part of this and to play a real character.'

Anthony Anderson responds to viral Lindsay Lohan interview backlash
A resurfaced 2003 interview featuring Anthony Anderson and then-17-year-old Lindsay Lohan has sparked significant backlash online due to inappropriate remarks made by Anderson. T he clip, from The Sharon Osbourne Show aired on December 16, 2003, shows Anderson, 33 at the time, making comments about Lohan's dating life that many viewers now find disturbing.

The actor also made other remarks, including joking about Lohan kissing him on the lips and commenting on her growth since her appearance in The Parent Trap. I'll never pass up an opportunity to remind everyone that Anthony Anderson is a rapist and also a pedophile according to his words in this video — caliphornia QING (@caliphorniaqing) July 23, 2025 In response to the viral clip, Anderson's spokesperson told People that the interview 'was clearly intended as comedy.' The statement emphasized Anderson's respect for Lohan and expressed regret if the humor was in poor taste.

The interview lasted about six and a half minutes, during which Anderson also discussed Lohan's then-upcoming projects, including Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen and Mean Girls. Anderson, now 54, has faced other legal allegations in the past, including accusations of sexual assault which were later dropped or not pursued by authorities. He has consistently denied these claims. The resurfacing of this interview has reignited conversations about appropriate boundaries in celebrity interviews, especially concerning minors.
