Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson fuel romance rumors with Titanic moment
Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson have fuelled dating rumors after the two Hollywood stars recreated an iconic Titanic scene at the premiere of their latest movie, Naked Gun. Both actors attended the UCI Luxe East Side Gallery on Thursday for the latest screening on their press tour for the movie. In the upcoming Naked Gun, the crime spoof comedy sees Anderson playing Beth and Neeson in the role of Frank Drebin Jr. Heading down the same path as his father, Detective Frank Drebin Jr. now has to solve a murder case to stop the police department from shutting down. The on-screen chemistry between Anderson, 58, and Neeson, 73, as well as how comfortable they seem around each other off-camera, has led to speculation that they're an item. A pic that the former Baywatch star posted on Instagram of them posing together around a boat further fuelled rumors. As did the video she shared of her and Liam redoing a famous scene from the 1997 beloved romance flick Titanic, starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet. Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson in Berlin (Image: IMAGO / Avalon) She portrayed Winslet's character Rose, and let her "Jack," aka Neeson, pretend to be her love interest and hold her her waist, just like DiCaprio did in Titanic. "From 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!" she wrote in the caption. Additionally, on Tuesday, the pair were quite handsy during their premiere carpet premiere in London. On the red carpet earlier this week, they got chummy with each other as the former Playboy bunny planted a soft kiss on Liam's cheek while they posed for the cameras. Red carpet appearances and cutesy Instagram posts aren't the only things fuelling rumours about the actors' relationship. Neeson jokingly saying that his favorite part of making the movie was filming "the sex scenes" with his co-star also strengthened the gossip. According to The Sun, he and Anderson were provided with an intimacy coordinator on set. "I'd never had one before. But she was in the background. There was no kind of, 'OK! Excuse me!'" Neeson said. Also, Anderson confessed that the intimacy coordinator knew when to walk away, and joked that the coordinator had actually stormed off. She claimed that the coordinator had walked away, throwing up her hands in the air, "'I can't take this! This is too hot for me. I'm going for coffee.'"
