Pamela Anderson says she has a ‘friend forever' in ‘Naked Gun' costar Liam Neeson
Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson are not just costars, they are also friends forever.
The two actors grew close while filming the upcoming 'Naked Gun' reboot, Anderson said in an interview with Entertainment Weekly published Tuesday.
'I think I have a friend forever in Liam, and we definitely have a connection that is very sincere, very loving, and he's a good guy,' she said.
Anderson went on to gush about Neeson's work as a veteran actor, characterizing him as a 'true artist.'
'He comes from theater and 'Schindler's List' and has done over a hundred films. And I did things inside out and backwards, came from television, and then my personal life kind of overshadowed my professional life,' she said. 'It is funny: We all come to this place in different ways, but to be able to share this experience with him is very meaningful and such an honor.'
Neeson shares the same admiration for Anderson, made clear when he told People magazine in an interview last year that he is 'madly in love with her.'
'She's just terrific to work with,' he said. '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.'
The two actors costar in the upcoming reboot of the satirical comedy 'Naked Gun,' with Neeson playing the role of Frank Drebin Jr., originated by the late Leslie Nielsen. Anderson plays Beth, who was previously played by Priscilla Presley.
Neilson and Presley starred alongside each other in three 'Naked Gun' films in 1988, 1991 and 1994.
The new 'Naked Gun' will be in theaters on August 1.

Loni Anderson, actor in hit 1980s show WKRP in Cincinnati, dead at 79
Loni Anderson, who played a struggling radio station's empowered receptionist on the hit TV comedy WKRP in Cincinnati, died Sunday, just days before her 80th birthday. Anderson died at a Los Angeles hospital following a "prolonged" illness, said her longtime publicist, Cheryl J. Kagan. "We are heartbroken to announce the passing of our dear wife, mother and grandmother," Anderson's family said in a statement. WKRP in Cincinnati, which aired from 1978-82, was set in a lagging Ohio radio station trying to reinvent itself with rock music. The cast included Howard Hesseman, Frank Bonner, Tim Reid, Gordon Jump, Jan Smithers and Gary Sandy, alongside Anderson as the sexy and smart Jennifer Marlowe. As the station's receptionist, the blond and high-heeled Jennifer used her sex appeal to deflect unwanted business calls for her boss, Mr. Carlson, played by Jump. Her efficiency often kept the station running in the face of others' incompetence. The role earned her two Emmy Award and three Golden Globe nominations. Anderson starred on the big screen alongside Burt Reynolds in the 1983 comedy Stroker Ace, and the two later married and became tabloid fixtures before divorcing in 1994.
