Pamela Anderson, 58, admits 'you can't help falling in love' with Liam Neeson, 73, as she opens up about their 'chemistry' after it was revealed they've been dating 'for a while'
The Playboy veteran, 58, and Taken star, 73, had stirred up rumours of a romance after sharing an unexpected amount of PDA on red carpets to promote their new movie The Naked Gun, which hit cinemas on Friday, August 1.
Last month, a source confirmed to the Daily Mail that they have been dating 'for a while'.
And in a new interview, Pamela has admitted that 'you can't help falling in love' with her co-star.
Discussing their new movie, the beauty revealed she was 'nervous' to start working with Liam, but he turned out to be a 'gentleman'.
Pamela told OK! magazine: 'He's such a gentleman, such a sweetheart, so giving and generous, and so complimentary and supportive that, you know, you can't help but fall in love with him.'
She continued: 'We do have chemistry and, you know, off-set, he's silly. He has that little boy sense of humour. Yeah, he's funny.
'On set, I don't think we broke too much, but in rehearsals, we'd be playing around and having a bit of a laugh.'
It comes after it was revealed that the two had been dating 'for a while'.
The May/December lovebirds have been kissing on the red carpet while promoting the high-profile comedy in New York City and London.
'Pam is very drawn to Liam because he is totally open to her way of thinking and living, and especially her approach to fame, which is impressive,' a source told Daily Mail.
'She has been telling friends he is smitten and does a lot of sweet things for her, like sending her flowers, and spending time with her sons and dogs.'
The insider has noted they've managed to keep the long-distance romance private by spending time at her house in Canada.
'Pam cooks and gardens at home... it's wholesome and appealing and very un-Hollywood and Liam loves that,' said the insider.
'He actually gets involved.'
Daily Mail has reached out to Pamela's and Liam's representatives for comment.
Eyebrows were raised in October 2024 when Liam said he loved the former Playboy model.
He told People: 'With Pamela, first off, I'm madly in love with her. 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.'
Pamela said that Liam is 'the perfect gentleman' and he 'brings out the best in you … with respect, kindness and depth of experience. It was an absolute honor to work with him.'
And she told EW: 'We definitely have a connection that is very sincere, very loving. He's a good guy.'
This comes after Liam has joked that his favourite part of The Naked Gun was filming 'the sex scenes' with Pamela.
The actor stars as Frank Drebin Jr. opposite Pamela as nightclub singer Beth in the comedy reboot, and Liam teased he particularly enjoyed shooting their love scenes, which were made with the help of an intimacy coordinator.
The Sun newspaper reported Liam joked the best bit of the shoot was 'the sex scenes', and he added of the intimacy coordinator: 'I'd never had one before. But she was in the background. There was no kind of: "Ok! Excuse me!"'
The publication went on to report that Liam claimed the intimacy coordinator threw her hands in the air and exclaimed: 'I can't take this! This is too hot for me. I'm going for coffee.'
In The Naked Gun - which is a new take on the original Leslie Nielsen 1988 comedy movie - Detective Frank Drebin Jr. (Neeson) takes on his first big case, determined to solve a high-profile murder and save the police department from closure.
Following in his father's hilariously clumsy footsteps, he stumbles through outrageous situations while trying to solve the mystery.
Liam said he didn't want to 'emulate' Nielsen in the new film, which was directed by Akiva Schaffer and hit screens on August 1.
He told Empire magazine: 'I wouldn't say nerve-wracking, but every day I would go up to Akiva after we wrapped and say, 'How was it?' Because I just didn't know.
'I did not want to emulate the wonderful Leslie Nielsen, but the only thing I grabbed from him, was, 'Be serious. Don't try to be funny. Just stick to being a serious cop who is a bit of a doofus.'
The Taken actor also admitted he wasn't sure if he was funny enough for The Naked Gun - which also stars Paul Walter Hauser and Danny Huston.
Speaking with Entertainment Weekly, he said: 'During the whole shoot - I'm being very honest - I still did not know, when we wrapped at the end of each working day, whether it was working for me.
'Pamela, Paul, Danny, everybody else, I thought, were very funny. I just couldn't put a verdict on myself, on my own performance.

Kathy Griffin, 64, continues to show off THIRD facelift as she steps out in Malibu
continued to show off her third facelift during a solo outing in Malibu on Thursday. The 64-year-old comedian - who first unveiled the latest cosmetic procedure earlier this month - was seen stopping by a gym for a Pilates session during the daytime excursion. The TV personality confirmed that she underwent the surgery on an episode of her Talk Your Head Off podcast. Kathy kept it casual wearing a pair of fitted, blue leggings as well as a short-sleeved, dark navy shirt. She additionally slipped into a pair of black, Croc flats and easily carried a vibrant blue purse in her hand. Her reddish locks fell down past her shoulders in natural waves while her bangs fell onto her forehead. Kathy flashed a cheerful smile as she made her way through a crowded parking lot towards the gym. The My Life On The D-List star recently commented on her recent taut appearance during an episode of her podcast which aired earlier this month. 'Very taut is also very true!' the actress said, before confirming she had underwent another facelift. 'It's my third. I know that's so vain! I'm so vain for no reason. 'No one has ever gone to a Kathy Griffin show to see her beautiful, youthful face. You come to hear my jokes, which is what I want.' She continued, 'I don't want you to come to care what I look like. I'm in Lululemons today for God's sake. I'm in my fat pants. I don't have dysmorphia... I have a little.' Kathy gave candid details about the procedure and shared to her fans that her facelift was done by Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Dr. Ben Talei. The comedian - who previously presented him a Daytime Beauty Award in 2023 - then gushed, 'I love him, I can't say enough good about him.' Along with the facelift, the star also got a foxy eye lift, work done on her chin as well as a blepharoplasty - which 'removes excess skin from the eyelids,' per Mayo Clinic. 'There's a stitch in my chin, which you're probably not going to see unless you're under me, but not in that way,' she explained. 'I'm going to be honest. It's painful. So these bi***es that are like, "It's like getting a tooth filled! It's nothing!" No, it's painful.' Afterwards, Kathy went to a 'rich lady recovery place' and then returned home. 'You get out of that place and you come home and maybe you come home with a nurse, and it's disgusting. I'm not going to lie. The first night there's drains that come out of your chin. I know it's so gross. But the vanity takes over.' And last week, the Emmy winner unveiled her facelift and wrinkle-free appearance during an outing in Malibu. One month earlier in July, the actress l ooked nearly unrecognizable as she sported a wild hairstyle in L.A. Kathy - who had half of her left lung removed during a 2021 cancer battle - has opened up about ageism in the entertainment industry in the past, such as when she interviewed with Deadline back in 2016. 'I hear it all the time,' she said, referencing to comments she has gotten about her age over the years. 'I've been hearing it since I was 30, from managers, agents, studio heads and network executives.' Kathy continued, 'I'm sure I heard it in the last year. They really think nothing of saying to me, "You're really funny, but they've decided to go younger." It's so common for a woman to hear that. 'I don't think anyone ever told them you're not supposed to say that. They think it's still a legitimate reason for someone not to get a job...' The comedian's plastic surgery journey began back in 1986 when she had a nose job at the age of 26. Other procedures she has undergone in the past include a brow-lift, breast enlargement and near-fatal liposuction. Kathy is preparing to hit the stage later this year for two shows and referenced her latest cosmetic surgery in the tour name which is called: New Face, New Tour. On November 8, she is slated to perform in Las Vegas at the Criss Angel Theater at Planet Hollywood. And later that same month, the comedian will also hold a show in Anaheim, California on November 22. Kathy made the announcement in July and shared, 'Just when you thought I was done… I come back better than ever in classic Griffin fashion! 'I'm happy to announce two new upcoming shows this November. Find me in the glamorous Las Vegas on November 8th and Anaheim on November 22nd.'

A-list movie star goes almost unrecognized on very rare outing with longtime partner at LAX
Rachel McAdams was spotted at Los Angeles International Airport with her longtime partner Jamie Linden this week. The 46-year-old Mean Girls sensation and 44-year-old screenwriter were casually dressed in coordinating denim outfits as they retrieved their luggage from baggage claim on Wednesday evening. For her part, Rachel was clad in a chambray button-up shirt, black T-shirt and tan pants. Her long, tousled locks flowed out from underneath a baseball cap and a pair of wired headphones were draped around her neck. Jamie layered a white T-shirt underneath a patterned button-up blue shirt, adding light wash jeans. The silver screen siren was nearly unrecognizable as she attempted to go under the radar while grabbing two hardshell roller suitcases. The 46-year-old Mean Girls sensation and Jamie were casually dressed in coordinating denim outfits as they retrieved their luggage from baggage claim on Wednesday evening Rachel and Jamie have been romantically linked since April 2016 and share two kids. They welcomed their firstborn child, a son, in April 2018, and their daughter was born two years later. In November 2018 the longtime actress told The Times about motherhood: 'It's the greatest thing that's ever happened to me, hands down. '[People say] your life is not your own anymore. But I had 39 years of me, I was sick of me, I was so happy to put the focus on some other person. I waited a long time.' Asked if she'd deliberately waited so long to become a mother, she shared: 'It's just how it happened. And I didn't want to do it before it was the right time.' The publication noted that Rachel was waiting to find a complementary partner. 'I just wanted to be with someone creative. We live such a gypsy life as actors, so [it's great] being with someone who can be on the road as well,' she explained. The parents-of-two have made it a point to keep both their relationship and their children out of the spotlight. In May 2022 the silver screen siren made a rare public comment about her daughter, whose name she hasn't revealed. Speaking with Access Hollywood while promoting Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret, she said, 'I'm excited for my own little girl to see it one day.' Before meeting Jamie and becoming a mom, Rachel told InStyle in 2010: 'Part of me is very attached to the idea of having children. 'It'll depend on if I find the person I want to do that with.' Before settling down with the writer, she dated actor Michael Sheen, splitting in 2013 after two years together.
