Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson 'can't fake' their chemistry as insider spills on red hot romance
Insiders who know the pair say their romance is the real deal. 'It's very sincere how they feel,' a source told Page Six. 'That is the truth.'
'They're not going to show up on the red carpet and be adorable just to be fake, that's not either of them.'
'They make for a beautiful couple…Liam is a gentleman, he's warm and present, he's a very lovely man,' the source claimed.
According to an insider who spoke to US Weekly, Neeson, 73, 'has been intrigued and smitten' by the former Baywatch star, 58, 'since they started filming the comedy,' adding that the action star 'expressed this to her.'
The widowed Neeson, who lost his wife Natasha Richardson following a skiing accident in March 2009, had sworn off dating in 2024, but admitted to People that he was 'madly in love' with Anderson.
'She's just terrific to work with,' he said, adding, '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.'
For her part, Anderson said she was 'nervous' to meet the Taken star before starting the project.
''[I was] nervous to meet [Liam], of course and you're always nervous the first day on the set...' she said at a SiriusXM Town Hall event in New York City on Wednesday where the couple held hands.
The actress who has been vegan for more than three decades brought healthy treats to her co-star on set.
'I brought sourdough bread to Liam and cookies and muffins and it kept me busy, said the I Love You: Recipes from the Heart cookbook author.
She said the baking 'Kept me outta trouble,' and that her muffin recipe is 'very special... It's very good for you. Let's just say that.' Neeson called the sourdough 'phenomenal' and revealed the muffins featured 'a lot of bran'.
During the event, the Schindler's List star admitted he was charmed by Pamela from the moment they first met.
He said: 'Well, you know, we had never met before and I remember thinking: "Wow, she is gorgeous" but she had this wonderful sense of silliness and just humanity about her.
In a 2024 interview with People Neeson said of Anderson, 'I can't compliment her enough... She's funny and so easy to work with. She's going to be terrific in the film'; Pictured in New York City on Wednesday
'I don't want to blow her head up, but it was like I just felt an ease with her, you know, and we discovered a silliness with each other, which was terrific, you know?'
The pair appear to have the approval of their sons, who joined them on the red carpet of the US premiere in New York City on Monday.
Neeson is dad to Daniel, 28, who shares his last name, and Micheál Richardson, 30, who shares his late mother's. Anderson shares her sons Brandon, 29, and Dylan, 27, with ex-husband Tommy Lee.

Laura Loomer testified that Bill Maher's joke about her sleeping with Trump torpedoed her chance at White House job
MAGA extremist Laura Loomer recently testified in her $150 million defamation lawsuit against Bill Maher that the HBO star's joke about her sleeping with Donald Trump ended up costing her a position at the White House because of the 'media frenzy' it created. Loomer, the self-annointed Trump 'loyalty' enforcer whose influence with the president has seemingly risen in recent months, sat down for a deposition last week with HBO's attorney. And, as Puck reported, it quickly became 'every bit as unhinged as one might expect.' The lawsuit, which Loomer filed in October of last year, centers on a September 2024 episode of Real Time where the comic suggested that Loomer's sudden ascendance in Trump's orbit was due to the two of them engaging in a sexual liaison. 'I think maybe Laura Loomer's in an arranged relationship to affect the election because she's very close to Trump. She's 31, looks like his type,' Maher quipped. 'We did an editorial here a few years ago… it was basically, who's Trump f***ing? Because I said, you know, it's not nobody. He's been a dog for too long, and it's not Melania. I think we may have our answer this week. I think it might be Laura Loomer.' In her complaint, Loomer alleges that she was subjected to 'unjustified ridicule, embarrassment, loss of reputation and professional opportunity, as well as being damaged financially' by the joke, adding that the comments were 'false, malicious and defamatory.' She also claimed that Maher denied her request for a public apology and an invitation on his show to 'mitigate prior and any further damage.' Maher's joke, meanwhile, came days after Loomer accompanied the then-candidate to a presidential debate and events commemorating the 9/11 attacks, prompting concerns from advisers and allies about her unofficial campaign role. During the final days of the campaign, he would publicly distance himself from her, all while promising his aides that he'd stop regularly inviting her on his flights. During her deposition, which was briefly on the public docket last week before being sealed by Magistrate Judge Philip Lammens, Loomer looked to make the case that she would currently be working in the White House if it weren't for Maher. Throughout the questioning from attorney Kate Bolger, Loomer boasted about her increasing clout with the president, stating that he first became impressed with her adversarial 'reporting' on GOP presidential rival Ron DeSantis in 2023. Loomer noted that she would soon be invited to Mar-a-Lago and that Trump told Susie Wiles, his current White House chief of staff, to immediately hire her. Instead, Loomer stated, that didn't happen because the news was leaked to the New York Times, which reported that her hiring 'would cause a backlash, given her history of inflammatory statements and her embrace of the Republican Party's fringes.' The Times later appended the story to point out its reporting had 'ignited a firestorm' among the MAGA base and resulted in Trump backing off. Still, according to Loomer, she continued to enjoy access in Trumpworld and estimated that she'd visited Mar-a-Lago at least '20,30 times,' flew around with Trump, and submitted a resume for an administration job. She also recalled that on the flight to Trump's debate with Kamala Harris in Philadelphia, she showed him what she said was a police report after he asked if the rumors about Haitian immigrants in Ohio were real, leading to the infamous 'eating dogs' moment. Bolger, meanwhile, pressed Loomer on why she was so certain it was Maher's joke – which came days after the debate – that doomed her job prospects with the president. 'Other than Bill Maher, can you name a single human being on all of Planet Earth that believes what Bill Maher said?' Bolger asked, prompting Loomer to respond: 'It's up for interpretation.' Loomer went on to say that Trump campaign manager Chris LaCivita would later tell her she wasn't welcome back on Trump's plane because of the 'media frenzy' the HBO host's joke had sparked. Elsewhere in the deposition, Bolger brought up the lengthy history of inflammatory commentary from Loomer, a self-described 'proud Islamophobe' who has made numerous accusations about the personal lives of other prominent political figures. This could have potentially been an effort to establish that Maher's one-off line about Loomer wouldn't have done any meaningful reputational damage to the far-right provocateur. That did lead Loomer to bring up her ongoing feud with fellow MAGA firebrand Marjorie Taylor Greene, whom Loomer accused of being 'very jealous of me' and not well-liked by Trump's staff. Naturally, a sitdown with Loomer wouldn't be complete without a nasty swipe, which Bolger received when the plaintiff took aim at her past representation of Disney in the ABC News lawsuit that was settled with Trump. 'I'm not going to be gaslit by a Democratic lawyer who represents fake news media,' Loomer fumed. While Loomer may not have a White House job, and the six-figure salary that comes with it, she has been patting herself on the back lately over the amount of influence she supposedly wields with the president. Claiming to have played an outsized role in the abrupt firings of more than a dozen high-ranking administration officials over what she says is insufficient loyalty to the president, who she has repeatedly declared her 'love' for, Loomer recently joked that one of her friends now calls her 'Trump's Rasputin.'

Travis Kelce glad to escape Taylor Swift attention in 'sanctuary' of Kansas City Chiefs camp
Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce is glad to escape the massive attention he gets as Taylor Swift 's boyfriend, calling the team's training camp a 'sanctuary' for him personally. The Chiefs have a long standing relationship with Missouri Western University, where they hold training camp at the Division-II powerhouse in St. Joseph. Players stay in dorms and have the tradition of spending time closer together instead of the teams that have camp and release players home every evening. 'I love it here,' Kelce said of training camp. It gets me away from everything else that's going on in this crazy world. You can really just focus in on your craft and focus in on being the best you can for the guys around you, man.' 'Football has always been the biggest driving force I've ever had. I love coming out here and focusing on this and getting better for another run at hopefully a Super Bowl.' Kelce added he flushed the pain from losing the Super Bowl to the Philadelphia Eagles a long time ago, with him being individually criticized for his performance in the loss. Kelce did take the loss to heart, even while around Swift, coming into this year's training camp looking slimmer than he did 12 months ago. 'He's svelte right now. He looks like he's 20,' Chiefs coach Andy Reid said last month. 'He's doing a good job and he's in great shape. I'm not sure he didn't come in first on the whole conditioning thing. He was right up front. You can see he's been working out. He's worked hard to get to this spot.' During the 2024 offseason, Kelce and Swift's relationship was new, as he appeared to be more distracted by her worldwide 'Eras Tour' and other responsibilities including hosting Prime Video's 'Are You Smarter Than A Celebrity?'. This was a more low-key period away from the gridiron in 2025, as outside of a few moments, stayed away from cameras.
