Liam Neeson says he's ‘madly in love' with Naked Gun co-star Pamela Anderson
Liam Neeson said he is 'madly in love' with Pamela Anderson after shooting a new Naked Gun film together. Neeson plays the son of Leslie Nielsen's character Frank Drebin in the comedy spoof reboot that also stars Baywatch actor Anderson, 57, as the female lead. 'With Pamela, first off, I'm madly in love with her,' the Oscar-winning Schindler's List actor, 72, told People shortly after developing a close bond while filming. 'She's just terrific to work with. I can't compliment her enough, I'll be honest with you.' Neeson continued: 'She's funny and so easy to work with.' Since meeting on set, former Playboy model Anderson has shared several comedic photos of Neeson on her Instagram page Anderson, who recently won acclaim for her role in the 2024 drama The Last Showgirl, branded Neeson 'the perfect gentleman', and said he 'brought out the best' in her. However, the pair batted off romance rumours, with Neeson saying he is 'done with dating' and Anderson stating she 'has a friend forever' in the Taken star. 'We definitely have a connection that is very sincere, very loving,' she said. In 2009, Neeson's wife, the Parent Trap actor Natasha Richardson, died two days after hitting her head while undertaking a beginner's skiing lesson at a resort in Mont Tremblant, Canada. Initially deciding she felt fine, Richardson returned to her hotel room – but was taken to a local hospital after falling ill 45 minutes later. The following day, she was airlifted to a New York hospital and placed on life support. The 45-year-old's family made the decision to switch off life support and she died with Neeson by her side. An autopsy found she had suffered epidural hematoma (bleeding on the brain) after a blunt blow to the head. Neeson married Richardson in 1994. Neeson's role in The Naked Gun follows comedic cameos in TV shows Atlanta and Derry Girls. The film is directed by The Lonely Island star Akiva Schaffer. The original Naked Gun was written and directed by Airplane!'s Jerry Zucker, Jim Abrahams, and David Zucker, and was based on their television series Police Squad!, whichparodied the genre of police procedurals that were popular at the time. The original Naked Gun trilogy was hugely successful, making over $216m at the box office. The new film will be released on 1 August.
