Pamela Anderson shares her feelings for Liam Neeson after 'intimidating' meeting
Pamela Anderson has hailed 'sweetheart' Liam Neeson after working with him on Naked Gun.
The pair worked together on the comedy reboot, which debuts in cinemas on August 1.
Pamela admitted she couldn't help but fall in love with her 'fantastic' co-star.
"He's had such an incredible career, starting in theatre and just kind of being part of this acting royalty, from Schindler's List and all the other films he's done. So, it was intimidating," Anderson said of her Irish co-star.
"I was afraid to meet him," she admitted. "I was literally shaking the first day I came to rehearse our first scene.
"But once we got going... I mean, he's such a gentleman. He's such a sweetheart, and he's so giving and generous and was so complimentary and supportive.
"You can't help but fall in love with Liam," she said.
Anderson plays Neeson's love interest Beth, while Neeson plays Lt Frank Drebin Jr, taking over the lead role from the late comedy legend Leslie Nielsen.
As for why she chose to star in a Naked Gun movie, Anderson explained: "I've just kind of restarted my career.
"I did Broadway, and then I did The Last Showgirl, and I thought it would be a nice juxtaposition to do a high comedy after doing drama."
"The fact that they even thought of me for this was so exciting," Anderson continued.
"I love the Naked Guns. I thought that they were really funny. They're just such crazy, silly comedies. And I think the world needs that right now."
