Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson Joke ‘Naked Gun' Intimacy Coordinator Left During ‘Hot' Sex Scene
Things got a little too spicy between Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson! While filming a sex scene for the upcoming Naked Gun reboot – which hits theaters on August 1 – the Taken actor, 73, revealed production called in an intimacy coordinator to help capture the moment. 'I'd never had one before. But she was in the background,' he explained, according to The Sun. 'There was no kind of, 'OK! Excuse me!'' Not only did the intimacy coordinator not interrupt them – Anderson, 58, joked that she left the set in the middle of their scene. Neeson teased that she threw her hands up and told them, 'I can't take this! This is too hot for me. I'm going for coffee.' In the highly-anticipated reboot of the classic comedy franchise, Neeson helms the role of Detective Frank Drebin Jr., who is the son of the character originally played by Leslie Nielsen in the late '80s and early '90s. The former Baywatch star plays Frank's love interest, Beth. As their characters' relationship budded on camera, the costars forged their own sweet bond. '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,' Anderson told Entertainment Weekly. 'He's 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 continued. '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.' The feelings were mutual for Neeson. In an interview with People, he said he was 'madly in love with her' and called Anderson '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,' he added. 'She's funny and so easy to work with. She's going to be terrific in the film.' Despite their playfully flirty comments about their on-screen romance, when it comes to romance, the Batman Begins actor confessed that his dating days are behind him. 'I'm past all that,' he candidly told People. Neeson was previously married to wife Natasha Richardson. They tied the knot in 1994 and remained together until she tragically passed away following a skiing accident in 2009. They share sons Micheál Richardson, 30, and Daniel Neeson, 28, together. Last year, Daniel wrote a touching tribute to his mother on the 15th anniversary of her death. 'I look forward to reuniting one day but for now I take solace in knowing you're beside me every step of the way,' he shared on Instagram in August 2024. 'Hopefully, I'm making you proud.'

Walton Goggins and Aimee Lou Wood reveal never-before-seen White Lotus sex scene as they quash feud rumors
Walton Goggins and Aimee Lou Wood have spilled the details of their saucy never-before seen sex scene that got cut from The White Lotus. The juicy tidbit came during a bizarre interview in which they finally addressed the feud rumors between them, which hit an all-time high after they unfollowed each other on Instagram. Months after feverish speculation that the White Lotus costars had a strained relationship, Goggins, 53, got emotional as he insisted they were on good terms. 'There is no feud. I adore, I love this woman madly, and she is so important to me,' he insisted during a joint interview for Variety's Actors on Actors series. At another point in their back-and-forth, the pair raised the curtain on the steamy onstream relationship between their characters - including one tantalizing moment that never made it to the airwaves. In the cut sequence, the characters apparently met up with one another at the beach, returned to their bedroom to talk over the state of their equation and then made love. 'We designed the whole journey, even down to the fact that Chelsea gets on Rick in the first [love] scene. Then in the last episode, it was Rick picking Chelsea up. It was so, so delicate,' Wood explained. Goggins shared that the scene gave the sense of 'two people who were free,' juxtaposed with the first scene, which indicated their bond. 'It was this very long, suspended moment of these two people looking at each other. It was so powerful,' added the The Hateful Eight actor. Demonstrating his cheeky sense of humor, Goggins also offered a message to The White Lotus creator Mike White: 'F*** you, Mike! We want a director's cut!' Goggins, who has been married to Nadia Conners since 2011, sang Wood's praises as he raved: 'This is Goldie Hawn. This is Meg Ryan. She can do anything, and she will.' 'You watch what the next 20 years of her experience will be. I'll be on an island, I think Greece. But she's special. There is no feud. She is love and I know that I am that to her. We care about each other very deeply,' he continued. Wood proceeded to address the outrage over headlines that Goggins unfollowed her on social media, which fans perceived as a sign they did not get along. 'I think it's such a comment on where we're at culturally,' she said over the online fury. 'Why is everyone obsessing over Instagram? That is irrelevant. We don't give a s**t about Instagram.' Wood explained she wished more people were having 'conversations about the story' of their White Lotus characters, Rick and Chelsea, and simply enjoying the show. As rumors swirled about them, Wood revealed she initially wanted to correct people, but feared her words would get twisted. 'Eventually I just started to sit back and watch these people making something out of absolutely nothing,' she said of why she stayed silent. Goggins chimed in to say: 'If I may add, just to put this to bed? The following or unfollowing. I'm a grown-a** man.' The star went on to confess that he has historically struggled with goodbyes. For example, Goggins recalled hugging his former Justified costar Tim Olyphant and telling him: 'I love you, and I hope I see you in rooms for the rest of my life.' 'I didn't talk to him for almost two years. I've done that with every single thing that I've done,' he admitted. Goggins then claimed had he been following Olyphant or his The Shield co-star Michael Chiklis that he would have unfollowed them too. The juicy tidbit came during a bizarre interview in which they finally addressed the feud rumors between them, for Variety's Actors On Actors Seeing the humor in the situation, Goggins declared: 'You know what? I'll follow you right now!' 'It's all so ridiculous,' he quipped. 'It's just a part of me just saying goodbye to this character so that now Aimee and I will be friends for f**king ever.' In response, Wood gave him a hug and says: 'I completely understand.' 'I love you,' he declares, before tearfully explaining he is 'emotional' because they 'haven't been in the same city to ever talk about any of this.' 'Hopefully that answers everybody's questions,' he concludes. 'What else? Do you guys want to talk about astrology?' Wrapping production on The White Lotus, which was filmed in Thailand over a period of seven months, was a particularly painful experience for him. Following the death of his first wife Leanne Goggins, who died by suicide in 2004, Goggins searched for peace through traveling. This led him to Thailand, then to Bangkok, in the same location as The White Lotus. 'My catharsis in this experience was different than other people's, because of my history in this place. I knew what we had gone through, and I knew how close that we had gotten, and I needed to begin to process saying goodbye to Rick and Chelsea,' Goggins explained through tears. He continued: 'And I knew that that was going to take a while for me, so I let her know, this is what I've gotta do. And she was extremely supportive about that.' 'I needed to just back away from everyone,' he said. 'I haven't spoken to anyone. I couldn't handle it. Judge me or don't. I don't give a f**k what you think. This is my process. Rick means everything to me, and Chelsea means everything to me.' Goggins and Wood portrayed star-crossed lovers Rick and Chelsea on the latest season of the HBO show, with both their characters dying in the dramatic final episode.

It's part of what actors do but it's never a joy, says Gillian Anderson as she reveals all about filming sex scenes
A TWO-MAN tent on the windy south-west coast of England might not be everyone's ideal spot for a steamy encounter. But that is where former X-Files actress Gillian Anderson found herself acting out a sex scene for her new film The Salt Path, about a homeless couple embarking on a 630-mile trek. 8 8 She was even asked to squeeze into a sleeping bag with co-star Jason Isaacs — and now she has spoken about the awkwardness of filming intimate acts with someone you barely know. Mum-of-three Gillian, 56, said: 'That is something you just expect as an actor. "That's part of what one does. I had an experience for many, many years working with the same actor every day. 'I've also done sex scenes on the first day of working, which is never a joy at any time during filming. "So you're thrown stuff all the time and just show whatever you're given. 'And Jason makes it very easy. He's very amenable, he's very likeable. 'And certainly physically, we feel like we're the same language — certainly by the end. 'We feel like our journey is baked into us, and we feel like we're part of the same conversation.' So is sex in a tent ever a good idea? Gillian said: 'Well, sex in the back of a car, sex anywhere, I mean, yeah, why not? 'Uncomfortable, tight quarters, but needs must . . .' The star became an international sex symbol playing FBI special agent Dana Scully in The X-Files, alongside David Duchovny as special agent Fox Mulder, in the original hit series that ran from 1993 to 2002. Secret desires Since then she has enjoyed a distinguished three-decade career that has seen her take on a variety of roles, from Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher in The Crown to therapist Jean Milburn in Netflix's racy series Sex Education. She has also found time to become a real-life crusader for female sexual empowerment and is currently working on a follow-up to her hugely successful 2024 book, Want. The collection of anonymous female sexual fantasies included one from a woman who wanted to be intimate with an office doorknob. I read the book and I couldn't speak for days. I was really profoundly affected by it. I think I might have threatened them within an inch of their lives to hire me! Gillian even hid one of her own fantasies in the mix — although she has not revealed which one — and has hinted that she may put more of her own secret desires in book two. The Salt Path is based on the book of the same name by long-distance walker and writer Raynor Winn. It tells her real-life tale of walking from Minehead in Somerset to Poole, Dorset, with her husband Moth after he is diagnosed with an incurable neuro-degenerative disease called corticobasal degeneration, or CBD. The couple had also become homeless in 2013, so they decided to set out on the 630-mile South West Coast Path with nothing but a tent bought on eBay, £115 in cash and a paycard to withdraw £48 a week in tax credits. 8 8 The heartwarming book went on to sell more than a million copies and, at this week's Hay Literary Festival, Raynor described the moment she found out that Gillian was going to play her in the film. She said: 'I thought, 'How is that ever going to work? She's so perfect, so glamorous, so beautiful. How is she going to capture me at such a raw moment in my life?' ' The tent sex scene with White Lotus star Jason did not feature in the book, but was added by writers for the movie adaptation, which was released on Friday. Raynor added: 'There's only one particularly hot scene in that book — I gave them big waves. I got back a sweaty scene in a tent.' For Gillian, playing Raynor became one of her most challenging roles, but one that she was desperate to play. She said: 'I read the book and I couldn't speak for days. I was really profoundly affected by it. I think I might have threatened them within an inch of their lives to hire me!' Gillian has always been drawn to playing strong women and found that becoming those characters on screen instilled a new-found confidence. Rebellious teenager She said on Fearne Cotton's Happy Place podcast: 'I think it awakened in me a kind of stirring in my own sense of my sexual self and sensual self. 'I don't know whether it had always been asleep or whether it was awake when I was younger and then was asleep. 'But the fact that so much of my career as an actor — starting as Scully in my 20s, where suddenly I was consistently called on to be the smartest in the room — I was asked to show up and believe that I could do those things. "It showed that I had it somewhere in me to look that smart, to be that powerful, to be that confident, to walk that way.' Gillian was born in Chicago but raised in London during her early years. Most of the time when I show up to work, particularly at the beginning of a job, I think I am going to be fired. Every single job, the first two days are hell. Then the family moved back to the US when she was 11 and she later became a rebellious teenager. She went through a lesbian phase, was arrested and dabbled in punk — getting into what she called 'dangerous things'. By the time she was 14 she was in therapy. Ten years later, while living on benefits in Michigan, she landed the X-Files job — and found overnight global fame. But Gillian admits she still struggles to conform. She told the We Can Do Hard Things podcast: 'I always have been a bit of an outsider. I didn't really make a lot of friends in high school. 'My hair was always not unlike it is right now — ratty and not curled. 'Then I started wearing oversized thrift clothes, cinching it with a belt, pointy black boots with buckles, and I started to shave my head and have a Mohawk. Also, by then I'd had a lesbian relationship that they all knew about and teased me about. 'I was kind of on the outside. Then true to form, on graduation night, I was actually arrested, because I tried to break into the high school with my then boyfriend to glue the locks shut.' 8 8 'I started panicking' Gillian, who has been married twice, currently lives in London where she has been in a long-term relationship with The Crown writer Peter Morgan. Mum to daughter Piper, 30, and sons Oscar, 18, and 16-year-old Felix, she juggles acting with running the soft drinks company she founded with Peter's son, Robin. And despite being at the top of her game for more than 30 years, she admits she still feels insecure at times. On playing Margaret Thatcher in 2020, she said: 'It was daunting. From the moment I said yes, I started panicking. "She is a big deal in the UK. And she's a very divisive character and however people feel about her, there's no middle ground — they either absolutely hate her or they love her. "So I knew people felt very strongly, and obviously I wanted to do a good job. So I felt quite a lot of pressure.' She added: 'Most of the time when I show up to work, particularly at the beginning of a job, I think I am going to be fired. 'Every single job, the first two days are hell. Literally I think that I'm going to be fired and that the producers are huddling around the monitor. I'm literally going, 'Oh my God, what have I done?' 'And so the point is that I can do that and act as if I am this confident person, despite having panic attacks. 'If I can do those things, then as far as I'm concerned, anybody can.' 8
