Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson sparked speculation of a romance after working together on The Naked Gun reboot.
The costars play love interests in the comedy and gushed about working together on the project. While promoting the film ahead of its August 2025 release, Anderson and Neeson raised eyebrows as they showed physical affection toward each other on multiple red carpets.
Many were dying to know if the pair were together in real life, and Today host Craig Melvin decided to get some answers from the sources themselves.
“What’s the deal here?” Melvin asked Anderson and Neeson in July 2025. “You’re both single right now. There’s clearly chemistry on display throughout this film. Are you two an item?”
Neeson responded, “Craig!” as Anderson asked, “What? I don’t understand the question.”
After dodging the question, Neeson shared some insight about his bond with Anderson.
“I had never met Pamela before. We met on set. And we discovered we had a lovely, budding chemistry — as two actors,” he explained, to which Anderson agreed. “It’s like, ‘Oh, this is nice. Let’s not mold this. Let’s just let it breathe.’ And that’s what we did.”
