From Co-Stars to Something More: How Liam and Pamela Got Close
At first glance, the match might seem unlikely—but also kind of perfect
It’s a story that’s taken many by surprise: Pamela Anderson, 58, and Liam Neeson, 73, are reportedly dating. According to People magazine, what started as on-screen chemistry has now turned into something real. A source close to the outlet revealed that the pair met while filming the upcoming fourth installment of The Naked Gun, set to hit theaters on August 22.
At first glance, the match might seem unlikely—but also kind of perfect. She’s a ’90s icon, passionate activist, and timeless muse. He’s a legendary action star with that unmistakable deep voice and intense screen presence. But apparently, there were sparks flying behind the scenes. “They’ve been really enjoying each other’s company,” the insider told People.
What began as a professional connection has grown into something more. “It’s a budding romance in the early stages. It’s sincere, and it’s clear they’re smitten with each other,” the source added.

Sometimes Real Life is Better Than Movie Romance
At the New York premiere on Monday, July 28, Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson walked the red carpet with their children. Pamela was joined by Brandon (29) and Dylan (27), from her relationship with Tommy Lee, while Liam brought Micheál (30) and Daniel (28), sons of his late wife, Natasha Richardson. The moment felt like a blended family snapshot, already showing signs of closeness between them.
But the highlight came the next day, during their joint appearance on the Today Show. In a lighthearted moment, the two jokingly pretended to get caught kissing on live TV—though, just a few days earlier at the London premiere on July 22, Pamela had already planted a real kiss on Liam’s cheek.

If there was any doubt about the chemistry and admiration between them, past interviews make it clear. Back in October 2024, Liam said, “With Pamela, first off, I’m madly in love with her. She’s just 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. She’s funny and so easy to work with.”
Pamela had her own kind words to share, saying, “Liam is the perfect gentleman. He brings out the best in you with respect, kindness and depth of experience. It was an absolute honor to work with him.”
It turns out their connection goes beyond acting—they also share a love for literature, which helped them bond on a deeper level during filming.
The Tragic Death of Neeson’s Wife
What makes this story even more surprising is that Liam Neeson had stepped away from dating following the sudden passing of his wife, Natasha Richardson, at age 45. The couple met back in 1992 on Broadway while starring in Anna Christie, but officially went public on June 6, 1993, at the 47th Tony Awards.
