Pamela Anderson’s ‘Second Act’ With Liam Neeson Might Just Be Her Best Love Story Yet
The cutest thing to come out of The Naked Gun reboot isn’t the fact that a comedy film is finally back in movie theaters; it’s the adorable romance of Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson.
With Neeson’s friends, including Andy Cohen, enthusiastically endorsing this relationship, Anderson’s pals are now chiming in about the new-ish love. They are pushing back against any “fauxmance” narrative to Page Six, noting that the former Baywatch star would never risk her “second act” in Hollywood for a PR move.
“It’s very sincere how they feel,” an insider shared with the media outlet. “That is the truth. They’re not going to show up on the red carpet and be adorable just to be fake, that’s not either of them.”
The source also gave a clearer timeline of the romance, revealing that there were sparks on the Atlanta, Georgia set, but they are now “rekindling” those feelings during the promotional push for the film.
A second source pointed out that what fans are seeing between Neeson and Anderson is “happening in real time, here and now” — they are watching them fall in love. According to Us Weekly, the 73-year-old Irish actor was the one who made the first move. Describing him as “intrigued and smitten” with the 58-year-old actress, he was the one who “expressed” his feelings first. Neeson has been shooting his shot ever since, and they reportedly kept their blossoming romance under wraps at her ultra-private home in Canada.
Neeson has been gushing about Anderson to whomever would listen to him ever since. “I thought, ‘Oh, my God, she is so easy on the eyes,’” he said of his girlfriend to People in July. “I was really taken with your ‘thereness.’ You were absolutely there. There was no [brushing me off], I knew we had kind of a chemistry from very early on.”
Neeson could be the happy ending that Anderson deserves. She’s walked down the aisle five times: Tommy Lee from 1995-1998, Kid Rock from 2006-2007, Rick Salomon from 2007-2008 and again from 2014-2015, and Dan Hayhurst from 2020-2022. She shares two sons with Lee: Brandon, 29, and Dylan, 27.
Neeson was married to the late Natasha Richardson from 1994-2009. They shared two sons, Michael, 30, and Daniel, 28.
