Pamela Anderson<\/a> has shut down critics who’ve dismissed her relationship<\/a> with Naked Gun<\/a> co-star Liam Neeson<\/a> as a simple publicity stunt to drive-up curiosity ahead of the film’s release. <\/p>\n

Anderson, 58, made the comments decrying PR stunts on Friday during her acceptance speech after she was awarded the Deauville Talent Award at the 51st Deauville American Film Festival in France. <\/p>\n

She made clear that she has not, and never will, engage in publicity stunts to promote her work. <\/p>\n

\u201cI do not and will never feed into PR stunts,\u201d she said. \u201cThat would be a death sentence. I\u2019m authentically driven. I\u2019m superstitious when it comes to love. And I\u2019m not comfortable sharing any shred of my romantic life.\u201d<\/p>\n

Anderson continued, saying that she will “fall in love again<\/a> and again on screen” as “that is my job.” <\/p>\n

A source told Page Six<\/a> last month the romance isn\u2019t just for the cameras.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s very sincere how they feel,\u201d the source said. \u201cThat is the truth. They\u2019re not going to show up on the red carpet and be adorable just to be fake, that\u2019s not either of them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Anderson and Neeson star in the newly released film,The Naked Gun<\/a>. Neeson plays the son of Leslie Nielsen\u2019s character Frank Drebin in the comedy spoof reboot that also stars Baywatch actor Anderson as the female lead.<\/p>\n

Rumors have been swirling about a potential romance between the co-stars <\/a>but hit a fever pitch after the film\u2019s London premiere. While posing together on the carpet, Anderson sweetly kissed Neeson\u2019s cheek as the Schindler’s List actor wrapped his arm around her back.<\/p>\n

Speaking Friday of her portrayal of love on screen, Anderson said, “If we do it well, you will feel it, a kind of projection. It is the greatest compliment. So please think positive. And I appreciate your good wishes,” she said. “There are no silly games being played. I\u2019m sincere.\u201d<\/p>\n

US Weekly reported<\/a> in July that the two were growing closer during the filming of The Naked Gun while discussing parenthood. Neeson has two children with his late wife, Natasha Richardson. Anderson has two sons with her ex-husband and legendary rocker Tommy Lee. <\/p>\n

\u201cI had never met Pamela before. We met on set. And we discovered we had a lovely budding chemistry as two actors,\u201d Neeson said during an appearance on Today. \u201cIt was like \u2018Ooo, this is nice, let\u2019s not mold this. Let\u2019s just let it breathe.\u2019 And that\u2019s what we did.\u201d<\/p>\n

Anderson told Entertainment Weekly<\/a> that she and Neeson enjoyed spending time together off the set as well. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe had many dinners out with the cast,” she said. \u201cI invited him and his assistant over for romantic dinners with me and my assistant so our relationship stayed \u2018professionally romantic\u2019 during filming.\u201d <\/p>\n

Anderson also made reference to a project she reportedly was meant to work on with iconic documentarian Werner Herzog<\/a>. The project never materialized, but Anderson isn’t ready to let it die. <\/p>\n

\u201cWherever you are, I\u2019m ready to dive into the end with any of you. It would be an honor and a privilege,\u201d she said, referencing Herzog. <\/p>\n

Herzog recently decided to give Instagram a whirl, launching his official page on the photo sharing app. His first video featured the documentary legend giving a brief introduction while a steak sizzled over a campfire near his feet. <\/p>\n

Anderson’s reemergence into Hollywood appears set to continue; she will have roles in upcoming films include Place to Be, Rosebush Pruning, Alma, and Love is Not the Answer, which will be written by Michael Cera, according to People<\/a>. The Baywatch icon is also set to star opposite Guy Pearce as fugitive lovers in the film Queen of the Falls. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Your support helps us to tell the story From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":118265,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[6491,96,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-118264","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/118264","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=118264"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/118264\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/118265"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=118264"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=118264"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=118264"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
