Naked Gun is set to hit the screens this week as fans anticipate the undeniable chemistry between lead actors Pamela Anderson <\/a>and Liam Neeson<\/a>, but the rumours of their romance have now hit even closer to home.<\/p>\n

The Hollywood <\/a>duo made an appearance at SiriusXM Studios in Manhattan<\/a> on Wednesday, where late-night TV host Andy Cohen chimed in to share his thoughts on the potential pairing. It just so happens that the presenter was “dear friends” with Neeson’s late wife of 15 years, Natasha Richardson.<\/p>\n

In 2009, the actress tragically lost her life in a skiing accident, leaving behind two sons that she shared with the Naked Gun star. Since then, Neeson has only ever been romantically linked to one person, Freya St. Johnston, in what appeared to be a fleeting relationship.<\/p>\n

The TV host told SiriusXM<\/a> : “I, and all of the friends in this circle, are very much stanning whatever this is. As I was telling him at the premiere party, I go, “Liam, Pamela is an independent woman, just like Tash was. She loves to cook.<\/p>\n

“She has her own thing going on. She has two boys. I mean, this just works, and you know? She is a formidable human being, Pamela Anderson. She really is. Like what she’s been through and how she kind of reclaimed herself and redefined herself.”<\/p>\n

At 58 years old, the ex-Baywatch star has been through quite the transformation in terms of her career in recent years, and playing a part in that was her major movie role just last year. Anderson starred in Gia Coppola’s The Last Showgirl, which landed her a Golden Globe nomination, years since she last appeared on screen.<\/p>\n

While talking to Cohen alongside his new co-star, Neeson quietly held hands with her and even impersonated a kiss on the Today<\/a> show. The Oscar-nominated actor has been single since the ending of his two-year relationship in 2012, and it seems Cohen would agree it’s time for Neeson to find love again.<\/p>\n

On NBC he gushed about their budding romance, saying: “I had never met Pamela before. We met on set. And we discovered we had a lovely budding chemistry as two actors.<\/p>\n

“It was like, “Ooh, this is nice; let’s not mould this. Let’s just let it breathe.” And that’s what we did.”<\/p>\n

Adding to the rumours, Anderson opened up to Entertainment Weekly <\/a>about their connection. She said: “I think I have a friend forever in Liam. We definitely have a connection that is very sincere and very loving. He’s a good guy.”<\/p>\n

In the comedy movie, the ex-Playboy cover girl plays the role of a nightclub singer named Beth, alongside Neeson, who stars as Lieutenant Frank Drebin Jr. The film, launching this Friday, sees Anderson’s second major leading role since her career resurgence of the 2020s, and fans are more than here for it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson starred alongside each other in a new movie that’s sparked major romance rumours,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":36075,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[6491,96,7521,21158,7522,3245,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-36074","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-liam-neeson","tag-natasha-richardson","tag-pamela-anderson","tag-romance","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36074","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=36074"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36074\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/36075"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=36074"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=36074"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=36074"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
