Pamela Anderson: I do not and will never feed into PR stunts

pamela-anderson:-i-do-not-and-will-never-feed-into-pr-stunts




One of the more fun pieces of gossip from this past summer was Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson’s press tour for The Naked Gun reboot. They were very affectionate, and multiple sources claimed that they were dating. They did sexy photoshoots, gave winky-winky interviews, and even had their sons show up on the red carpet to seemingly give their blessings. Everyone was taken by a pairing that wasn’t on anyone’s bingo card, but just made sense.

All of this was great until the Naked Gun PR died down and TMZ suddenly started claiming that their entire relationship was a PR stunt. Since the summer gossip season is basically over, and we haven’t heard from Pam and Liam in a few weeks, I think most people had forgotten about the whole thing. Well, Pam heard the accusations and decided to address them head on. While in France for the Deauville American Film Festival, Pam made it known that she’s authentic and definitely not into “PR stunts.”

“I do not and will never feed into PR stunts,” [Anderson] said, after accepting a special talent award. “That would be a death sentence. I’m authentically driven. I’m superstitious when it comes to love. And I’m not comfortable sharing any shred of my romantic life. For as you can see, it is only built up and torn down in days, weeks, months in a media culture that is quick to judge and ruin it.”

Anderson, the victim of an infamous sex tape leak in the ’90s with ex-husband Tommy Lee, told audiences that becoming a part of pop culture is both a privilege and a curse, as it steals the kind of privacy and mystery that helps an actress transform into a character.

“I know I’ll fall in love again and again on screen. That is my job. If we do it well, you will feel it, a kind of projection. It is the greatest compliment,” Anderson continued in her speech. “So please think positive. And I appreciate your good wishes. There are no silly games being played. I’m sincere.”

Anderson and Neeson, who play a couple in the 2025 action comedy “The Naked Gun,” first drummed up romance speculation when they shared a near-kiss on a red carpet promoting the film, and have appeared cozy since.

“When love, whatever shape it takes or however long it lasts, is innocent, it takes time,” she told audiences. “And love belongs to lovers.”

I don’t believe that it was entirely a PR stunt. I think Pam and Liam genuinely enjoyed each other’s company, and beyond that…who knows? After all, co-stars hooking up with no strings attached is a tale as old as time. And even if it was a PR stunt, who cares? They weren’t hurting anyone. This was so low-stakes. It’s not like Naked Gun is an Oscar contender and Pam and Liam’s chances to win were hinged on an emotional campaign that depended on them finding love together. Maybe they were told to play it up, but they definitely had chemistry. Perhaps they went to dinner a few times and sowed their oats. Either way, there were hot together.

Pamela Anderson & Liam Neeson stand accused of faking their relationship

pamela-anderson-&-liam-neeson-stand-accused-of-faking-their-relationship

Mid-summer, Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson seemed especially friendly and affectionate as they promoted The Naked Gun in multiple cities. “Sources” conveniently confirmed that they were dating, although those sources also made it sound like the relationship was in its early days and it wasn’t super-serious yet. The thing that sold me on their romance was that Pam’s sons came out to at least one premiere, as did Liam’s sons. Natasha Richardson’s family seemingly gave their blessing too. So, I believed that something was happening, although I’ve been around long enough to know that Liam and Pam were playing it up to promote the movie. Well, now TMZ’s sources claim that the whole thing was fake! Even down to Pam’s claims that she baked goodies for Liam during the production. Fake muffins!! Fake bread loaves! Fake romance!

Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson had fans eating up their flirty press tour, but behind the scenes, it was all a PR “bake-off” … TMZ has learned. Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ … the whole “Pam Liam” love fest was cooked up by their PR teams and Paramount — while “The Naked Gun” was still filming in Spring 2024.

In fact, we’re told Pamela and Liam didn’t even see each other from the time cameras stopped rolling in June 2024 until the press tour launched more than a year later, in July 2025.

A big slice of the stunt involved Pamela claiming she was baking muffins and sourdough bread for Liam — something he even played along with in interviews leading up to the premiere. It makes us now assume that was also part of the strategy … pure role-play PR, not reality. Our sources also say Pam and Liam have never had one-on-one dinners. Whenever they did break bread, assistants were at the table … strictly biz, zero romance.

[From TMZ]

This kind of breathless TMZ reporting regarding showbiz fauxmances and studio shenanigans is usually reserved for high-stakes Oscar campaigns, not a comedy which has been in theaters for the past month. Pam is 58 years old, Liam is 73 – both are too mature to agree to these kinds of games as well. Well, obviously, People Mag got a denial:

Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson’s romance is not a publicity stunt, sources tell PEOPLE after reports surfaced claiming otherwise.

“Everything between them has been genuine. Neither would ever take part in a publicity stunt. They have a great time. Neither of them needs the publicity,” a source close to the film tells PEOPLE. Another insider says, “Their relationship isn’t just for show. They have a real connection. There’s no incentive for either of them to stage something like this.”

This comes after TMZ claimed in a report Friday, Aug. 29, that publicists for Anderson, 58, and Neeson, 73, manufactured the relationship for PR timed to the release of their comedy movie The Naked Gun. One source laughs at an allegation from the report that the actors never had a one-on-one date, calling it “ridiculous.”

A source close to The Naked Gun told PEOPLE on July 29 that Neeson and Anderson had “a budding romance in the early stages.”

[From People]

I think what offends me about the TMZ story is the idea that Pam and Liam faked everything, every part of their interactions, and even lied about baked goods. Like… that’s not reasonable gossip. I totally believe that Liam and Pam have chemistry and they’re flirtatious with each other, and maybe they’ve been out to dinner a few times. And whatever was between them was definitely maximized for full effect by the studio publicists. That’s a reasonable take!!

Liam Neeson says his proudest moment is working with Pamela Anderson

liam-neeson-says-his-proudest-moment-is-working-with-pamela-anderson




About a week or so ago, we heard that Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson were dating. They make sense together and have been hamming it up on the red carpet. They even showed up to the Naked Gun premiere with all of their sons! (They have two adult sons each.) Liam is doing his part, too. During a press junket, MTV UK asked Liam what his proudest moment was. His response? Working with Pamela!

Liam Neeson appears quite taken with Pamela Anderson. The two costars of this year’s remake of “The Naked Gun” continued to fuel romance rumors during an interview with MTV UK, posted Thursday on TikTok. The video clip involved a reporter asking the pair questions about one another. The interviewer asked Anderson, “What is Liam’s proudest career moment to date?”

The “Baywatch” star wasn’t sure, noting that Neeson has done “over 100 movies” along with plenty of theater roles.

“I don’t know, what is your proudest moment?” she asked, turning to the “Schindler’s List” star.

Neeson replied in a quiet voice, his expression serious, “Working with you.”

“Working with me? Aw,” Anderson replied. “Taking me under his wing.”

Looking at the camera, Neeson repeated, this time with a smile, “Yeah, working with Pamela.”

Speculation began to swirl last month around Anderson, 58, and Neeson, 73. The Hollywood duo made flirtatious appearances on the red carpet and then the “Today” show, and an anonymous source told “People” that the duo is “smitten” with each other.

Meanwhile, Anderson said in a New York Times profile of the Northern Irish actor that he has “so much charm and so much charisma that you just kind of fall into it,” a quality she said she has “never experienced” before.

[From HuffPo]

”[My proudest moment is] working with you.” LMAO, what a line.That’s very sweet and all, but it’s also super cringe. For the record, I do not think Liam’s response was planned ahead of time. I think Pamela was trying to feed him a real answer, and that’s where his brain took him because, for better or for worse, it was programmed for “Don’t forget to remind people that you’re together” mode. Poor Liam. He tried! I bet the Neeson boys are giving their dad a lot of sh-t for that answer. FWIW, I like this coupling and hope it’s real. Natasha Richardson’s (RIP) family approves. Pam has looked beautiful and happy during this entire tour. She deserves it.

Pamela Anderson & Liam Neeson are dating, ‘it’s a budding romance in the early stages’

pamela-anderson-&-liam-neeson-are-dating,-‘it’s-a-budding-romance-in-the-early-stages’

Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson have been paired together for weeks for the Naked Gun’s international promotional tour. Neeson stars as Frank Dreben Jr. and Pamela plays the love-interest/femme fatale within the story. I love the original Naked Gun movies, and there are so many rave reviews for this reboot of the franchise. Critics say that Liam is truly great and a really gifted comedic actor, and Pamela is wonderful and funny too.

Well, to go along with the rave reviews and the promotional tour, we’re also getting some studio-approved “romance rumors” between Liam and Pamela. At all of the premieres, Liam and Pamela are embracing and looking very friendly. Then on Tuesday, they appeared on the Today Show and they joked around about their relationship and Liam basically said that they know they have chemistry and they’re just letting it “breathe.” Well, People Mag exclusively reports that Liam and Pamela are actually dating:

Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson struck up a romance after making The Naked Gun together. A source close to the movie tells PEOPLE, “It’s a budding romance in the early stages. It’s sincere, and it’s clear they’re smitten with each other.”

Neeson, 73, and Anderson, 58, are currently “enjoying each other’s company,” adds the source, as the costars promote their new comedy, which is in theaters this Friday, Aug. 1.

Reps for Anderson and Neeson could not be reached for comment. At the New York premiere of The Naked Gun on Monday, July 28, both stars brought their two sons to the red carpet for a group photo. (Anderson has Brandon, 29, and Dylan, 27, with ex-husband Tommy Lee, and Neeson has Micheál, 30, and Daniel, 28, with late wife Natasha Richardson.)

[From People]

“A source close to the movie” – I know what you are. I know what they’re doing. And I’m fine with it. They’re both single, they’re both hustling this movie, they’re having fun. No one is being harmed, these are not mean rumors and no one is walking away with a broken heart. Just enjoy it! I enjoy watching two pros work a promotional tour like this.

Are Liam Neeson & Pamela Anderson having a not-so-secret romance?

are-liam-neeson-&-pamela-anderson-having-a-not-so-secret-romance?

Here are some photos from last night’s big premiere of The Naked Gun in London. This is the reboot of the Naked Gun franchise, with Liam Neeson taking over the lead role. Pamela Anderson plays Frank Drebin Jr’s love interest, and they’ve been doing all of the promotion together. They seem to enjoy each other and get along very well. So much so that there are rumors that Liam and Pamela are possibly dating:

On the face of it Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson make for an unlikely couple. He is the 73-year-old Oscar-nominated star of Schindler’s List from Northern Ireland, while she is the 58-year-old former Baywatch babe synonymous with Hollywood glamour.

But having made a reboot of The Naked Gun movies together, Liam said about Pamela: “I’m madly in love with her.”

During their promotion of the comedy — which first hit screens in 1988, starring Leslie Nielsen — the actress took snaps of the smartly suited actor’s crotch, while he pretended to photograph her as she giggled on the floor. The off-screen chemistry went further with Liam planting a gentle kiss on the side of Pamela’s head as he held her waist.

Liam also joked that his favourite part of making The Naked Gun, which opens on August 1, was “the sex scenes”, which the pair were given an intimacy co-ordinator for.

Liam added: “I’d never had one before. But she was in the background. There was no kind of, ‘OK! Excuse me!’.

Pamela chimed in that the co-ordinator knew when to walk away and joked that she stormed off, with Liam claiming she threw her hands up in the air and said, “I can’t take this! This is too hot for me. I’m going for coffee”.

[From The Sun]

I’ve definitely seen worse, less convincing promotional tours built around two actors’ chemistry. Even if Pam and Liam aren’t dating, they seem to genuinely enjoy each other and have a sweet friendship. Their chemistry at last night’s premiere was evident too. What I like most about it is they seem to treat each other gently. He’s a widower, and Pam has had her fair share of toxic men in her life. I would be fine if they got together, but I think this is all just promotional in nature.
