Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson’s budding romance was not on anyone’s bingo card for 2025.
And yet, their loved-up public appearances and sweet words for each other hint at a deep connection between the two, which has only been growing since they starred in The Naked Gun together.
Show of support
Speculation surrounding their ‘relationship’ only grew after Liam was seen supporting Pamela from the audience for her final performance of Camino Real in Massachusetts.
The actress has been portraying Marguerite Gaultier in the play, written by theatre legend Tennessee Williams, since July 17 for the Williamstown Theatre Festival.
This marks her first stage performance since she joined the Broadway cast of Chicago as Roxie Hart in 2022. Liam and his son watched Pamela’s emotional final performance from the audience, according to People.

The Irish actor plays Frank’s son, a detective tasked with investigating the death of a tech programmer. Pamela plays his love interest, Beth. The 58-year-old shared with EW that they kept things “professionally romantic” while filming, adding that she would often invite Liam and his assistant to dine with her and her assistant.
She told the publication that he was a “very sincere, very loving” and “good guy”, before going on to say that she had a “friend forever in Liam”.

Pamela and Liam have spent the press tour lavishing praise upon each other. Liam told People that he was “madly in love with her” and pointed out her incredible work ethic.
“She’s just terrific to work with,” he said. “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.”

When asked directly by Todayshow host Craig Melvin whether they were an item, Liam replied coyly: “I had never met Pamela before. We met on set. And we discovered we had a lovely budding chemistry as two actors.”
“It was like ‘Ooo, this is nice, let’s not mold this. Let’s just let it breathe.‘ And that’s what we did,” he added.
Second chances
