Pamela Anderson impressed Liam Neeson with her baking
The pair worked together for the first time shooting the action comedy - a revival of the franchise which originally starred Leslie Nielsen - and Pamela, 58, admitted she was nervous when they first met but they forged a close friendship and she was soon bringing him baked good to snack on during breaks.
During a SiriusXM Town Hall event in New York City on Wednesday (30.07.25), Pamela said: "[I was] nervous to meet [Liam], of course and you're always nervous the first day on the set ...
"I brought sourdough bread to Liam and cookies and muffins and kept me busy. Kept me outta trouble ... It's a very special [muffin] recipe. It's very good for you. Let's just say that."
Liam, 73, added that Pamela's sourdough was "phenomenal" and the muffins featured "a lot of bran".
During the event, Liam admitted he was charmed by Pamela from the moment they first met. He said: "Well, you know, we had never met before and I remember thinking: 'Wow, she is gorgeous' but she had this wonderful sense of silliness and just humanity about her.
"I don't want to blow her head up, but it was like I just felt an ease with her, you know, and we discovered a silliness with each other, which was terrific, you know?"
The pair bonded on set and their close relationship has sparked rumours they are more than just friends. A recent report suggested they have been spending time together at Pamela's home in Canada after bonding over her love of gardening and baking.
A source told DailyMail.com: 'Pam is very drawn to Liam because he is totally open to her way of thinking and living, and especially her approach to fame, which is impressive.
"She has been telling friends he is smitten and does a lot of sweet things for her, like sending her flowers, and spending time with her sons and dogs.'
"Pam cooks and gardens at home ... it's wholesome and appealing and very un-Hollywood and Liam loves that. He actually gets involved."

‘Isn't what I would have done': The Naked Gun creator David Zucker reacts to Liam Neeson's reboot
The Naked Gun creator David Zucker has offered his support for the reboot's director Akiva Schaffer, even if the movie 'isn't really what [he] would have done'. The 77-year-old filmmaker helmed the original Leslie Nielsen-starring comedy series, and Zucker is glad to see the new Naked Gun is performing well at the box office - opening with $17 million domestically - and has praised director Schaffer for his work. Zucker told The Hollywood Reporter: 'I'm excited about it because it just shows that there's a strong market for comedy in movie theaters, and spoof in particular. 'People are liking it, which is great. I really like the director, and I just couldn't wish him more well. 'I texted him already, saying, 'I hear the reviews are great, and it's tracking well.' He was very happy to hear from me, and we'll probably get together later in the month when the smoke clears.' Zucker had initially worked on a script for a fourth Naked Gun movie with Pat Proft and Mike McManus - which would have focused on Frank Drebin's (Nielsen) 30-something-year-old son - though Paramount Pictures ultimately chose to move ahead without the original creators for the reboot. As a result of feeling burned, Zucker said he had no plans to watch The Naked Gun in the cinema. He explained: 'I'm not gonna see it, but I don't see any of the sequels that were of my material done by other people, and that's fine. I've told Akiva that I have no intention to see it. 'He actually invited me to come see an early cut of it, but I told him there's nothing I could do to help because it really isn't what I would have done. 'That's not to say that he didn't actually end up doing a good movie. But I don't think I could help with that.' Zucker added he didn't want to be credited as an executive producer for The Naked Gun, even though Paramount had offered him just that. He said: 'I won't take credit on anything that I didn't work on from the beginning. I don't need the money. 'After the agents and managers, it would have paid three electric bills, probably. If it's a big hit, Akiva should get the credit, and he deserves it.' Zucker hopes the success of The Naked Gun will give momentum to his movie that was initially planned to be the fourth Naked Gun film, though is now titled Counterintelijence. However, the director wishes the best for The Naked Gun and is glad producer Seth MacFarlane spoke with him shortly after the reboot's script was finished. Zucker said: 'He spent the first 10 minutes telling me how much he loved Airplane, The Naked Gun and Top Secret. 'I can't get mad at anyone who will tell me what a genius I am. That was a good conversation. I was glad that Seth called, but I told him politely, 'Good luck, but I can't put my name on this.' [But] everything happens for a reason.' In The Naked Gun, rookie detective Frank Drebin Jr. (Liam Neeson) stumbles into his first big case, and a complicated romance with bombshell Vinessa (Pamela Anderson), while trying to stop a criminal conspiracy. Chaos, clueless heroics, and classic slapstick follow in his father's footsteps.

Jamie Lee Curtis tearfully praises Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson
Jamie Lee Curtis has tearfully praised the relationship between Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson. The Naked Gun stars are rumoured to have become romantically involved after meeting on the set of the film, and the Freakier Friday star has called for people to stop speculating about the pair but to just feel happy if they have found love with one another. She told VT in a clip shared to TikTok: 'With all due respect to pop culture, if love has found [its] way into that relationship - God bless them both - leave them the f*** alone. Let them like each other. 'Both of them have had hardship, and they're both beautiful human beings - makes me cry." She grew tearful as she added: "If they actually have found an intimate love with each other, we should all go to bed tonight feeling better.' Jamie thinks her Last Showgirl co-star and Liam - whose wife Natasha Richardson died in a skiing accident in 2009 - both deserve happiness. She said: 'She's a beautiful person. She was fantastic [in the movie], but she's a beautiful human being. 'He also suffered an unimaginable loss so young, and has had a really hard go of it. "So if, in fact, these people have hard launched, then wish them the best and leave them alone.' The Freakier Friday star's comments come after 73-year-old Liam's son Daniel expressed his approval over his dad's new relationship. The 28 year old was in the audience when the pair appeared on Watch What Happens Live over the weekend. Host Andy Cohen told the couple: 'The question that I'm not asking the two of you tonight is what's going on between the two of you, but I do just want to say, as a very old friend of [Liam's], all of your friends are very much stanning this relationship, as the kids say." As Liam put his hand on Pamela's shoulder and she reached to squeeze it, Andy then asked Daniel, who was sitting in the audience: "Right Danny?" Daniel replied: "Yes." On Friday (01.08.25), Pamela shared a series of photos of herself and Liam on Instagram along with the caption: "The Naked Gun is finally in theatres! Bring your friends, family, lovers… whoever… just go and have a laugh… it's good for you! "I'll see you there [white heart and popcorn emojis] (sic)" And Daniel commented with a string of emojis including hands up, fire, and white hearts. Natasha's sister, Joely Richardson, also commented on the post with a string of red heart emojis. Liam - who has Micheal, 30, and Daniel with his late wife - previously confessed to being 'madly in love' with Pamela as he gushed about working with her. He told People magazine: 'With Pamela, first off, I'm madly in love with her. She's just terrific to work with. 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.'

Liam Neeson lashes out at tardy actors
Liam Neeson has hit out at actors who are late to set. The 73-year-old actor revealed he has heard 'disturbing stories' about stars who show up late for filming and insisted he would 'never work with those people'. He told Rolling Stone magazine: 'That's very important. I hear disturbing stories about actors and actresses who are very gifted, but show up on the set two, three, four hours late. I would never work with those people. I think it's so insulting. You have a crew of like 60, 70, 80 people waiting for you. The very least you can do is give them the respect by turning up on time.' Meanwhile, Liam has pivoted to comedy with his new movie Naked Gun and admitted he thinks his action hero days are now behind him. He told Variety: 'The first Taken was 18 years ago, I was 54. Feels like a lifetime ago. I still get offered the occasional one. But I'm 73, for f***'s sake. I don't want to insult audiences if they're watching whole fight scenes and it's not me. I just wouldn't do it. Up until recently, I liked doing my own fight stuff. But I don't want to be doing that stuff with a Zimmer frame or walking stick. Sure, there might be another one out there, but nothing definite on the horizon.' However, there is one genre of movie he will never do. He said: 'I'm a big believer in writers and the script. That's the foundation stone, no matter what the genre. Except horror. I won't do horror.'
