Pamela Anderson says she has a ‘friend forever' in ‘Naked Gun' costar Liam Neeson
Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson are not just costars, they are also friends forever.
The two actors grew close while filming the upcoming 'Naked Gun' reboot, Anderson said in an interview with Entertainment Weekly published Tuesday.
'I think I have a friend forever in Liam, and we definitely have a connection that is very sincere, very loving, and he's a good guy,' she said.
Anderson went on to gush about Neeson's work as a veteran actor, characterizing him as a 'true artist.'
'He comes from theater and 'Schindler's List' and has done over a hundred films. And I did things inside out and backwards, came from television, and then my personal life kind of overshadowed my professional life,' she said. 'It is funny: We all come to this place in different ways, but to be able to share this experience with him is very meaningful and such an honor.'
Neeson shares the same admiration for Anderson, made clear when he told People magazine in an interview last year that he is 'madly in love with her.'
'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. She's going to be terrific in the film.'
The two actors costar in the upcoming reboot of the satirical comedy 'Naked Gun,' with Neeson playing the role of Frank Drebin Jr., originated by the late Leslie Nielsen. Anderson plays Beth, who was previously played by Priscilla Presley.
Neilson and Presley starred alongside each other in three 'Naked Gun' films in 1988, 1991 and 1994.
The new 'Naked Gun' will be in theaters on August 1.

‘Somebody's going to get shot': Police warn of dangerous ‘Kool-Aid Man' TikTok trend
The Kool-Aid man poses in the Kool-Aid lounge during the after party for "Spy Kids: All The Time In The World 4D" Los Angeles premiere, July 31, 2011 in Los Angeles, California. Calera police are warning residents about a dangerous TikTok trend that could potentially lead to fatal consequences under Alabama's stand-your-ground law. Mimicking the sugary drink mascot's tendency to smash through walls, the'Kool-Aid Challenge" sees participants, often children or teens, kick in or run through doors and fences. Corey Allen Jemison, a father of three, expressed his concern, saying, 'To be honest with you, I'm going to shoot you. If you kick in my door where my kids lay their head and I lay my head and it's my job to protect them and anything that's around them, I'm going to shoot you.' Calera Police Chief David Hyche emphasized the seriousness of the situation, stating, 'This isn't the old days where you ring the doorbell and run away, kids used to do that back when I was young. This is breaking down somebody's door basically.' He added, 'Under Alabama law, if somebody breaks into your house and you believe that you or your family is in imminent danger, you're authorized to use deadly force and we don't want to see a kid get killed.' Jemison urged young people to find safer activities, saying, 'Find something constructive to do with your time besides doing stupid stuff kicking in doors and playing with your life cause that's basically what you're doing.'

Kevin Jonas reveals he almost went broke after the Jonas Brothers split
To borrow a title from one of their most successful songs, Kevin Jonas is now 'Sucker.' (Stephen Lovekin/Shutterstock via CNN Newsource) To borrow a title from one of their most successful songs, Kevin Jonas is 'Only Human.' But the eldest member of the Jonas Brothers revealed he has made some poor financial decisions in the past and talked about it on a recent episode of 'The School of Greatness' podcast. Jonas shared that he's 'seen the beginning of success,' including 'not knowing what money really was and understanding it,' as well as 'losing almost all of it.' Explaining he couldn't get into too many details, Jonas said about nine years ago and was down to his last ten percent of money. 'I invested in a bunch of property and doing other things and I was building at the time,' Jonas explained. 'Sadly, it wasn't the right partnership, if you know what I'm saying?' He said he's learned from it. 'Thankfully for life in general, like we have a second shot and bite at the apple with the band coming back together,' Jonas continued. 'It actually was kind of fortuitous in a way. Like, I learned this lesson - never wanted to learn it, but I did- but then at the same time reevaluated how to approach life from that perspective and looking to the future.' The Jonas Brothers, made up of siblings Kevin, Joe and Nick, split in 2013 before reuniting in 2019. They will be celebrating their 20th anniversary with the 'Jonas20: Living the Dream' tour that kicks off in their native New Jersey in August. By Lisa Respers France, CNN
