‘Smitten' Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson are dating after striking up romance on ‘Naked Gun' set: report
Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson are officially dating after striking up a romance on the set of their new movie, 'The Naked Gun.'
'It's a budding romance in the early stages,' a source told People on Tuesday. 'It's clear they're smitten with each other.'
The source claimed that the 'Taken' actor, 73, and the 'Baywatch' alum, 58, are currently 'enjoying each other's company' as they promote their new comedy.
Page Six has reached out to reps for Neeson and Anderson for comment.
On Monday, both Anderson and Neeson brought their respective sons to the New York City red carpet premiere of 'The Naked Gun.'
The Oscar nominee — who is a dad to Micheál Richardson, 30, and Daniel Neeson, 28, with his late wife, Natasha Richardson — kept his arm around the waist of the former Playboy Playmate of the Month, who shares Dylan Jagger Lee, 27, and Brandon Thomas Lee, 29, with ex-husband Tommy Lee.
For the family outing, Liam rocked a gray suit while Anderson, who went makeup-free, stunned in a satin blue gown with sheer black gloves.
Though the pair initially played coy about their relationship status on Tuesday's episode of the 'Today' show, the 'Schindler's List' actor said he and Anderson 'have a lovely budding chemistry.'
'[We decided], 'This is nice, let's not mull this, let's just let it breathe.' So that's what we did,' Liam shared.
'We're both silly. We discovered a silly bone in each other,' he gushed. 'It was great to be with this lady, seriously. Every day was a joy.'
Anderson and Liam sparked dating rumors last week when the blond beauty was seen giving her co-star a peck on the cheek during the London premiere of the film.
Last October, Liam declared that he became 'madly in love' with Anderson during their time on set.
Liam's late wife, Richardson, died in 2009 from an epidural hematoma after accidentally hitting her head while skiing. Last year, he proclaimed that he was done dating.
Meanwhile, in 2022, Anderson filed for divorce for a fifth time from her then-husband, Dan Hayhurst. She was also previously married to Tommy Lee, Rick Salomon and Kid Rock.

Christie Brinkley and daughter had same matches on dating apps
Christie Brinkley and her daughter matched with the same men on dating apps. The 71-year-old model - who has son Jack, 30, with third ex-husband Richard Taubman and daughter Sailor, 27, with fourth ex-spouse Peter Cook - told how her youngest child helped her set up a profile to find a potential partner but was shocked to find they were being paired with the same people. Speaking to Kristin Davis on her Are You a Charlotte? podcast, Christie said: 'She wanted to see what kind of guys [would match] … and she put me up there … and she said, 'Mom, you're right not to go on it, because the same guys that said yes to me, are saying yes to you.' " Kristin replied: 'Smart Sailor, that is a really fascinating little experiment." Christie speculated on the type of guys who were matching with both her and Sailor, suggesting they were just looking for a woman who would be "impressed" by their choices. She said: 'I find that what men like to do is to find somebody that'll be impressed by every little thing that they do. Like, 'Oh really, oh, you're taking me to that restaurant.'' Kristin, 60, is fascinated by the modern dating world and wants to learn more, even though she is "kind of scared" about the process of finding a partner. She said: 'I'm kind of scared and awed by the whole situation that has kind of evolved in the dating world. And I don't understand it, but I would like to understand it better.' Christie previously spoke about how Sailor, who is also a model, has helped boost her confidence after she appeared in the 60th anniversary edition of Sports Illustrated's famous Swimsuit issue. She told People magazine: "Sailor is very strong and, you know, she has very strong opinions about feeling good about yourself because she's gone through strong feelings, not feeling good about herself. "So, she's really into empowering herself to feel confident and good. And she'll say to me if ever I, I'm doubtful and I go, 'I don't know, you know, is this like...?' She's like, 'Mom, you're beautiful, embrace it, you know, go with it, lean into it.' And I'm like, 'Ok, I shall try.'"

Shanna Moakler to judge Playboy's new Playmate of the Month competition
Playboy is relaunching its Playmate of the Month competition, with Shanna Moakler among the judges. The men's magazine – which was founded in 1953 by Hugh Hefner – is continuing its comeback with a new Playmate competition and TV show, months after returning to print with an annual February issue. Page Six reports that The Great Playmate Search will be an online competition with an initial round of public voting, followed by a final round with a judging panel made up of former Playboy models. Moakler, Summer Altice, Brandee Roderick, Daphnee Duplaix, and 2025 Playmate of the Year Gillian Nation are all set to join the panel. A behind-the-scenes TV series has also been pitched to networks. Playboy previously had TV success with the reality series The Girls Next Door, which aired from 2005 to 2010, although the new series has been compared to Netflix' Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders. Stars including Marilyn Monroe, Pamela Anderson, Drew Barrymore, Kim Kardashian, Madonna, Lindsay Lohan, Sharon Stone, Carmen Electra, Anna Nicole Smith, Farrah Fawcett, and Jenny McCarthy have previously graced the covers of Playboy magazine. Hefner passed away in 2017 at the age of 91 and the magazine stopped printing in 2020, before returning in 2025 with its first annual issue. Last year, the board rejected a $100 million bid from Hefner's son, Cooper, to buy the company.

‘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.
