Liam Neeson Says He Knew Pamela Anderson Was ‘Wonderful’ From the Moment They Met

THE RUNDOWN

• Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson recently began dating, and the couple is currently on a press tour for their film The Naked Gun.
• During a SiriusXM interview, they spoke about their first impressions of each other.
• Neeson praised Anderson’s beauty and personality.

Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson were friends before they started dating, but their first impressions of each other suggest that a spark was always there. The Naked Gun co-stars appeared on SiriusXM’s Radio Andy with Andy Cohen and spoke about their first meeting.

Neeson began, “Well, you know, we had never met before [filming The Naked Gun], 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?”

Anderson had similar praise for Neeson, saying, “Well, I was nervous to meet him, of course, and you’re always nervous the first day on the set, and it was just easygoing and very silly, which puts you at ease and very silly, on and off.”

This is far from Neeson’s first time praising his new partner. During his appearance on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert last night, he called Anderson “great” and “terrific.”

Back in October, he spoke about being smitten with his co-star, who plays his love interest in the film. “With Pamela, first off, I’m madly in love with her,” he told People. “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. She’s going to be terrific in the film.”

Anderson and Neeson recently started dating. On July 29, People broke the news, with a source telling the outlet, “It’s a budding romance in the early stages. It’s sincere, and it’s clear they’re smitten with each other.”

That same day, a source told Us Weekly, “[They] always had chemistry while they were filming, and their friendship naturally developed into more.”
