Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson's New Friendship on 'The Naked Gun' Set

Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson, stars of the "The Naked Gun" film reboot, have formed a deep mutual admiration and respect during filming. With Anderson playing a "femme fatale" and Neeson stepping into the role of Frank Drebin Jr., both actors were impressed by each other's professionalism and talents, PEOPLE reported.

Neeson, at 72, praises Anderson, age 57, ardently expressing his pleasure in working with her, saying he "can't compliment her enough." Admiring her lack of ego, he notes Anderson's humor and work ethic, expecting her to shine in their comedy. Despite expressing uncertainty in his own comedic lead abilities, Anderson finds him both humble and gentlemanly, noting the ease and lightness in sharing scenes with him.

Their rapport wasn't all business – Neeson took great care of Anderson on set, ensuring her comfort, while she baked treats for him as gestures of friendship. Neeson, who sought this role after discussions with producer Seth MacFarlane, has maintained a sense of whimsy looking back on the original movies, describing them as "a good giggle."

Known for transforming into an action hero after 2009's "Taken," Neeson, before stepping back from the genre in 2025, further showcases his diverse talents with projects like the film "Absolution," releasing November 1. He depicts a former boxer wrangling with personal redemption and traces of aggression in this gritty drama. On screen and off, both he and Anderson demonstrate being not just strong leads, but exemplary costars as well.
