During an interview with People Magazine for a November 2024 cover story about him, Neeson said he was “madly in love” with Anderson.
“With Pamela, first off, I'm madly in love with her. She's just terrific to work with,” Neeson told the publication. “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,” Neeson continued.
In that same interview, Anderson called Neeson “the perfect gentleman.”
“He brings out the best in you… with respect, kindness and depth of experience. It was an absolute honor to work with him,” she told the publication.

Apparently Anderson “made him bread and cookies and left them for him in his dressing room,” the article says, while Neeson wrapped his coat around her when she was cold.

The pair’s apparent flirting on the red carpet in London was all the evidence online sleuths needed to confirm earlier suspicions.
“Think this is great. She is absolutely beautiful and he has been through alot [sic].
“Kudos to them,” one person said.
Other people wished them well, even if they haven’t formally come out as a couple, while others said they looked cute together and well suited for each other.
With the current zeitgeist revolving around the apparent affair at a concert in Boston, someone said: “Here comes the Coldplay kiss-cam.”
“He’s larger than life”: The film’s producer Seth MacFarlane explains why he cast Neeson

Anderson and Neeson are filling big shoes once occupied by Leslie Nielsen and Priscilla Presley in the original three movies — 1988's The N*ked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad!, 1991's The N*ked Gun 2 1/2: The Smell of Fear, and 1994's N*ked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult.
Now, 30 years after the final installment, Neeson plays Los Angeles Police Squad detective Frank Drebin Jr., the son of the bumbling lieutenant made famous by Nielsen.
Casting Neeson in the role of Drebin might seem like an odd choice, as the no-nonsense Irish actor is known for his serious roles.

But the film’s producer Seth MacFarlane, creator of Family Guy and American Dad!, said in an interview with Entertainment Weekly that Neeson was in fact the perfect person to play Drebin.
And not just because Liam Neeson and Leslie Nielsen’s names sound so similar.

"Liam Neeson is probably the only actor alive in the 21st century who could do what Leslie Nielsen did, largely because that kind of actor is not something that we're really generating a lot of in Hollywood anymore," MacFarlane told the publication.
"[He's] larger than life on screen and yet so honest, two things that don't always mesh, but he's really able to be that kind of an on-camera powerhouse," MacFarlane continued.

Anderson, meanwhile, plays a lounge singer trying to avenge the death of her brother.
She’s in the midst of a career resurgence after gaining fame in the ’90s as a Playboy model and star of the TV show Baywatch about lifeguards in California.
She recently earned Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild Awards nominations for her role as an aging Las Vegas showgirl in Gia Coppola’s film The Last Showgirl.
In the same Entertainment Weekly interview, Anderson said that she had thought her acting career was over.
"I was a little bit disappointed in myself a few years back when I thought, I guess that's all there is," she admits.
"But after I [played Roxie Hart in Chicago on Broadway in 2022], I thought, Okay, from Baywatch to Broadway, I can live with that. I'll go into my garden, I'll make pickles and jams, and help my elderly parents, and that's okay. This is still a beautiful life," she is quoted as saying.
Netizens are more certain than ever that Pam Anderson and Liam Neeson are dating
