Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson worked together earlier this year to film the new version of The Naked Gun.
Pamela Anderson has replied to Liam Neeson’s recent compliments, sharing why she thinks he is “the perfect gentleman” to work with.
Earlier this year, these two famous actors teamed up to film a new version of the classic comedy The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad!, which originally starred Leslie Nielsen in 1988.
It didn’t take long for Neeson, known for Love Actually, to start praising Anderson, saying she is a “terrific” co-star.
Watch the trailer for the original 1988 classic below:
In the new version of The Naked Gun, set to come out in 2025, Liam Neeson will play Drebin Jr., who is probably the son of Frank Drebin from the original movies.
Pamela Anderson’s role hasn’t been officially announced yet, but it’s known that she shares some scenes with Neeson.
He talked about working with the Baywatch star in an interview with People magazine.
Neeson began by saying he’s “madly in love with” Anderson.
The 72-year-old added, “She’s just terrific to work with. I can’t compliment her enough, to be honest.”
He explained that Anderson doesn’t have a big ego and just comes in to get the job done.

He also mentioned that she’s not only easy to work with but also “funny.”
He went on to say, “She’s going to be terrific in the film.”
Anderson has responded to Neeson’s kind words.
She praised him as an actor who “brings out the best in you” with his mix of “respect, kindness, and depth of experience.”
The 57-year-old actress shared that Neeson “sincerely looked after” her, recalling nice moments like when he “wrapped his coat around [her] when [she] was cold,” and she called him “the perfect gentleman.”
She added, “It was an absolute honor to work with him.”
Although Neeson had some doubts about acting in a comedy and wondered if he could “carry it or not,” admitting he “honestly doesn’t know,” Anderson quickly reassured him.
She described Neeson as “humble” and said, “It was hard to keep a straight face in scenes together.”
The new version of The Naked Gun is based on a story created by Seth MacFarlane, and the script was co-written by Akiva Schaffer, Dan Gregor, Doug Mand, Mark Hentemann, and Alec Sulkin.
Schaffer directed the movie, and MacFarlane along with Erica Huggins are producing it.
The Naked Gun is set to be released by Paramount Pictures on August 1, 2025.
