Liam Neeson is dating his The Naked Gun co-star Pamela Anderson, according to reports. Neeson’s romance with Anderson marks the 73-year-old actor’s highest-profile relationship since the tragic death of his wife Natasha Richardson in 2009.
In 2009, Neeson’s wife, actress Natasha Richardson, whom he married in 1994, died after sufering a head injury during a ski accident in Canada.
A year after her death, Neeson began dating PR executive Freya St. Johnston, with their relationship lasting two years until 2012. Since then, however, Neeson has been single, with the acclaimed actor even saying he was done dating: “I’m past all that.”
Now, however, Neeson appears to be in a relationship with 58 year old Pamela Anderson after starring alongside her in the upcoming The Naked Gun sequel.
Liam Neeson reportedly dating The Naked Gun co-star Pamela Anderson, is “smitten” with her
“A source close to the movie tells PEOPLE, ‘It’s a budding romance in the early stages. It’s sincere, and it’s clear they’re smitten with each other.'”
“Neeson, 73, and Anderson, 58, are currently ‘enjoying each other’s company,’ adds the source, as the costars promote their new comedy, which is in theaters this Friday, Aug. 1.”
The Naked Gun, which hits theaters on Friday, August 1 and was directed by The Lonely Island’s Akiva Schaffer, also stars Pamela Anderson, Paul Walter Hauser, Kevin Durand, and Danny Huston, and has bee earning rave reviews following its premiere earlier this week.
The film marks another massive step in Pamela Anderson’s career renaissance following her acclaimed turn in the 2024 film The Last Showgirl, which earned her awards consideration across Hollywood. Anderson is also attached to the films Rosebush Pruning and Place To Be.
As for Neeson, The Naked Gun is shaping up to be his biggest mainstream hit since having a brief role in Men in Black: International (which was a bomb, so that barely even counts) — as he’s spent the 2020s basically only making B-movie action films such as Honest Thief, The Marksman, The Ice Road, Blacklight, Memory, Retribution, In the Land of Saints and Sinners, Wildcat, Absolution, and Ice Road: Vengeance.
