Hollywood was set abuzz on Tuesday night as veteran actor Liam Neeson and former Baywatch star Pamela Anderson stole the spotlight with a rare public display of affection at the highly anticipated premiere of The Naked Gun. The event, held at the TCL Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles, attracted top Hollywood celebrities, but it was Neeson and Anderson’s affectionate appearance that sent fans and the media into a frenzy.
The pair, who have been romantically linked for several months, arrived hand in hand, posing for the cameras and exchanging warm smiles and laughter. Anderson, 58, stunned in a sleek, figure-hugging black gown with a high slit, while Neeson, 73, looked dapper in a classic tailored suit with a black tie. The two were seen whispering to each other, laughing, and even sharing a sweet kiss before entering the theatre—a moment that quickly went viral across social media platforms.
While the duo has yet to officially confirm their relationship, their red-carpet chemistry seemed to speak louder than words. Fans have speculated about their closeness since they were first spotted dining together in Malibu earlier this year. Several entertainment insiders have hinted at their growing bond, describing them as “unexpected but refreshingly genuine.”
According to sources close to the pair, Neeson and Anderson bonded over shared philanthropic interests. Both have been active in humanitarian causes, with Anderson deeply involved in animal rights advocacy and Neeson known for his charitable work with UNICEF and various children’s organizations.
The event marked the premiere of The Naked Gun, the reboot of the beloved slapstick comedy franchise originally headlined by the late Leslie Nielsen. Neeson plays Detective Frank Drebin, the iconic role once portrayed by Nielsen, and early reviews have praised his comedic timing, a surprising shift from his usual action-thriller persona.
Anderson, though not part of the cast, was reportedly invited as Neeson’s special guest. The film also stars Paul Walter Hauser and Aubrey Plaza, who were present at the premiere, alongside producer Seth MacFarlane, who promised that the film would stay true to the franchise’s absurd, over-the-top humor.
Social media platforms erupted with reactions to Neeson and Anderson’s public appearance. While some expressed surprise at their budding romance, many fans praised the couple, calling them “the most unexpected but adorable pair of 2025.”
Though neither has commented publicly on their relationship status, insiders suggest that Neeson and Anderson are taking things slowly. With The Naked Gun expected to be a box-office hit, more joint appearances are likely to follow, keeping fans and tabloids on their toes.
