Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson teamed up to film the upcoming reboot of The Naked Gun earlier this year.
Pamela Anderson has responded to Liam Neeson's recent compliments, explaining why she considers him 'the perfect gentleman' to work with.
Earlier this year, these two iconic actors joined forces for the filming of a reboot of the beloved cop comedy The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad!—a classic originally starring Leslie Nielsen back in 1988.
It didn’t take long for Love Actually star Neeson to start singing Anderson’s praises, sharing just how ‘terrific’ she is as a co-star.
Watch the trailer for the original 1988 classic below:
In this new installment, The Naked Gun—expected to release in 2025—Neeson steps into the role of Drebin Jr., who is likely the son of Frank Drebin from the original.
Anderson’s role is yet to be officially announced, but we know she shares a few scenes with Neeson.
He discussed working with the Baywatch star in an interview with People magazine.
Neeson started by saying he’s 'madly in love with' Anderson.
The 72-year-old went on to say: "She's just terrific to work with. I can't compliment her enough, I'll be honest with you."
He explained that Anderson has ‘no huge ego’ and simply ‘comes in to do the work.’
He added that she’s not only easy to work with but also ‘funny.’
He continued, saying: "She's going to be terrific in the film."
Anderson has since responded to Neeson’s kind words.
She praised Neeson as an actor who ‘brings out the best in you’ with a blend of ‘respect, kindness, and depth of experience.’
The 57-year-old actress shared that Neeson ‘sincerely looked after’ her, recalling sweet gestures like how he ‘wrapped his coat around [her] when [she] was cold,’ calling him ‘the perfect gentleman.’
She added: "It was an absolute honor to work with him."
While Neeson had his reservations about starring in a comedy, wondering if he could ‘carry it or not,’ admitting he ‘honestly do[esn’t] know,’ Anderson was quick to offer some reassurance.
The actress described Neeson as ‘humble’ and shared: "It was hard to keep a straight face in scenes together."
The reboot is based on a story developed by Seth MacFarlane, with the screenplay co-written by Akiva Schaffer, Dan Gregor, Doug Mand, Mark Hentemann, and Alec Sulkin.
Schaffer directed the film, while MacFarlane and Erica Huggins took on producing roles.
The Naked Gun is currently scheduled for release by Paramount Pictures on August 1, 2025.
