“The Naked Gun” stars Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson are actually an item!
“It’s a budding romance in the early stages. It’s sincere, and it’s clear they’re smitten with each other,” a source told People Magazine this week.
According to the source, the duo is “enjoying each other’s company.”
Neither Anderson nor Neeson have publicly addressed the speculation that they’re dating, but they have looked awfully cozy during the press tour for the movie.
During the New York premiere Monday night, they took many, many photos together, with Neeson holding his arm around Anderson.
On the Today Show this morning, the two also played into the rumors. During a tease for the show, they pretended to passionately make out, but during the interview the duo played coy when Craig Melvin asked them about recent relationship speculation.
They also took what basically amounts to a family portrait, with Anderson’s sons from ex-husband Tommy Lee, Brandon, 29, and Dylan, 27, and Neeson with his sons, Micheál, 30, and Daniel, 28, with late wife Natasha Richardson.
Check out the other clues we had that they were destined to be our new favorite couple?
#1 The “L” Word Was Getting Thrown Around
Last fall, Neeson told People Magazine he fell “madly in love” with Anderson while working on the movie.
But for clarity, he means professionally. “She’s just terrific to work with,” he told the outlet. “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.”
Anderson also highlighted their connection telling Entertainment Weekly recently, “Our chemistry was clear from the start,” she reveals. “We have the utmost respect for one another.”
She continued, “We had many dinners out with the cast. I invited him and his assistant over for romantic dinners with me and my assistant so our relationship stayed ‘professionally romantic’ during filming.”
#2 Picture Perfect
At the UK premiere for “The Naked Gun,” Anderson gave Neeson a peck on the check, which was of course photographed for all to see.
And while it isn’t out of the realm of just a charming moment, other photos from the event captured Neeson’s hand around Anderson’s waist in a picture, as well as a conversation moment between the two.
#3 Leaving the Scene
This could simply be coincidence and the fact they are essentially on a work trip, but, Anderson and Neeson were spotted leaving the same hotel in London last week.
The Daily Mail had the photos, showing a smiling Anderson and a lowkey Neeson leaving separately but from the same location.
#4 Breaking Bread
In her Entertainment Weekly interview, Anderson revealed that she and Neeson bonded over their shared “love of literature and a good laugh” and that he’s sampled her cooking.
“I also baked my sourdough bread for therapy and regularly shared with him, along with cookies and muffins,” which she would leave in his dressing room.
So, friendly co-stars or secret item? We’ll let you decide.
