Headlines surrounding Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson lit up during the promo run of their film “the Naked Gun”, but a source says it was a performance. The Neeson and Anderson pairing leaned into chemistry on carpets and in interviews to sell a story. The press tour was for the reboot of “The Naked Gun”, in which they co-starred.
Insiders claim they flirted for cameras, called each other “magnetic,” and fed a fairy-tale narrative. The same source adds that they have not spoken since the press tour ended. Both stars are industry veterans, known for prestige and pop culture, which made the illusion believable.
Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson are embarrassed about their PR stunt
As cited in Rob Shutter’s report, a source said the setup for Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson’s dating rumors during the promotion of “The Naked Gun” was deliberate and tightly managed. “Everyone thought they were falling for each other,” the insider claimed. They added, “But it was all marketing. They sold the fantasy — then went their separate ways.” Another PR source supported the same, saying the moments fans replayed were mapped out to create buzz for the film.
According to the report, the stunt included hand-holding at premieres, playful interviews, and effusive terms like “magnetic” and “inspiring.” “The studio needed buzz, and Pam and Liam gave it to them,” a publicity insider says. The source adds that each beat was designed to create clips and headlines quickly. The strategy worked, but it was never personal.
Now that “The Naked Gun” has cycled out of theaters, both have moved on. A source says they privately cringe at the circus they created. “They’re embarrassed,” the insider admits. “They wish they’d never gone along with it. It worked, but it wasn’t real.” The claim also notes there was no off-camera romance, only coordination.
The influence of the veteran stars over the media is worth noting. Liam Neeson is a decorated Hollywood leading man known for action hits like the “Taken” franchise. Pamela Anderson is a global icon from television and the modelling industry. Their collaborative star power made the pretend sparks pop on cue.
