Liam Neeson had heart eyes for Pamela Anderson from the moment he met her.
Neeson, 73, revealed his first impression of Anderson, 58, when they began working together on The Naked Gun.
“Hot,” the actor mouthed toward the camera during a joint interview with Access Hollywood on the red carpet at the film’s New York City premiere on Monday, July 28.
Anderson chimed in to say that her first impression of Neeson was that “he’s very tall.” The Taken star stands at 6-foot-4, while the Last Showgirl actress is 5-foot-7.
The costars were also asked for one word to describe their hard-to-ignore chemistry.
“It works. That’s two,” Neeson responded, causing Anderson to laugh.
One day after Neeson and Anderson walked the red carpet in the Big Apple, Us Weekly confirmed that they were dating.
The twosome “always had chemistry while they were filming and their friendship naturally developed into more,” a source told Us on Tuesday, July 29.
That chemistry has been apparent throughout their press tour for the action comedy film, in which they play onscreen lovers Lt. Frank Drebin Jr. and Beth Davenport. While promoting The Naked Gun in London on July 22, Anderson planted a kiss on Neeson’s cheek and he wrapped his arm around her.

The source told Us that Anderson and Neeson are “learning how to navigate” their newfound romance in the spotlight, adding, “They are both shy and have tried to stay private but the spark between them is obvious.”
Prior to dating Neeson, Anderson was married and divorced five times. Her most recent marriage was to bodyguard Dan Hayhurst, which lasted from 2020 to 2022. The actress shares sons Brandon and Dylan Lee with ex-husband Tommy Lee.
Neeson was married to Natasha Richardson from 1994 until her death in 2009 following a ski accident. The actor has two sons from his marriage to Natasha, Micheál Richardson and Daniel Neeson.
