Pamela Anderson Rejects Notion that Liam Neeson Romance Is a Stunt: “That Would Be a Death Sentence”

While accepting a lifetime achievement award at the Deauville American Film Festival, Anderson addressed the rumors surrounding her romance with Naked Gun costar Liam Neeson: “There are no silly games being played.”

Earlier this summer, Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson had the public eating out of the palm of their hands when the world believed they were engaged in a whirlwind romance. While neither actor has either confirmed or denied their relationship, sources close to The Naked Gun stars said that the two actors were “smitten” with each other and that they were engaged in a “budding romance.” But in early September, TMZ reported that their alleged romance was nothing more than a PR stunt designed to drive ticket sales for The Naked Gun—and claimed that the two were never actually romantically linked.
