And I don\u2019t want to say I knew the whole time, but\u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn fact, we\u2019re told Pamela and Liam didn\u2019t even see each other from the time cameras stopped rolling in June 2024 until the press tour launched more than a year later, in July 2025,\u201d <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tmz.com\/2025\/08\/29\/pamela-anderson-liam-neeson-fake-relationship\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:the tabloid wrote;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">the tabloid wrote<\/a>, adding that a source said the whole story was pushed by their PR teams and Paramount.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">I\u2019ll admit, in July, when another source close to the production of The Naked Gun reboot told <i>People<\/i> that the two had \u201ca budding romance in the early stages,\u201d\u00a0I was all ears.\u00a0\u201cIt\u2019s sincere, and it\u2019s clear they\u2019re smitten with each other.\u201d But if we\u2019ve learned anything, it\u2019s that \u201ca source close to the production\u201d is code for LIES.\u00a0And THIS IS FOR PR PURPOSES ONLY.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"link \" href=\"https:\/\/www.jezebel.com\/articles\/home\/most-read\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Most Popular;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\"> Most Popular<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Still, I gave them the benefit of the doubt, despite my suspicions, since the thought of two industry veterans finding love in their old age was sweet. Their kids are about the same age, and, at the New York premiere, they photographed well as a big, happy blended family. Anderson even planted a very PG kiss on Neeson\u2019s cheek on the red carpet in London.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">They always spoke fondly of one another, too. In October 2024, Neeson <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/people.com\/pamela-anderson-and-liam-neeson-are-dating-exclusive-11781066\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:jokingly declared;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">jokingly declared<\/a> he was \u201cmadly in love with her.\u201d Meanwhile, Pamela said she would \u201calways have a friend in Liam.\u201d Which was\u2026a little different from Neeson\u2019s quote. In hindsight\u2014but also, even at the time\u2014it was giving major coworker vibes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Still, the stunt appeared to work. <i>The Naked Gun<\/i>\u00a0raked in $16 million <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.boxofficemojo.com\/release\/rl3528753153\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:opening weekend;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">opening weekend<\/a> and has since climbed to around $88 million worldwide. With a $45 million budget\u2014and considering how comedies usually flatline in theaters\u2014the film can be deemed a success. Yes, faking a relationship is hard work, but so is getting people to go to the movies.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Also, I\u2019ll just say it: Pamela deserves better. Or at least, she deserves someone who doesn\u2019t have a history of questionable comments, <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/entertainment-arts-47117177\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:including;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">including<\/a> notoriously admitting he once wanted to commit a racist revenge attack after a friend was raped: \u201cMy immediate reaction was\u2026I asked, did she know who it was?
