Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson certainly left their fans in a tizzy with their instant chemistry off-screen before even appearing together on-screen.
Liam, 73, and Pamela, 58, appeared together at the premiere of the reboot of The Naked Gun franchise in London on July 22, with the film set for an August 1 release in the United States.
Their camaraderie quickly shone through, however, as they were photographed cozying up to each other, with Liam supporting Pamela while she held on to him, and then leaned in to give him a kiss on the cheek.

Lip reader Nicola Hickling, speaking with Spin Genie, decoded some of their conversation, saying that at one point, while the pair pose for photos with Pamela looking up at her co-star, Liam said to her: "I feel like a couple right now."
The Baywatch star deflected by responding: "It's only rain," and shortly after kissed him on the cheek. At one point, when a PA guided Liam over to Pamela, she looked at his expression and asked: "Are you alright?"

A cheery Pamela then replied to him: "Let's just run away," which got a smile out of him. When he commented to her: "I think I'm too old for this," the actress then encouraged him by saying: "No, you're shy, enjoy it," and he sweetly responded: "You're perfect."
Pamela recently spoke with Entertainment Weekly about developing a close bond with Liam while working together on the action comedy, saying: "Our chemistry was clear from the start. We have the utmost respect for one another."

"I also baked my sourdough bread for therapy and regularly shared with him, along with cookies and muffins," she revealed. "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."

"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." Pamela herself added: "He brings out the best in you… with respect, kindness and depth of experience. It was an absolute honor to work with him."
