These “Naked Gun” stars are looking for romantic clues!
Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson are “figuring things out” as their off-screen relationship blossoms, a source tells Page Six.
The source adds that Anderson has been quietly crushing on her “The Naked Gun” co-star since before cameras even started rolling on the new film.
“Getting close to him has been on her mind since she was cast,” says the source. ” “He’s f–king Liam Neeson. She has always found him attractive and interesting.”
We hear that the pair are in the very beginning stages of their relationship.
“What is happening? Even they may not know,” says the source. “They are figuring things out along the way. It’s fun to watch.”
“Pamela is a romantic,” the source said.
The press tour for their comedy film has only fueled fan speculation, with flirty moments and red carpet chemistry.
The pair flirted on NBC’s “Today” show this week, including a cheeky bit in which they pretended to get caught making out on camera.
During a red carpet appearance at the London premiere last week, Anderson planted a kiss on Neeson’s cheek.
Neeson told People magazine last year, “First off, I’m madly in love with [Pamela]. She’s just terrific to work with. 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.”
Anderson in return called Neeson, 73, “the perfect gentleman.”
She continued, “He brings out the best in you… with respect, kindness and depth of experience. It was an absolute honor to work with him.”
She also told Entertainment Weekly back in May, “Our chemistry was clear from the start. We have the utmost respect for one another.”
The “Baywatch” star also revealed that she had Neeson over for dinner during filming, but kept things professional.
“We had many dinners out with the cast,” she said. “I invited him and his assistant over for romantic dinners with me and my assistant so our relationship stayed ‘professionally romantic’ during filming.”
Anderson, 58, also said she left home baked cookies and muffins in the “Taken” star’s dressing room.
A source told People: “It’s a budding romance in the early stages. It’s sincere, and it’s clear they’re smitten with each other.”
