'Liam and I do have chemistry. He's such a sweetheart'

Pamela Anderson on reviving The Naked Gun, learning from Liam Neeson, and trusting her sons' career advice

- 

Pamela Anderson's career renaissance is continuing apace, as she's currently starring alongside Hollywood heavyweight Liam Neeson in the quirky comic franchise reboot The Naked Gun.

A sequel to the original trilogy, Northern Irish star Liam plays Lt Frank Drebin Jr, son of Leslie Nielsen's legendary bumbling lawman, while Baywatch icon Pamela plays Beth, who turns to Frank for help in catching her brother's killer.

Comedy moments aside (one montage involves Liam and Pamela in a threesome with a snowman), it's the smoking chemistry between Liam and Pamela — on and off-screen — that's had everyone talking. The pair have looked undeniably cosy on red carpets, although neither have confirmed or denied any romance. Here, Pamela, 58, talks about her latest role, gushes about working with Liam and reveals how her sons are her greatest supporters and “harshest critics”.

Hi, Pamela... everyone's talking about you and Liam Neeson. How was it working together?

Liam's fantastic. Everyone, I think, is going to fall in love. He's had an incredible career, starting in theatre and being part of acting royalty, starring in Schindler's List and all his other films. So it was intimidating. I was afraid to meet him. I was literally shaking the first day I came to rehearse with him. But he's such a gentleman, such a sweetheart, so giving and generous and so complimentary and supportive that, you know, you can't help but fall in love with him.

The chemistry between you two is fantastic...

We do have chemistry and, you know, off-set, he's silly. He has that little boy sense of humour.
