During the late July press run for The Naked Gun, Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson had the internet in a choke-hold. Slow-motion video montages of the pair set to sappy love songs flooded Instagram and TikTok. In one clip from the July 22 London premiere, Anderson gives Neeson a sweet kiss on his cheek. In another, filmed at a red carpet in Germany on July 24, he gently helps her untangle herself from celebratory streamers as they lock eyes and laugh. The comments were overwhelmingly positive — the world at large was delighted by the duo's obvious chemistry and hoping against hope that the dashing, widowed actor and the unlucky-in-love pop culture icon had finally found their happily ever after with one another.
