Actor Liam Neeson (73) made a surprising move by kissing an actress during a live broadcast.
Neeson appeared on NBC's Today Show on the 29th to promote the action-comedy movie 'Naked Gun,' in which he stars alongside Pamela Anderson (58). Neeson plays the role of Frank Drebin Jr. in 'Naked Gun,' while Anderson portrays his love interest Beth Davenport. Anderson became known as a cover model for the adult magazine Playboy before entering Hollywood, earning the title of a leading 'sex symbol' in the 1990s.
The two showed affection, hugging and kissing each other during the broadcast. This scene was broadcast live through the cameras and garnered attention. Host Craig Melvin expressed surprise and asked whether the two were actually in a romantic relationship. When Melvin asked, 'What's going on? Aren't both of you single? Are you dating?' Neeson replied, 'I had never met Pamela before, and we met on the set of this project. And the two actors discovered a lovely chemistry.'
Neeson added, 'This is great. I just thought, let's let this situation flow naturally, and that's exactly what we did.' In response, Melvin said, 'We are watching a relationship that has just begun to blossom.' He added, 'When the two officially announce their relationship, I hope they come back on this program.'
U.S. entertainment magazine People reported, citing sources, that 'the two began a romance while filming the movie.' The source told the outlet, 'It's clear that they have feelings for each other. They are enjoying their time together.'
The previous day at the 'Naked Gun' premiere in New York, the two walked the red carpet with their respective children. Earlier, on the 22nd, a scene where Anderson kissed Neeson's cheek was captured on the red carpet at the London premiere, drawing attention.
Neeson has two sons from his marriage to Natasha Richardson, who passed away in a skiing accident in 2009. Anderson has been divorced a total of six times and has two sons.
