Pamela Anderson has broken her silence on her reported romance with her Naked Gun co-star Liam Neeson as she opened up on their chemistry both on and off screen.
The Baywatch star returned to the screen in the classic comedy reboot, and it seems as if she quickly became Taken with her Northern Irish counterpart.
While the 73-year-old never remarried after tragically losing his wife, Natasha Richardson, in 2009, he confessed during filming that he had fallen 'madly in love' with Pamela, with their sex scenes reportedly too hot for the intimacy coordinator to witness.
Anderson, who has opened up recently about her rejection of sex symbol status, initially downplayed their relationship as purely professional, saying: "I think I have a friend forever in Liam. And we definitely have a connection that is very sincere, very loving, and he's a good guy.

"I invited him and his assistant over for romantic dinners with me and my assistant so our relationship stayed 'professionally romantic' during filming.
"I'm hoping people love it. We had so much fun making it. I think it's timely for a beloved comedy like this. I'm a fan of the originals. As Liam says, 'We could all use a good giggle.' I pray we do more."
However, it now seems as if the Irishman's charm has worked its magic, and the two now seem to be enjoying some time together.
After a close friend of Neeson's ex-wife granted them his blessing, it looks as if the actors have continued to meet up despite The Naked Gun hitting cinemas at the start of this month.

Neeson previously said of the Canadian-American actress: "I'm madly in love with her. 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."
And now, after nearly a month of romantic rumours, the Baywatch beauty has finally had her say on their relationship, although it seems as if both actors are having some fun by not committing to a label yet.
Speaking to OK! Magazine, the 58-year-old said: "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.
"On set, I don't think we broke too much, but in rehearsals, we'd be playing around and having a bit of a laugh."

It's impressive that both actors were able to keep a straight face during the comedy spoof, considering some of the scenes include a steamy threesome with a snowman, alongside all the classic gags you would expect from the film, which originally starred the brilliant Leslie Nielsen.
A source revealed to the Daily Mail that 'Pam is very drawn to Liam because he is totally open to her way of thinking and living, and especially her approach to fame, which is impressive.'
