Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson have recently fueled speculation about their romantic involvement while attending the The Naked Gun premiere. Despite their visible chemistry on the red carpet, a source revealed to Rob Shuter’s #ShuterScoop that the dating rumors between the actors were deliberately orchestrated for publicity related to the film’s release.
Insiders describe staged moments during the film’s premiere event
Though fans saw Anderson and Neeson holding hands and sharing laughs at the New York City premiere, insiders affirm these were carefully arranged moments rather than genuine displays of affection. The same source indicated the actors have not seen each other in over a year and are not involved romantically. Instead, the pair’s on-screen connection was extended outward to create buzz around the movie.
Behind the scenes: separate projects and lack of communication
The source further explained that Liam Neeson has been occupied filming thriller movies in New York, while Pamela Anderson has been working on indie films in Los Angeles. According to this insider, “They don’t even talk.” The source questioned the sudden whirlwind romance narrative, asking,
“But just before the movie drops, we’re expected to believe they’re in some whirlwind romance? Please.”
Publicity strategy acknowledged as common in show business
A representative described the situation by saying,
“It’s not lying — it’s show business.”
The same spokesperson added,
“Audiences want a rom-com on screen and off,”
emphasizing the marketing strategy behind promoting both the film and a love story to captivate viewers.
The Naked Gun’s imminent release and the impact of the rumors
The Naked Gun reboot is scheduled to arrive in theaters across the United States on Friday, August 1. Although the purported romance between Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson has been exposed as a promotional tactic, the buzz generated around their relationship may attract more viewers to the film. This tactic highlights the continued use of celebrity narratives to drive interest in new releases.
