Liam Neeson recently opened up about his experience working with an intimacy coordinator, describing it as somewhat “strange.”
His latest film, The Naked Gun, is set to be released on Friday, August 1. In the movie, Neeson portrays Detective Frank Drebin Jr., while Pamela Anderson takes on the role of Beth.
Recently, there has been chatter in the film industry about Neeson and Anderson, especially as they promote the movie, with some even speculating about a possible off-screen romance. Addressing these rumors, the two were questioned about their relationship status.
Pamela Anderson responded ambiguously, saying, “What? I don’t understand the question.”
Liam Neeson, similarly evasive, mentioned, “I had never met Pamela before. We met on set. And we discovered we had a lovely, budding chemistry — as two actors.”
He added, “It’s like, ‘Oh, this is nice. Let’s not mold this. Let’s just let it breathe.’ And that’s what we did.”
Despite their reportedly strong rapport, the duo still worked with an intimacy coordinator during the filming of The Naked Gun.
In an intense bedroom scene, the coordinator actually had to exit the room when things got too heated, opting to leave for a coffee break.
The same coordinator was present for a scene where Neeson and Anderson filmed a threesome.
Appearing on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Neeson discussed his first experience with an intimacy coordinator.
He described it as “a little bit strange,” adding with a chuckle, “Pamela and I knew what to do.”
The presence of a third party was new for him, though.
Referring to the threesome, Neeson noted, “That had to be specifically choreographed.”
According to PEOPLE, the co-stars might indeed be dating.
“It’s a budding romance in the early stages. It’s sincere, and it’s clear they’re smitten with each other,” a source mentioned to the outlet.
The source further added that Anderson, 58, and Neeson, 73, are relishing each other’s company.
Speculation about their relationship began when Neeson previously confessed to being “madly in love” with Anderson.
In an interview with PEOPLE in October, Neeson said, “With Pamela, first off, I’m madly in love with her. She’s just terrific to work with.”
He continued to praise her, saying, “I can’t compliment her enough, I’ll be honest with you. 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.”
