Actress Pamela Anderson has set the record straight on speculation surrounding her relationship with her “The Naked Gun” co-star, Liam Neeson. While accepting the Deauville 2025 Talent Award at the Deauville American Film Festival on Friday, the 58-year-old actress directly addressed rumors that their bond was a publicity stunt.
During her speech, Anderson told the audience, “I do not and will never feed into PR stunts. That would be a death sentence. I’m authentically driven.”
On Relationships and Privacy
Romance rumors between Anderson and Neeson began this summer while they were promoting their comedy, which was released on August 1. Their public appearances in New York and London fueled whispers of an off-screen connection, with sources insisting their relationship was “genuine” and not manufactured for attention.
On stage, Anderson emphasized her private approach to love, stating, “I’m superstitious when it comes to love. And I’m not comfortable sharing any shred of my romantic life. I know I’ll fall in love again and again on screen—that is my job. If we do it well, you will feel it.”
According to the Daily Mail, the former Baywatch star, whose past marriages to Tommy Lee and Kid Rock were tabloid headlines, added, “I’m here on this journey not for money or fame, but to see what I’m made of in truth, hard work, and to leave behind an honest legacy my family can be proud of.”
The Deauville festival praised Anderson for combining her acting career with philanthropy and advocacy, calling her a figure who has left a “lasting mark on the cultural imagination.” French actress Isabelle Huppert presented her with the award virtually.
