Buzz began about the two Hollywood legends earlier this summer as they kicked off The Naked Gun press tour. While they play love interests in the movie, their chemistry while not in character had fans speculating whether there was more going on between them.

The day before news broke that Neeson and Anderson were in fact more than just costars with killer chemistry, the Baywatch alumna looked up with stars in her eyes at the Oscar nominee. And it stands to reason: When Access Hollywood asked about their first impressions of each other, Anderson declared he was “very tall,” while Neeson arched an eyebrow and mouthed, “hot.”

When the tour took them overseas to Berlin on July 24, Anderson was all decked out in her Old Hollywood glam as Neeson looked over at her with a smitten smile on his face.

During a press shoot for their film, Anderson smiled up at Neeson as he rested his hands on her shoulders.
Speaking to PEOPLE in October 2024, Neeson had praise for his costar that possibly foreshadowed their future connection. “With Pamela, first off, I’m madly in love with her. She’s just terrific to work with,” he said at the time. “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.”

The two took it to the next level during their appearance on the Today show on July 29 when they pretended to make out — and played coy when asked directly by co-host Craig Melvin if the two were “an item.”
“What?! I don’t understand the question,” Anderson replied, before Neeson chimed in with a playfully chiding “Craig, Craig.”

At the July 28 premiere in New York City, Neeson and Anderson were joined by their sons: Dylan Jagger Lee and Brandon Thomas Lee, whom Anderson shares with ex Tommy Lee, and Daniel Neeson and Micheál Neeson, whom he shares with his late wife Natasha Richardson — so they’ve already gotten the whole “meeting the family” thing out of the way!
