Liam Neeson 'made first move' on Naked Gun co-star Pamela Anderson

Liam Neeson made the first move on Pamela Anderson.

The 73-year-old actor and his 58-year-old Naked Gun star are believed to have started dating after meeting on set and insiders have revealed that Liam “has been intrigued and smitten [with Pamela] since they started filming and expressed this to her".

And friends believe the pair are well matched, telling Us Weekly: "Pam and Liam are a good match because they have similar personalities and understand each other.

"They balance each other really well. Liam is quiet and introspective, and Pamela brings this fun curiosity that he really enjoys.”

Liam has admitted he was charmed by Pamela from the moment they first met.

During a SiriusXM Town Hall event in New York City, he said: "Well, you know, we had never met before and I remember thinking: 'Wow, she is gorgeous' but she had this wonderful sense of silliness and just humanity about her.

"I don’t want to blow her head up, but it was like I just felt an ease with her, you know, and we discovered a silliness with each other, which was terrific, you know?"
