Liam Neeson, known for his iconic roles in movies like Taken, recently shared a fun and lighthearted side of himself during a joint interview with PEOPLE. The 73-year-old actor, alongside his co-star Pamela Anderson from the comedy film The Naked Gun, delved into a candid conversation about off-camera antics.
If you happen to catch Neeson on the dance floor when a certain 1990s pop hit plays, you might witness the star indulging in what he refers to as ‘dad dancing.’ Anderson, 58, teased Neeson about his moves to the 1991 hit song ‘I’m Too Sexy’ by Right Said Fred, calling them “sneaky little dance moves” that always embarrass Neeson’s sons, Micheál and Daniel.
Neeson’s comedic side shines through in The Naked Gun, where he portrays L.A. Police Squad Lt. Frank Drebin Jr. In one memorable scene, Neeson’s character dons a schoolgirl outfit while foiling a bank robbery. The actor revealed his initial discomfort with showing off his legs, stemming from his past insecurities during his boxing days: “I hated my legs. Seriously, I hated them.”
During the filming of The Naked Gun in Atlanta, Neeson and Anderson developed a close bond. Neeson praised Anderson for her down-to-earth personality, describing her as sensitive, warm, and beautiful. Anderson, who plays the character Beth Davenport in the film, even surprised Neeson with homemade sourdough bread and cookies, earning praise for her baking skills.
As they embarked on a worldwide press tour for the movie, Neeson and Anderson captivated audiences with their genuine friendship and camaraderie, both on and off the red carpet. Neeson’s chivalrous nature and Anderson’s warmth were evident in their interactions, drawing admiration from fans and media alike.
Anderson previously shared her admiration for Neeson’s gentlemanly demeanor, highlighting how he brings out the best in people. Their on-screen chemistry and off-screen friendship have added an extra layer of charm to the highly anticipated reboot of The Naked Gun, set to hit theaters on August 1.
