Neeson, who plays the protagonist in the newest addition of the classic comedy spoof series The Naked Gun, said co-star Anderson was “just terrific to work with”.
“With Pamela, first off,I’m madly in love with her,” the Northern Irish national told People, after establishing a bond during the shoot.
“I can’t compliment her enough, I’ll be honest with you.”
Anderson, 58, of Baywatch fame, said the 72-year-old Oscar nominated actor was “the perfect gentleman” and he brought the best out of her.
Anderson has been married five times, most notably to Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee, from 1995 to 1998.
Lee was sentenced to six months in jail in 1998 after assaulting Anderson while she was holding their infant son.
