Pamela Anderson is ready to smoke up the screen with Liam Neeson.
The SAG-nominated starlet, 57, delivered one of her best performances yet with “The Last Showgirl,” and fans have high hopes for the “Naked Gun” reboot — especially after she teased her chemistry with the leading man.
Anderson addressed her latest project and her relationship with Neeson, 72, who will play police detective Frank Drebin opposite Pamela as femme fatale Beth.
The actress shared how she geared up for the slapstick comedy.
“It is the same depth of process for a high comedy as it is for a drama,” she told Entertainment Weekly in an interview published Wednesday. “I worked hard on the role, another cathartic experience. Every film, it seems, tackles a deep-seated issue that needs to be expressed and surfaced in ways other than anything else.”
When asked if she had trouble keeping a straight face while filming alongside Neeson, Anderson teased, “Oh, yes!” adding that they “cracked up a few times” during takes.
She also shared that her strategy for uncontrollable giggles on set was to “play the scenes dramatically and truthfully,” admitting, “The comedy is for the audience, not for us. We are in the moment.”
While Neeson already professed his love for Anderson, confessing in October that he was “madly in love” with the “Baywatch” icon, his infatuation is reciprocated.
Anderson said she and the “Taken” actor hit it off immediately during the audition process.
“Our chemistry was clear from the start,” she spilled. “We have the utmost respect for one another.”
Anderson then rattled off about Neeson’s charm, calling him “mysterious,” “inspiring,” and a “true gentleman.”
She admitted that her co-star is “electric” and “a legend and deserving of the title.”
Anderson continued to woo Neeson off the screen, revealing they both love “literature and a good laugh.” She also tried to impress the actor in the kitchen, telling the outlet she often baked sourdough bread to share with him.
But the two spent time outside of work together, too.
“We had many dinners out with the cast,” Anderson said before confessing, “I invited him and his assistant over for romantic dinners with me and my assistant so our relationship stayed ‘professionally romantic’ during filming.”
The “Baywatch” babe couldn’t say enough positive things about her hunky co-star.
“I am in awe of him, his experience, and work ethic,” she said of Neeson. “I soaked him in like a sponge.”
The actor also gave Anderson glowing reviews after working with her.
“With Pamela, first off, I’m madly in love with her. She’s just terrific to work with,” Neeson told People in October 2024. “I can’t compliment her enough, I’ll be honest with you.”
He continued to sing her praises, adding, “No huge ego. She just comes in to do the work. She’s funny and so easy to work with. She’s going to be terrific in the film.”
When it comes to the reboot, Anderson hopes moviegoers love it.
“We had so much fun making it. I think it’s timely for a beloved comedy like this. I’m a fan of the originals. As Liam says, ‘We could all use a good giggle.’ I pray we do more,” she told EW.
The news that the pair teamed up for “The Naked Gun” remake came out in August.
Neeson is taking over the role of Drebin from the late Leslie Nielsen, who died in 2010 at age 84.
The original film was written and directed by Jerry Zucker, Jim Abrahams and David Zucker. It was based on the short-lived ’80s series “Police Squad,” which only got six episodes.
“The Naked Gun” hits theaters on August 1.
