Pamela Anderson ‘Isn’t Ready to Give Up Hope’ on a Future With Liam Neeson After Their Brief Fling (Exclusive)

Pamela Anderson recently insisted that she and Liam Neeson were the real deal despite many believing their relationship was a PR stunt for their film The Naked Gun. Now, a source exclusively tells Star that there’s still affection and attraction between the pair — and she’d take him back in a heartbeat if he wants to give things another shot.

“Pam is such a romantic. She’s making a big show of being independent and going on this media tour, spouting off about how they’re better off as friends, but everyone close to her knows she’s still hoping something more will happen,” the source says. “She’s just gotten a taste of Liam’s infamous hot and cold personality with women so she’s had to retreat.”

The source adds that Neeson, 73, is “infamous for coming on very hot and heavy” and that he “really sweeps women off their feet,” but the intensity doesn’t last long before he’s “turning tail once he’s gotten what he wants.”

“Just look at that story Pam told about him chasing a bear off from their breakfast table wearing nothing but his bathrobe,” the source continued, referring to the story she shared during an interview with People on December 9. “That’s classic Liam. He plays the big protective man to the hilt, but once he’s not in the mood he can go very icy.”

Anderson, 58, and Neeson made headlines earlier this year after their turn in The Naked Gun, and sparks seemed to fly. However, it didn’t last long and the Baywatch alum revealed to People that the two had only had one “intimate week together.”

“Pam has had plenty of men like that in her time, so she’s playing the game and being very relaxed about it all, but that doesn’t mean she’s over this,” the source concludes. “He made all these romantic promises and she’s not ready to give up hope that he’ll come to his senses and come back to her.”
