Pamela Anderson has saluted her "fantastic" Naked Gun co-star Liam Neeson, telling a new behind-the-scenes video: "You can't help but fall in love with Liam."
Anderson and Neeson's comedy reboot arrives in Irish cinemas on 1 August, when fans will be able to judge the stars' screen chemistry for themselves.
Neeson plays Lt Frank Drebin Jr, taking over the lead role from the late comedy legend Leslie Nielsen, who brought Lt Frank Drebin to bungling life in the 1982 series Police Squad! and the films The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! (1988), The Naked Gun 2½: The Smell of Fear (1991), and Naked Gun 33⅓: The Final Insult (1994).
Anderson plays Neeson's love interest Beth Davenport - and revealed in the behind-the-scenes video that the prospect of working with the Ballymena man was daunting.
"He's had such an incredible career, starting in theatre and just kind of being part of this acting royalty, from Schindler's List and all the other films he's done. So, it was intimidating," Anderson said of her Irish co-star.
"I was afraid to meet him," she admitted. "I was literally shaking the first day I came to rehearse our first scene.
"But once we got going... I mean, he's such a gentleman. He's such a sweetheart, and he's so giving and generous and was so complimentary and supportive."
"You can't help but fall in love with Liam," she smiled.
As for why she chose to star in a Naked Gun movie, Anderson explained: "I've just kind of restarted my career.
"I did Broadway, and then I did The Last Showgirl, and I thought it would be a nice juxtaposition to do a high comedy after doing drama."
"The fact that they even thought of me for this was so exciting," Anderson continued.
"I love the Naked Guns. I thought that they were really funny. They're just such crazy, silly comedies. And I think the world needs that right now."
