Anderson also hailed Neeson’s impressive acting career, stating: “He’s a genuine artist. With roots in theater and an iconic film like Schindler’s List, he has starred in over a hundred movies. I’ve approached things somewhat differently, originating from television, and my personal life overshadowed my professional journey. It’s fascinating how we each find our way here, but sharing this experience with him is immensely meaningful and a true honor.”
Confidence Booster

Neeson echoed similar sentiments about Anderson, stating: “Having worked on over a hundred films, it’s rare for me to experience that kind of chemistry. It’s just natural. [Her] presence and [her] approach to life and work made it easy to trust this connection!”
Homemade Treats
Neeson revealed to People at the Naked Gun premiere that Anderson sweetly baked him sourdough bread and cookies while shooting the movie.
“That sourdough bread was exceptional,” he remarked in July 2025. “I appreciate the effort, as I’m not a cook or baker myself. That gesture truly meant a lot.”

“What?” Anderson asked, pretending to not understand. “I’m not sure what you mean.”
“I had never met Pamela prior to this,” Neeson clarified. “We connected on set and found a beautiful chemistry — strictly as actors.”
“Exactly,” Anderson agreed.
Neeson further explained, “It’s like, ‘Let’s not rush this. Let’s allow it to develop naturally.’ And that’s precisely what we did.”
