Pamela Anderson says she was 'nervous' to meet Liam Neeson amid romance rumours

Pamela Anderson has admitted that she was 'very nervous' to meet Liam Neeson on set of The Naked Gun.

The Baywatch legend, 58, has had a major career revival in recent years and recently enjoyed a star turn in The Last Showgirl but now she is back on-screen alongside fellow A-lister Liam in the upcoming action comedy, admitted amid romance rumours that she had assumed he was 'very scary' before they actually worked together.

During an appearance on Monday's Loose Women in a pre-recorded segment with panelist GK Barry, she explained: "Your nerves are always going before you meet an entire crew and everybody all at once but especially meeting Liam. It was really scary, because he's so scary. He's had an amazing career and I feel like I'm just starting so I felt a little insecure. But then the butterflies went away and there you are."

But in the end, Pamela and Liam were able to bond simply by spending 'so much time' together during production, and insisted that there was a "a kind of natural chemistry that happened, I don't know if it always happens but we were lucky". Liam revealed that his co-star would often bake for him, as he explained during the joint interview: "Pamela is a fantastic cook, she's a baker, and she, very sweetly, numerous times made me some sourdough bread."

However, GK stopped the interview momentarily to note her surprise at the model's self-conscious nature as she reminded her: "You are Pamela Anderson...". But the actress was quick to note that she isn't fond of hearing her full moniker, as she claimed: "I don't like that name. Every time I hear that name I go...no, sometimes, it just sounds funny."

Pamela, who was famously married to Motley Crue rocker Tommy Lee in the 1990s and has sons Brandon 29, and Dylan, 27, with him also admitted that it was just 'nice to play a role in a film' as opposed to her 'a role in personal life' but insisted that amid this period of her career, she is doing things on her terms. She said: "I'm just doing it my own way. I'm not listening to too much of the advice of others because I don't know what my next incarnation will be or what I want to be but I just feel more comfortable this way right now. But it could change tomorrow, we could change our mind!"

Liam recently joked that filming the 'sex scenes' with Pamela was his favourite part of filming the latest instalment. He also commented on having an intimacy coordinator on set. "I'd never had one before. But she was in the background. There was no kind of, 'OK! Excuse me!'," he said. Pamela, who plays a nightclub singer who goes to Police Squad for help after her brother is murdered, said the intimacy coordinator knew when to walk away.

She joked that the staff member stormed off as Liam claimed she was exasperated and said: "I can't take this! This is too hot for me. I'm going for coffee." Liam and Pamela had nothing but compliments for each other, with Liam previously telling People that he was "madly in love" with the former Playboy cover star." She's just terrific to work with," he said. "I can't compliment her enough, I'll be honest with you. 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."

And last month, Pamela said: "Our chemistry was clear from the start. We have the utmost respect for one another. I invited him and his assistant over for romantic dinners with me and my assistant so our relationship stayed 'professionally romantic' during filming."
