Pamela Anderson is making waves not just in the culinary world but also in her personal life, as she sparks dating rumors with Liam Neeson following their time together on the set of the upcoming reboot of The Naked Gun. While fans are buzzing about her new cookbook, I Love You: Recipes from the Heart, featuring her delightful Herby French Potato Salad, it seems her heart may be finding new connections as well.
According to RadarOnline.com, the former Baywatch star and the acclaimed actor were spotted enjoying dinners during breaks from filming. Anderson, known for her vibrant personality and culinary skills, shared her feelings about Neeson, stating, “Our chemistry was clear from the start. We have the utmost respect for one another.” She described him as “mysterious, inspiring, and a true gentleman,” indicating a deep admiration for the actor.
The two reportedly bonded over their shared “love of literature and a good laugh.” Anderson even took the time to bake sourdough bread, cookies, and muffins, which she shared with Neeson, adding a personal touch to their growing friendship. “I also invited Liam and his assistant over for romantic dinners with me and my assistant so our relationship stayed professionally romantic during filming,” she said, hinting at the care she took to maintain a professional atmosphere despite their budding connection.
While Pamela’s love life has seen its ups and downs—she was previously married to rock star Tommy Lee, musician Kid Rock, and gambler Rick Salomon, among others—her recent interactions with Neeson have brought a new sense of excitement. Neeson, who lost his wife Natasha Richardson in a tragic skiing accident in 2009, had previously expressed in October 2024 that he was done with dating. However, the chemistry between him and Anderson seems to have reignited interest in romance.
As Neeson navigates his personal journey, Anderson is also busy promoting her new cookbook, which features a variety of recipes that reflect her love for simple, hearty food. One standout dish is her Herby French Potato Salad, a vegan-friendly recipe that showcases her culinary flair. This salad is made with fresh herbs folded into a creamy, plant-based mayo dressing spiked with Dijon mustard—a perfect accompaniment for summer barbecues.
“If there’s one food that truly says ‘I love you,’ it’s gotta be potatoes,” Anderson expressed, highlighting her affection for the versatile vegetable. The recipe is not only delicious but also allows for flexibility, as she notes that if tarragon is unavailable, substitutes like chervil, fennel fronds, or Thai basil can work just as well.
The author of the cookbook recalls fond memories of cozy winter meals at her grandparents' house in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, where potatoes played a central role. “I remember many cozy winter meals consisting of soft, sweet, and buttery potato dinner rolls, whole milk in a wine glass, and oven-baked potatoes topped with melted butter and salt,” she reminisced, evoking a sense of nostalgia that many can relate to.
Anderson’s potato salad recipe is not just about the ingredients; it’s about the experience. She suggests going by weight rather than count for the potatoes, humorously noting that “8 small red potatoes” was far less than what she needed to hit the required 2 3/4 pounds. “Potato salad’s a lover, not a fighter,” she quips, emphasizing the importance of a relaxed approach to cooking.
She also advises letting the salad rest in the fridge for about 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld, making the dish even more delightful. “All those flavors—and that little bit of zhuzhed-up fat—get all buddy-buddy after a good 30-ish minutes,” she explained, showcasing her understanding of how food can bring people together.
With summer cookouts on the horizon, Anderson is eager to share her Herby French Potato Salad with friends and family. “I’m just waiting for the backyard barbecue invites to start rolling in,” she said, clearly excited about the potential for gatherings filled with good food and good company.
As Pamela Anderson juggles her culinary endeavors and her evolving personal life, fans are left wondering what’s next for the iconic actress. Will her relationship with Neeson blossom into something more, or will it remain a cherished friendship? One thing is for sure: whether in the kitchen or in her heart, Anderson continues to captivate those around her.
