Hollywood heavyweight Liam Neeson has candidly discussed why he passed on a sizzling scene with Pamela Anderson in the much-anticipated Naked Gun reboot. The actor, known for his intense roles, admitted the prospect of filming intimate moments with the Baywatch icon didn’t align with his comfort zone.
Why Neeson Said No
Neeson revealed that while he was initially intrigued by the project, the script’s steamy demands gave him pause. "It just wasn’t for me," he confessed, emphasising his preference for roles that don’t require such explicit content. The actor, now 71, joked that he’s "too old for that sort of thing", though fans might disagree.
Pamela Anderson’s Comeback
The reboot marks Anderson’s return to the big screen, reigniting nostalgia for her iconic ’90s persona. Her involvement has already sparked buzz, with many eager to see how the film reimagines the classic slapstick comedy. Neeson’s decision, however, means the pair won’t be sharing the screen in the way some might have hoped.
What’s Next for the Franchise?
With Neeson out of the running, speculation mounts over who’ll step into the role originally made famous by Leslie Nielsen. The reboot promises to blend the original’s absurd humour with a modern twist, though it’ll have to do so without one of Hollywood’s most bankable stars.
For now, fans can only imagine what might have been—had Neeson been willing to bare more than just his acting chops.
