Liam Neeson is smitten with Pamela Anderson.
The actor, 73, gushed over his girlfriend during a Wednesday, July 30 appearance on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert.
“She’s great. She’s terrific,” he told host Stephen Colbert, who mentioned that Anderson, 58, had appeared on the show last year to promote her cookbook, I Love You: Recipes From the Heart.
When Colbert, 61, asked Neeson if he tried Anderson’s recipes, he replied, “She loves to cook. She loves to bake. She made me sourdough loaves during the shoot. Bran muffins, which I love.”
Colbert also questioned Neeson about his first time working with an intimacy coordinator while shooting The Naked Gun opposite Anderson. In the action comedy, Neeson plays Frank Drebin Jr., a man on a mission to save the world, with Anderson by his side as Beth Davenport.

“There’s a threesome,” Neeson said of the film, adding that the coordinator’s presence was a “little bit strange, you know.”
“Telling you how to do it?” Colbert asked.
“Well, Pamela and I knew what … ,” Neeson replied, his voice trailing off.
“You guys knew what to do?” Colbert said, laughing. “Did you know how to bring in a third? Was that old hat for you?”

Smiling, Neeson remarked: “That was a first. That had to be specifically choreographed.”
Us Weekly confirmed on Tuesday, July 29, that Neeson and Anderson are dating after meeting on the set of The Naked Gun reboot, which hits theaters Friday, August 1. A source exclusively told Us that the pair “always had chemistry while they were filming and their friendship naturally developed into more.”
The twosome are “learning how to navigate” revealing their love to the world, the insider said, noting, “They are both shy and have tried to stay private but the spark between them is obvious.”
The insider said that Anderson’s sons “love seeing her happy and fully approve.” They “think Liam is great and have gotten to know him better in the last few months.”
Liam Neeson’s Dating History: Natasha Richardson, Pamela Anderson and More
Anderson shares Brandon Thomas Lee, 29, and Dylan Jagger Lee, 27, with ex-husband Tommy Lee. Both joined their mother at The Naked Gun’s New York premiere, where the family posed next to Neeson and his two sons on the red carpet. (Neeson shared Micheál, 30, and Daniel, 28, with his late wife Natasha Richardson, who died in 2009 after a skiing accident.)
Richardson’s inner circle supports Neeson’s new relationship.
“Natasha was a dear friend of mine,” Andy Cohen said on the Wednesday broadcast of Sirius XM’s Radio Andy. “And I’m gonna tell you something, I and all of the friends in this circle, are very much stanning, whatever this is.”
Cohen, 57, recalled his conversation with Neeson earlier this week where he said, “Liam, she is an independent woman just like Tash was. She loves to cook. She has her own thing going on. She has two boys. This just works.”
