An insider has addressed the reports that Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson relationship 'isn't real'.
Neeson and Anderson caused quite a stir during the press tour promoting their hilarious new movie The Naked Gun.
They packed on the PDA on the red carpet, sparking many to believe that they were romantically involved away from their fictional film characters.
Both Neeson and Anderson have gushed about one another on numerous occasions, with the Baywatch alumni revealing that she had a 'great connection' with her co-star.

Elsewhere, Neeson described himself as being 'madly in love' with Anderson months before their movie hit theaters.
People across the globe have been expressing their excitement in the wake of Neeson and Anderson's apparent romance, including Freakier Friday star Jamie Lee Curtis who urged people to 'leave them the f*** alone' if the rumors are true.
But the couple have now been rocked with reports that their relationship was all a rouse to promote The Naked Gun.

According to people who have spoken to gossip columnist Rob Shuter, Anderson and Neeson's off-screen romance was 'strictly business'.
"Pamela Anderson is a pro, Liam Neeson is a pro - they knew leaning into the rumors would get attention," a source told Shuter.
Another said: "There was never a relationship to begin with. It was clever marketing. People want to believe in romance, and Hollywood knows love stories move tickets."
However, a source who spoke to UNILAD has refuted these reports and insisted that what fans have seen between Anderson and Neeson is 'genuine'.

"Everything between Liam and Pam has been genuine and neither of them would ever take part in a publicity stunt like that," they shared, adding: "It’s so absurd, neither of them needs that publicity."
The insider went on to say that reports about the actors' apparent connection being purely for marketing purposes is 'not correct at all'.
Phew. My faith in humanity is restored!

In light of the reports that their relationship perhaps wasn't real, people took to social media to share their disappointment.
Somebody tweeted: "Everyone talking about Taylor and Travis and i'm sitting here mad about how Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson bamboozled everyone into believe they were together."
"Everything is a lie in Hollywood," somebody else said in reaction to the reports that the two stars aren't really together.
"This is depressing but not unexpected," wrote another, adding: "They would’ve made such a cute couple, but this had PR stunt written all over it."

Others noted that it's not uncommon for co-stars to make it seem like they're together in a bid to push their movie and gave Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga, as well as Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell, as examples.
But Anderson and Neeson relationship stans always knew it wasn't a faux-mance.
"Do you really think Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson would need to do PR to promote a movie? All their friends congratulated them, even their own children," someone argued online.

Also refuting the claims, a different Twitter used said: "I think [Liam] really fell for her somehow."
"If you didn’t believe it you don’t believe in love, unlike me who believes in love," said another.
UNILAD has approached representatives of Anderson and Neeson for comment.
