Pamela Anderson has shared her thoughts on Liam Neeson’s recent praise for her, calling him “the perfect gentleman” to work with.
The two famous actors teamed up earlier this year to film a reboot of the classic cop comedy *The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad!*—a movie first released in 1988, originally starring Leslie Nielsen.
It didn’t take long for *Love Actually* star Liam Neeson to publicly praise Anderson, describing her as “terrific” to work with.
In the upcoming *The Naked Gun* reboot, expected in 2025, Liam Neeson steps into the role of Drebin Jr., likely playing the son of Frank Drebin from the 1988 classic. While Pamela Anderson’s character hasn’t been revealed yet, fans know she shares several scenes with Neeson. In a recent interview with *People*, Neeson opened up about filming with the *Baywatch* star.
Neeson, 72, even admitted, “I’m madly in love with Pamela Anderson.” He added, “She’s just terrific to work with. I can’t compliment her enough.” He praised her professionalism, noting she has “no huge ego,” shows up “just to do the work,” and is both “funny” and “easy to work with.” Neeson believes Anderson will be “terrific” in the film.
Anderson has since responded warmly to his praise, showing mutual respect and appreciation for Neeson as a colleague.
Pamela Anderson recently returned the compliments Liam Neeson shared, describing him as an actor who “brings out the best in you” with “respect, kindness, and depth of experience.” Anderson, 57, recalled how Neeson “sincerely looked after” her during filming, even wrapping his coat around her when she felt cold. She called him the “perfect gentleman” and said, “It was an absolute honor to work with him.”
Neeson, despite some doubts about doing a comedy, confessed he wasn’t entirely sure if he could “carry it.” Anderson quickly offered her support, describing him as “humble” and noting it was “hard to keep a straight face” when they were on set together.
The *Naked Gun* reboot is based on an original story by Seth MacFarlane, with a screenplay co-written by Akiva Schaffer, Dan Gregor, Doug Mand, Mark Hentemann, and Alec Sulkin. Directed by Schaffer and produced by MacFarlane and Erica Huggins, the film is set to be released by Paramount Pictures on August 1, 2025.
Hollywood’s Golden Boy Vanishes – Finds a Surprising New Calling
He was a teen star with everything—fame, fortune, and a hit TV show. But just as his career reached new heights, he made a surprising decision. He stepped away from Hollywood, choosing a life path few had expected.
As a beloved child actor on “Growing Pains,” he became one of the most popular young stars of the 1980s. Teen magazines put him on their covers, and fans adored him. However, behind the fame, he struggled with the feeling that Hollywood wasn’t where he was meant to be.
At the height of his fame in the early 1990s, this actor made a choice that surprised many. He turned away from acting and embraced a life of faith. This decision didn’t just change his career; it changed his entire worldview. What happened to him after he left Hollywood?
From Childhood Dreams to Unexpected Stardom
As a child, he didn’t dream of becoming an actor. He wanted to be a doctor. But when his mother, urged by a friend, introduced him to acting, his career path shifted. That friend was the mother of Adam Rich, a famous child actor. She suggested his mother take him to an agent to try his luck with commercials.
Though he wasn’t eager, his mother followed the advice, and by age nine, he was landing small roles. One of his first jobs was a commercial for McDonald’s. Despite his early success, he didn’t enjoy acting much.
He once said, “I was always annoyed having to brush my hair and tuck my shirt in to go audition.” Still, his career took off, and he became famous for his role as Mike Seaver on Growing Pains. But despite the fame, he felt something was missing.
From Atheism to Christianity
He grew up in a non-religious household. “We didn’t go to church,” he said. He considered himself an atheist by his mid-teens, influenced by teachers who dismissed religion as a fairy tale. At the time, he was focused on his acting career and had no interest in faith.
However, his life took a turn when he attended church with a girl he liked. “I went to church not because I was interested in God, but because I was interested in the girl,” he admitted. That casual decision eventually led him to embrace Christianity.
Hollywood’s Response
By age 17, his newfound faith began to impact his work on Growing Pains. The show’s producers and cast grew concerned about how his religious beliefs might affect the show. His co-workers worried that his changing priorities could put the show’s future in jeopardy.
Reflecting on those years, he said, “I was trying to take the moral high road, but sometimes I didn’t handle it as gracefully as I should have.” His commitment to his faith, however, remained strong.
The Dark Side of Hollywood
As his faith deepened, he became more aware of unsettling behaviors in Hollywood. “The evil, the darkness of Hollywood has been going on for a long time,” he said. He described troubling experiences behind the scenes during his time on Growing Pains.
One shocking event involved his dialogue coach from the show, Brian Peck, who was later convicted of sexual abuse. These incidents solidified his decision to step away from the industry.
Life After Hollywood
At 20, he married his Growing Pains co-star, Chelsea Noble, and they built a family-focused life together. The couple adopted four of their six children, a cause close to both of their hearts. Noble herself was adopted, and they helped their children connect with their biological families when the time was right.
Cameron’s dedication to his family and his faith became evident during the filming of Fireproof in 2008. He refused to kiss anyone other than his wife in a scene, so the filmmakers dressed Noble as the female lead for the shot.
Leaving California
In 2021, Cameron decided to leave California. He shared on social media that Tennessee, Florida, and Texas were top suggestions for a new home. Ultimately, he chose Tennessee for its slower pace and “wholesome values.” Three of his children already lived there, making the move even more appealing.
In Tennessee, Cameron found a community of like-minded people, including others who had left Hollywood. He appreciated the “healthy freedom mindset” and found Tennessee to be a hub for Christian projects.
Becoming a Grandfather and New Projects
In July 2024, Cameron and Noble welcomed their first grandchild, Maya Jeanne Noble Bower. He shared the joyful news online, expressing his excitement for this new chapter as grandparents.
Cameron continued his work on faith-based projects, including the 2022 film Lifemark, which explores adoption and the value of life—a topic close to his heart as both a father of adopted children and the husband of an adopted woman.
Today, Cameron remains committed to creating media that reflects his beliefs. Though his teenage heartthrob days are behind him, his journey has brought him deep fulfillment and purpose.
