Liam Neeson recently revealed details about a notably unusual sex scene involving Pamela Anderson in the upcoming Naked Gun movie, where he plays Lt. Frank Drebin Jr., the son of Leslie Nielsen’s character from earlier films. The actor appeared on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert to explain the experience, describing it as somewhat strange.
Neeson highlighted that this project marked his first time working with an intimacy coordinator, which added to the peculiarity of the scene.
“Pamela and I knew… [what to do],”
Neeson said during the interview. When Colbert mentioned an unexpected threesome occurring in the sequence, Neeson admitted,
“That was a first. That had to be specifically choreographed.”
Additionally, Neeson confirmed that a body double was used for the shot focusing on his character’s lower back, telling Colbert, “Let’s move on.” The unique nature of the scene stands out, as noted earlier by Dan Gregor, one of the screenwriters. Gregor told Metro,
“This is a spoiler, but he [Neeson] has a great … very strange love scene that I believe has to be the strangest sex scene of his life.”
Behind the Scenes and Real-Life Connections
Reports have emerged suggesting a real-life romance between Neeson, 73, and Anderson, 58, who play Beth Davenport and Lt. Frank Drebin Jr., respectively. A source shared with People that
“It’s a budding romance in the early stages. It’s sincere, and it’s clear they’re smitten with each other.”
This off-screen relationship adds an intriguing dimension to the project and the scenes they share.
