Jamie Lee Curtis isn’t holding back when it comes to defending her friends, particularly Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson. The “Freaky Friday” star recently reacted strongly to speculation about the couple’s rumored romance, telling VT in an interview, “With all due respect to pop culture, if love has found its way into that relationship—God bless them both—leave them the f*** alone.” She emphasized that both Anderson and Neeson have experienced hardship and are beautiful human beings, deserving of happiness and respect ¹.
urtis’s comments come amid growing speculation about the couple’s relationship, sparked by their on-screen chemistry in the rebooted comedy classic “The Naked Gun.” The pair’s red carpet appearances and kind words about each other have fueled rumors of a romance. Neeson has praised Anderson, calling her “gorgeous” with a “wonderful sense of silliness,” while Anderson has described working with him as “an absolute honour” ².
Curtis’s defense of the couple is not just about their rumored romance but also about acknowledging the challenges they’ve faced. She referenced Neeson’s past, noting the “unimaginable loss” of his wife, Natasha Richardson, in 2009, and his difficult journey since. Curtis’s message is clear: if Anderson and Neeson have indeed started a new chapter in their lives together, they deserve to be left alone and allowed to enjoy each other’s company ³.
The Public’s Reaction
The public’s response to the rumored romance has been mixed, with some expressing surprise and others criticizing the media for focusing on a decades-old event. However, Curtis’s vocal support for the couple underscores the importance of friendship and respect in navigating public scrutiny. As she aptly put it, “If they actually have found an intimate love with each other, we should all go to bed tonight feeling better” ¹.
