Pamela Anderson, Liam Neeson dodge dating rumors on 'Today' show: 'Are you two an item?'

"The Naked Gun" costars Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson are the latest focus of Hollywood romance rumors.

The Hollywood A-listers behind the beloved 1980s and '90s action franchise reboot (in theaters Aug. 1) appeared on the "Today" show with coanchor Craig Melvin, who bluntly asked the duo if they were dating.

"What's the deal here?" Melvin asked on the July 29 episode, addressing "red carpet action" and a "passionate" onscreen kiss. "You're both single right now. There's clearly chemistry on display throughout this film. Are you two an item?"

Neeson, 73, replied, "Craig!" as Anderson, 58, coyly quipped, "What? I don't understand the question." Neeson then told Melvin that "I had never met Pamela before. We met on set. And we discovered we had a lovely, budding chemistry as two actors."
