Dean Cain and Pamela Anderson’s short fling ‘burned hot’ then fizzled

Dean Cain’s short-lived fling with “Baywatch” bombshell Pamela Anderson didn’t last for one simple reason. 

During a candid interview, Cain, 59, explained that their six-month romance started out “hot,” but ultimately fizzled out. 

“That candle burned hot and short,” he told Variety.

Cain explained that he had ties to Anderson, 58, when she was becoming a global sex symbol on the heels of her iconic “Baywatch” role.

He explained the reason for their break-up was that they were both looking for something different in their relationship.

“She wanted to be with the rock-star kind of guy, and that’s not me,” the former “Lois & Clark” star admitted.

It’s no secret that Anderson was living life in the fast lane back in the ’90s, as she dated famous musicians and other high-profile stars as she rose to fame.

The former Playboy model has been married five times, with her first husband being Tommy Lee. She had a short marriage to Kid Rock, then married Rick Salomon, divorced him, and married him again before they split for good. Her most recent marriage, to her bodyguard, Dan Hayhurst, ended in 2021.

Cain’s comments come after Anderson was caught “making out” with her “Naked Gun” co-star Liam Neeson earlier this week.

On Tuesday morning, Anderson and Neeson were caught getting very cozy with one another during their appearance on the “Today” show – at one point, they were shown with their arms around each other in what appeared to be a passionate embrace.

Neeson, 73, gave Anderson a steamy kiss before the pair turned to the camera, looking surprised.

“I had never met Pamela before,” Neeson explained during their interview. “We met on set. And we discovered we had a lovely, budding chemistry — as two actors.”

Neeson continued, hinting that whatever’s happening between them isn’t being forced. “It’s like, ‘Oh, this is nice. Let’s not mold this. Let’s just let it breathe.’ And that’s what we did.”

A source close to the film told People that the sparks aren’t just for the cameras. 

“It’s a budding romance in the early stages. It’s sincere and it’s clear they’re smitten with each other,” the insider claimed. Neeson and Anderson are reportedly “enjoying each other’s company.”
