What Pam Anderson Really Thinks Of Lily James' Portrayal Of Her
Ever since Hulu announced the release of "Pamela and Tommy," social media has been abuzz with anticipation about the show. At the height of their fame, the iconic couple set tabloids alight with their scandalous lifestyle, including the much-talked-about honeymoon sex tape. According to Deadline, Lily James, Sebastian Stan, and Seth Rogen will be playing the roles of Pamela Anderson, Tommy Lee, and Rand Gauthier, the man who stole the tape respectively. The eight-part series will focus on the two stars' whirlwind romance and quickie marriage.
At the time, Anderson was well-known for her role on "Baywatch" and had posed for Playboy, while Lee was Mötley Crüe's drummer. They tied the knot after knowing each other for only 96 hours, and against all odds, the marriage lasted three years. Two sons, Brandon and Dylan, were born from their union, and Anderson and Lee's on-and-off-again relationship continued for years.
Hulu released first-look pictures of James and Stan in their roles and fans were blown away by their likeness, according to Variety. Of course, it wasn't long before Anderson also gave her input. And there was no trace of the sugar-sweet C.J. Parker when she voiced her opinion about James' portrayal of her.
Pamela Anderson makes her feelings clear
"Baywatch" star Pamela Anderson slammed "Pam and Tommy," and according to The Sun, she let her friends know that she "has no intention of watching this God awful show, absolutely not. Never." It seems as if the series won't be making it onto Anderson's watchlist. The source said, "The whole thing is a joke to them."
As for Lily James, it appears as if Anderson has never heard of her or Sebastian Stan. The insider dished, "She's never heard of the actors playing her or Tommy, and doesn't care to know them." Seems a bit harsh for a woman who spent a good portion of her career in front of the camera. The source also apparently divulged, "She and her family think the show is a cheap knock-off." Ouch!
James answered all the naysayers when she recently posted a publicity shot on Instagram of herself as Anderson. She hit the nail on the head when she quoted Anderson herself, "It's great to be blonde. With low expectations it's very easy to surprise people." Yikes! It seems as if the claws are out and we'll need to see the show to judge for ourselves how well James fared at capturing Anderson's sexy essence.
