Sebastian Stan Recalls Talking To Tommy Lee About Pam & Tommy
The makers of Pam & Tommy still haven't heard from the real-life Pamela Anderson, but actor Sebastian Stan did get a chance to speak with Tommy Lee about the upcoming Hulu series. The show stars Lily James as the Baywatch actress and Stan as the drummer of Mötley Crüe, chronicling the couple's high-profile romance and eventual leaked sex tape that sparked a controversial media frenzy in the 1990s. With a supporting cast including Nick Offerman and Seth Rogen, the series is one of the most highly anticipated shows coming to Hulu in 2022, set to premiere on Feb. 2.

In a since-deleted Facebook post last year, Love called out the show for causing "complex trauma" for Anderson as it rehashes a difficult period of her life. Anderson has not made any public comment on the show nor responded to the Pam & Tommy crew's attempts to reach her. Stan seemed to have better luck getting ahold of his character's real-life counterpart.
