Why Pamela Anderson Doesn’t Want To Be A ‘Baywatch’ Babe
Actress Pamela Anderson is opening up about whether or not she wants to be in the Baywatch remake.
The blonde bombshell made her mark as C.J. Parker in the 90s television show about sexy lifeguards. With the news about a remake on the way, the 48-year-old sex symbol revealed that she’s not completely sure if she wants to step into that iconic red Baywatch swimsuit once again.
“Well, they called me and asked me to be in it, but I haven’t decided yet,” Anderson told Harper’s Bazaar.
“I don’t know. I don’t like remakes of TV shows and I kind of want to leave it as is and be remembered for that. I don’t know if I wanna go on Baywatch and be like, the old lady working at a counter somewhere.”
The reboot will star Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Zac Efron in the famous red trunks. Johnson will play the role of Mitch Buchannon, made famous by David Hasselhoff in the original series, while Efron will play Matt Brody, who was previously played by David Charvet.
Alexandra Daddario has been confirmed to take on the role of Summer Quinn and Kelly Rohrbach will play Pamela’s character, C.J.
While Pamela has admitted to owning and sometimes wearing the one-piece swimsuit, she told the fashion magazine that she’s not crazy about the color.
“I don’t think I would’ve worn red. But any time I’ve worn red, even red nails, it’s lucky for me because it’s something I don’t gravitate towards. It’s so weird, but I was really comfortable in my skin and I didn’t care so much. I thought, nobody’s perfect and imperfections are sexy. And you know, I would’ve been on the beach anyway, so I was shocked that they hired me and paid me.”
These days it’s obvious that Pamela Anderson is completely confident in her own skin. She posed fully naked for the last nude issue of Playboy. Anderson dished on how she keeps her perfect figure.
“I think part of it’s genetic, I’m lucky, and I do pilates every once in a while, I walk my dogs. I’m very active, but I don’t go to the gym or anything like that. My mom swears by Weight Watchers. You know, it’s all food. Exercise is good for you, and it’s good stress relief and body shaping, but to lose weight, it’s 80% food.”
Pamela Anderson has revealed in the past that she’s a vegan, which is partly why she still looks great. It obviously worked in her favor. Pam first posed nude for Playboy in 1989 and has appeared on the magazine 15 times. Though she understands why Playboy is doing away with nudity, she’s still disappointed since it was a huge part of the iconic brand.
Even though Anderson is comfortable with sexuality and nudity, there’s one thing that she’s not comfortable with, and that’s her sex tape. Sure, Baywatch gave her a platform, but it was her tape with ex-husband Tommy Lee that made her a household name. Anderson also paved the way for Paris Hilton, Kim Kardashian, and the countless other celebrities who have had their sex tapes “leak” on the internet.
Back in September, when Pamela appeared on Watch What Happens Live, host Andy Cohen asked her about that infamous sex tape. The model admitted that “she’s never seen it,” she went on to claim that she never wants to see it and that she never made any money off of it, contrary to popular belief.
On Wednesday, March 2, Pamela Anderson stopped by The Wendy Williams Show to talk about her debut vegan beauty and clothing line. She also revealed that she would make an appearance on the Baywatch reboot, as long as they gave her a good offer. Watch the rest of Anderson’s interview below.
