LILY JAMES SAYS SHE TRIED TO CONTACT PAMELA ANDERSON BEFORE FILMING PAM & TOMMY: Lily James told Porter on Monday (January 10th) that she tried to talk to Pamela Anderson prior to portraying her in Hulu’s Pam & Tommy. Us Weekly reports that she wasn’t able to get in contact with Anderson. “I was really hopeful that she would be involved. I wish it had been different,” James said. “My sole intention was to take care of the story and to play Pamela authentically,” she continued. “I’ve never worked so hard. I read the books Anderson has written, I read her poetry, I can parrot along to all her interviews.” The series has been criticized by some for focusing on Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee‘s sex tape. In May 2021, Courtney Love wrote about the leaked video on Facebook, “It destroyed my friend Pamelas life. Utterly.” Love added, “My heart goes out to Pammy heart emojis further causing her complex trauma. And shame on Lily James whoever the f— she is. #vile.”

However, the actor says this is why he didn’t get cast in Chronicles of Narnia. “I remember I was so desperate. I auditioned for Prince Caspian in ‘The Chronicles of Narnia’ and I thought, ‘This could be it, this could be it. And that handsome, brilliant actor Ben Barnes ended up getting the role. I think it was down to me and him, and I remember I was obsessed,” he said. Variety reports that Garfield then asked his agent why he didn’t get the role. “Why not me?” he said. “She eventually just broke under my incessant nagging and she was like, ‘It’s because they don’t think you’re handsome enough, Andrew.'”
