Actress Lily James defended the hot scenes in the upcoming Disney series Pam
Mamma Mia star, 32, takes on the role of Baywatch icon Pamela Anderson in the series, which takes a stand at the time when her ’90s sex tape with ex-husband Tommy Lee leaked online.
Early reviews have scenes from the eight-part series, which will launch on the streaming platform on Tuesday, that would make Pam blush.
However, Lily revealed to The Sun: “We felt that the sex scenes had to be a component of the story and they had to be indispensable to the script and advance their dating and take a look at what had happened.
“It’s a very clever consistent verbal exchange and not something set in stone. “
Lily also added that she “loved” the star for the role, describing Pam as “one of the biggest stars on the planet and an icon. “
She added: “They gave me a lot of that. It was definitely the biggest acting challenge of my life. I was alive and I enjoyed it. “
Pam’s ex Tommy reportedly told his friend Guerin Swing that he was “proud” to have created the story and that he would watch the series about the couple.
According to her boyfriend, Tommy will be listening. But Pamela would never see the screen because she believes the sex video “ruined” her four-year marriage.
In the past he had told The Sun: “Tommy told me the other day, ‘Let everyone know we did it first. Before the Kardashians, before everyone else. Let the fools know that we broke the Internet first. ‘”
Guerin added: “Basically, it’s just kids making mistakes with a video camera, a new toy. Tommy never showed me the video or anyone. He never spoke ill of Pam. No one else saw it. “
Pam and Tommy were married from 1995 to 1998 after falling madly in love at first sight when they were at the Hollywood Sanctuary Club in 1994.
The union of Playboy Playmate, now actress Pamela, and Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy sparked great public interest, and the pair made headlines with their loud antics together.
From PDAs on the red carpet to very intimate interviews, the couple in love did not hesitate to hide their adoration for each other.
