Pamela Anderson reveals if she'll be part of the Baywatch reboot
Pamela Anderson has addressed whether she will be appearing in the upcoming Baywatch reboot or not.
Pamela Anderson hasn't been asked to appear in the Baywatch reboot.
The 59-year-old actress shot to fame playing C.J. Parker in the first five seasons of the lifeguard drama but she insisted she doesn't "know much" about Fox's upcoming new version of the show, though she wished those involved in the project good luck.
She told Deadline: "No one’s reached out to me. I don’t know much about it.
“I know that they were talking to my sons at some point about producing, but I don’t think they had a meeting of the minds. I’m not sure what happened there, but I wish them well.”
Pamela adored her stint on Baywatch but stressed she has "no plans" to go back to the show in future.
She said: “It was a great job, and I loved going to work every day on the beach. I would have been there anyway.
“At the time, it taught me a lot, and it gave me worldwide exposure. Everything I’ve done has led me to here, which is a blessing. But I have no plans of going back to Baywatch.”
The Last Showgirl actress admitted she’d have considered being part of the Baywatch reboot if her sons, Brandon and Dylan Lee, had been involved, but otherwise she’s enjoying embracing new opportunities.
She said: “If my kids were involved, I probably would have listened to them.
“I think I’ve just got to keep on seeing what else is out there. I get that there’s a lot of really great TV out there right now, but I’ve already done that.
“Now is my time to really play with different characters. I don’t want to just fill my time until the end of the year. I have options, and some things I’m thinking about, including some theatre again. I want to make really bold choices. I want to surprise people. I want to surprise myself. And so I’m trying to do things I haven’t done in the past.”
Her former co-star Carmen Electra - who played Lani McKenzie - recently offered advice to the new cast and insisted they need to be in good shape and have strong swimming skills.
Asked what advice she'd give to the cast - which includes Jessica Belkin, Thaddeus LaGrone, Hassie Harrison, Brooks Nader, Noah Beck, and Shay Mitchell - Carmen told E! News: "It’s a lot of hard work.
"So, you just want to be in tip-top shape before you step out there, period. And work on your swimming techniques. Because it's hard. It’s not an easy job."
Carmen worked with a real-life lifeguard in preparation for her time on Baywatch.
She recalled: "He was like, ‘You've got to do everything'. He was really tough on us. So, I'm hoping they're not as tough on them, but I have a feeling they are."
