Sunday 25 September 2022 01:47 AM Lily James was 'a wreck' after LIVING in character as Pamela Anderson trends now

Lily James says she was 'shot to s**t' and 'a real wreck' after she lived in character as Pamela Anderson while filming biographical drama Pam & Tommy.

The actress, 33, played the Baywatch star in the show which chronicled the marriage between Pamela and Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee, played by Sebastian Stan.

Screen star Lily says she spoke to her own mother in Pamela's voice and never properly left character the entire time she was filming, insisting the difference between her real-life self and Pamela is too stark. 

According to the Mirror, Lily said: 'It was such a screwed-up process. You just have to be patient with yourself. The hours are so long and you feel really burnt out. Your nervous system is just like, shot to s**t. I felt like a real wreck at the end of it.

'The difference from me to her was too extreme to go back and forth. So, I had to stay in this middle no man’s land of like Lily/Pamela most of the time. I would totally slip into her voice.

'Even when I went out for dinner and was ordering with the waitress or talking to my mom on the phone, I would be American. I think I’ve lost lots of jobs ­because I keep speaking like Pamela in any audition.'

Lily was nominated in the Lead Actress category at the 2022 Emmy Awards but was beaten by Amanda Seyfried who won the prize for her role as Elizabeth Holmes in The Dropout.

Pam & Tommy chronicles the sex tape scandal which rocked Pamela and her then-husband Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee (played by Sebastian Stan) during their three year marriage.
