Lily James’ transformation into Pamela Anderson on Hulu’s “Pam and Tommy” took “anywhere from three to five hours of hair and makeup every morning before we even started filming,” revealed Barry Lee Moe, hair department head for the upcoming limited series.
The comedy show takes on the true story behind the first-ever viral video in history — the sex tape of Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee. Along with Sebastian Stan as Lee, the series also stars Seth Rogen, Nick Offerman, Taylor Schilling, Andrew Dice Clay and more. Rogen will play Rand Gauthier, the man who stole and sold the tape.
Moe revealed the series had completed filming on Friday. “We ended up using 25 wigs in the end. Everyone from Seth Rogen to Nick Offerman, Taylor Schilling all wore wigs because we transform them into new characters.”
“Sebastian is the only one who doesn’t wear a wig,” said Moe. For the part of the Motley Crue drummer, Stan grew his hair out. “We had a keratin treatment done, and we colored it every few weeks.”
“Pam and Tommy” was ordered to series in December 2020. Moe says the series should arrive in early 2022. “It’s hopefully coming out in February.”
Tommy Lee has no problem with Sebastian Stan playing him in the upcoming Hulu limited series Pam & Tommy. The 58-year-old Mötley Crüe drummer spoke with ET's Rachel Smith at the 2021 MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday, and admitted that he hasn't seen the photos of 39-year-old Stan portraying him alongside actress Lily James, who is playing Lee's ex-wife, Pamela Anderson, in the miniseries.
"I know Sebastian, he's playing me. From what he's told me, really beautiful story," Lee shared with ET. "I think a lot of people would think it's one thing, but it's really about privacy and how things got crazy then. There's different laws now."
Pam & Tommy is about Anderson and Lee's whirlwind romance, including their 1995 wedding on the beach in Mexico after knowing each other for only 96 hours and the private sex tape from their honeymoon that was made public and watched by millions without their consent.
Though he's looking forward to the upcoming miniseries, Lee, who divorced Anderson in 1998, admitted to ET that the situation in real-life was tough. "The story's actually cool, what actually happened wasn't," he said, adding that "people need to know" what occurred.
Yeah when she was cast I really couldn’t see it but they’ve done an amazing job.I just cannot get over how much James looks like Anderson in this
Haven't seen a transformation this good since Debra Messing into Lucy or Charlize Theron into Megyn Kelly.I just cannot get over how much James looks like Anderson in this
