Pamela Anderson, the iconic star from “Baywatch” and “Barb Wire,” recently appeared on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” to discuss her new film, “The Last Showgirl.” The interview was lively and full of interesting revelations about Anderson’s career and personal life.
Host Jimmy Kimmel began the conversation by congratulating Anderson on her recent nomination for Best Actress at the SAG Awards. Anderson appreciated the recognition but mentioned the pressure and intimidation she feels at award shows, surrounded by esteemed directors and actors.
Kimmel asked if anyone in particular had intimidated her at these events, to which Anderson replied that she was surprised by the number of directors and movie stars who approached her with praise for her work. She also acknowledged the lack of Emmy wins during her time on “Baywatch,” jokingly referring to those days as “blurry.”
The conversation took a turn to humorous anecdotes, with Kimmel asking about a calendar and CD of David Hasselhoff that Anderson supposedly received as a Christmas gift from the “Baywatch” co-star. Anderson confirmed the story, mentioning that she never knew Hasselhoff had a music career until she received the CD.
Anderson revealed that she currently resides in a small town in British Columbia, where she finds solace and contentment. She spoke about her love for baking bread and maintaining her sourdough starter, which she keeps in the fridge. When she travels for work, she leaves her starter behind but joked about its hunger when she returns.
The talk shifted to the filming of “The Last Showgirl,” which took place in Las Vegas at the Rio Hotel. Anderson clarified that she did not stay at the hotel but instead stayed at her ex-husband’s house. She fondly recalled the times she spent with the showgirls from Jubilee, fostering a bond by cooking vegetable soup together.
The interview also delved into Anderson’s childhood and driving experiences. She shared that her father taught her how to drive in a truck with a flatbed and stick shift while working for his furnace service. Anderson amusingly mentioned how she failed her driver’s test three times, with one instance involving backing into another car.
Anderson’s appearance on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” coincided with the release of “The Last Showgirl.” She expressed her happiness with the film and the experience of watching it alongside the cast at the Toronto Film Festival. Anderson also mentioned her excitement for her upcoming Naked Gun movie, starring alongside Liam Neeson.
The conversation took an unexpected turn when Kimmel asked Anderson about President Trump‘s suggestion of Canada becoming the 51st state. Anderson dismissed the idea, stating that there is no enthusiasm for such a notion in Canada.
The interview concluded with a humorous story about Trump allegedly hiring Anderson for his birthday party. Anderson explained that as a playmate, she was often paid to attend events, including one of Trump’s birthday parties. Despite the payment, she found it sad that he needed to hire people for his own celebration.
Anderson, looking forward to returning home after a period of traveling and promoting “The Last Showgirl,” bid farewell to the audience. She emphasized the joy of seeing people return to theaters and encouraged viewers to watch the film.
Pamela Anderson‘s appearance on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” showcased her vibrant personality and gave fans insights into her career and personal life. With her recent nomination and upcoming projects, it seems Anderson’s acting career is just getting started.
