MÖTLEY CRÜE drummer Tommy Lee says that the upcoming “Pam And Tommy” limited series on Hulu, which recreates the story of Lee and then wife Pamela Anderson’s infamous leaked sex tape, is “a really beautiful story”.
Sebastian Stan and Lily James star in the forthcoming series as Lee and Anderson, while Seth Rogen also appears as the man who stole the tape, and is also acting as producer of the series with his partner Evan Goldberg. The series also stars Nick Offerman, Taylor Schilling, Andrew Dice Clay, Pepi Sonuga, Spencer Granese and Mozhan Marnò.
Speaking with ET’s Rachel Smith at the 2021 MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday (September 12), Tommy spoke about the upcoming Hulu series, saying: “I know Sebastian; he’s playing me. And from what he’s told me, it’s a really beautiful story. I think a lot of people would think that it’s one thing, but it’s really about privacy and how things got crazy then. And there’s different laws now. The story’s actually cool. What actually happened wasn’t, but he told me it’s pretty wild.”
Asked if he is surprised the story is being told now, Tommy said: “Yeah. It’s such a… God, I feel like it was forever ago. But it’s a cool story, and people need to know. I mean, it’s cool. I’m stoked. That’s cool.”
The eight-episode series focuses on the pair’s relationship in the 1990s, including the leak of their private home videos and the legal battle that ensued thereafter.
Lee and Anderson are not involved with the series, which is written by Robert Siegel and DV DeVincentis and produced by Annapurna.
