Pamela Anderson ‘Depressed’ For Years After ‘Baywatch’
There was a recent documentary called After Baywatch: Moment in the Sun. Pamela Anderson chose not to take part in the film, and many people were confused as to why. She was one of the biggest stars to ever come out of the series. However, a recent interview might explain why she chose not to participate.
Here is what Anderson said about her life post-Baywatch.
Pamela Anderson Suffered From Depression After Baywatch
Pamela Anderson was in the After Baywatch: Moment in the Sun documentary. However, it was all footage from an archived interview. Anderson famously rejected the offer to appear in the documentary alongside her fellow famous former stars.
In a new interview, Anderson explains why she chose to step back, and it all has to do with her memories and mental health concerns following the hit TV series. She realized her issues after making her Broadway debut in 2022, playing Roxie Hart in Chicago.
“I went from Baywatch to Broadway,” Pamela said (via Variety). “I don’t know what happened in between, it’s all a big blur; I am just happy to be here, in this moment, because I think I have had depression for a couple of decades.”
Her depression likely came from the stress that appearing on a show like Baywatch causes and the real-world drama, such as her leaked sex tape with Tommy Lee of Motley Crue. However, she has no regrets about her past, from her breakout in Playboy to starring in Baywatch.
“I don’t think I could have played this character [in her upcoming movie The Last Showgirl] if I wouldn’t have the life that I had, so it was worth it,” she said. “If I can continue working and using these struggles and challenges… I’ll feel blessed.”
What Is Pamela Anderson Doing Now?
The good news is that Pamela Anderson is in the middle of a minor comeback after years of staying out of the spotlight. This year, she debuted a new movie called The Last Showgirl, which has many people talking about awards recognition for her.
The Last Showgirl is directed by Gia Coppola (Francis Ford Coppola’s granddaughter). It tells the story of a Las Vegas showgirl whose show is ending after 30 years and her struggles to figure out her future. Dave Bautista plays her manager, and Jamie Lee Curtis plays her best friend.
Anderson also stars in the upcoming reboot of Naked Gun, with Liam Neeson in the lead, and the upcoming drama thriller Rosebush Pruning.
