<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Baywatch” star </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/pamela-anderson"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Pamela Anderson</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> discussed her effort to change her public image from the &#8220;cartoon character&#8221; she says she has created.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The 57-year-old Canadian-born model and </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/celebrities"><span style="font-weight: 400;">actress</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> is best known for appearing in Playboy magazine in the 90s, multiple breast implant surgeries, and her standout role as C.J. Parker on “Baywatch.” Anderson also went viral in 1995 after a sex tape of her and then-husband, Tommy Lee, was stolen and distributed.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The actress surprised fans recently by making public appearances without makeup, which is a far departure from the sex symbol, makeup-heavy look she’d become known for. Anderson discussed changing her look while promoting her upcoming cookbook.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The interviewer from </span><a href="https://www.bhg.com/the-stylemaker-issue-pamela-anderson-8678007"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Better Homes &amp; Gardens</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> asked specifically about Anderson going makeup-free, to which she replied, “That was the beginning of me letting go of the image I had always had of myself. What is this cartoon character that I’d created? OK, that was fun. But I’m not that person anymore.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">She continued, “It was a dance I was doing that I was only partly aware of. And looking back, I can see why I did it. But I’ve always been into being a homemaker too.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The actress said, “All the kids were always at our house. I cooked for everybody, pots of spaghetti for the neighborhood, and so my kids have always seen that part of me. And it hurt them to think that those other things are the only things people think of their mom. Yes, she’s been in Playboy. Yes, she’s done all these things, but we know who she is. It’s different now.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Anderson also discussed what it was like for her before. &#8220;I don’t know what happened over the last few decades, but I feel now so far removed from the image of who I was. I felt very sad and lonely,” she told BHG. “I didn’t feel just misunderstood. I felt like I had really screwed up, that my whole life was a bundle of mistakes,&#8221; the former “Baywatch” star added.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;I was hard on myself, and I thought I put my family through a lot and put my kids through so much. I came to a point where I decided to move home and disappear and get into my garden.&#8221;</span></p>

<p>Hollywood star Drew Barrymore got very emotional when she talked with Pamela Anderson about the struggles of raising kids in the public eye, something they &#8220;didn&#8217;t sign up for.&#8221;</p>
<p>During &#8220;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mThXKxRTtG8">The Drew Barrymore Show</a>&#8221; on Monday, the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/drew-barrymore-deeply-apologizes-for-offending-people-by-making-light-of-depp-heard-trial">host</a> was speaking with <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/pamela-anderson-has-surprising-answer-when-asked-how-she-feels-about-taking-steps-to-look-younger">55-year-old</a> actress about protecting her daughters Olive, 10, and Frankie, 8, with her ex-husband art advisor Will Kopelman from the paparazzi, <a href="https://pagesix.com/2023/02/14/drew-barrymore-breaks-down-crying-over-raising-kids-in-public-eye/">Page Six</a> reported.</p>
<p>&#8220;When I had my kids I was like …that changed everything,&#8221; Barrymore explained. &#8220;Don&#8217;t f*** with my kids. This is not okay. They didn&#8217;t sign up for this. It&#8217;s so hard.&#8221;</p>

<p>Barrymore then really broke down and started crying as Anderson tried to comfort her, agreeing that it was &#8220;hard&#8221; to have your kids be in a spotlight they never asked for.</p>
<p>The &#8220;Baywatch&#8221; star who has two adult sons, Brandon and Dylan, with ex-husband Tommy Lee, attempted to encourage the &#8220;Charlie&#8217;s Angels&#8221; star that she was &#8220;going to get through this.&#8221; She and Lee divorced in 1998.</p>
<p>Barrymore asked Anderson point blank how she managed to do it with her sons, &#8220;cause you raised these incredible boys.&#8221;</p>
<p>The &#8220;Barbwire&#8221; star pointed out that with the new &#8220;layer&#8221; of &#8220;social media&#8221; you have to be careful and explained that &#8220;you just have to make sure that women know how to make themselves safe. From very young girls.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Like, oh, I love having kids in this day and age,&#8221; Barrymore replied. &#8220;And maybe how our lives were the best things for setting us up as parents.&#8221;</p>
<p>Later, the celebrities discussed the challenges they have found in trying to find love again after their divorces, with someone who wasn&#8217;t their children&#8217;s father.</p>
<p>&#8220;That&#8217;s hard, isn&#8217;t it?&#8221; Anderson shared. &#8220;It&#8217;s just that connection you don&#8217;t have with anybody else.&#8221;</p>
<p>Barrymore spoke to <a href="https://people.com/tv/drew-barrymore-cripplingly-difficult-year-and-how-she-triumphed-cover-story/">People</a> magazine in December about fighting for her family after her split from Kopelman in 2016, calling the year that followed &#8220;cripplingly difficult&#8221; and more, as previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/numb-the-pain-drew-barrymore-shares-what-happened-that-made-her-decide-to-stop-drinking">reported</a>.  At the time of her divorce, their kids were 2 and 3 years old.</p>
<p>&#8220;It just took me down,&#8221; the actress shared. &#8220;There are times where you can look at someone you think is a strong person and see them so broken and go, &#8216;How the f*** did they get there?&#8217; And I was that person. I broke.&#8221;</p>

<p>Pamela Anderson gave a somewhat surprising answer during an appearance on the Monday episode of Dax Shepard’s “<a href="https://armchairexpertpod.com/pods/pamela-anderson" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Armchair Expert</a>” podcast when she was asked about her thoughts on aging, saying that she can&#8217;t wait to see herself “old.&#8221;</p>
<p>The &#8220;Barb Wire&#8221; star <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/im-not-a-victim-but-a-survivor-pamela-anderson-teases-real-story-in-netflix-doc-after-unauthorized-biography-pam-tommy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> she&#8217;s looking forward to getting older and doesn&#8217;t plan to do any of that &#8220;crazy s***&#8221; to herself to keep a younger appearance.</p>
<p>&#8220;I never felt like I was any kind of great beauty, ever, no. Just a little funny-looking,&#8221; Anderson told Shepard. &#8220;I can&#8217;t wait to see myself old.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I always said I&#8217;d recognize myself when I was old in the mirror,&#8221; she added. &#8220;I want to let my hair go kind of natural gray, put my little straw hat on, don&#8217;t wear makeup. I mean, that&#8217;s my comfortable kind of state.&#8221;</p>

<p>&#8220;A lot of women that are, I think, these kind of — are these classic beauties have a really hard time with aging,&#8221; the &#8220;Baywatch&#8221; alum continued. &#8220;I don&#8217;t think it’s as hard for me and I don&#8217;t want to chase that and I don&#8217;t want to do all the crazy s*** to myself.&#8221;</p>
