Tommy Lee has lost control. Totally jealous of Pamela Anderson’s dating, the former star of the group Mötley Crüe did not behave while the actress was filming for “Baywatch”. As director Michael Berk tells it, he followed her everywhere to make sure she didn’t make a mistake. “He was very jealous and wanted to make sure Pam wasn’t dating someone else.

He was a very handsome boy.” he explains in the documentary “Pamela Anderson & Tommy Lee” broadcast on Arte Friday July 15, 2022. According to him, at the time of the filming, Pamela Anderson even went to see him to ask him for a favor. “She said to me, ‘There’s a scene where I have to kiss Cody, can you change it? Could we hug?’ I said ‘No, you hugged in the last episode, you have to kiss.’ She said ‘No, please don’t make me kiss her, Tommy is very jealous” adds the director of the hit series.
