Fans knew the upcoming Hulu miniseries about Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee’s tumultuous, sex-fueled marriage would be scandalous, but they probably didn’t know it would be this outrageous.
While the Sebastian Stan and Lily James-fronted series “Pam & Tommy” won’t hit the streaming screens until Feb. 2, they recently opened up about a particular scene in episode two that will surely be NSFW.
The pair spoke to Variety in a lengthy story about the eight-episode series and what viewers will expect.
There is a specific part in the show where Stan as the Mötley Crüe drummer had just met his wife-to-be Pamela (James) and discusses with himself if he had actually fallen in love.
He then has a pep talk with his male genitalia. The show features Stan having a conversation with his penis (voiced by actor Jason Mantzoukas). The weird event was actually inspired by an anecdote seen in Lee’s 2005 memoir, “Tommyland.”
The show’s writer Robert Siegel discussed the raunchy scene with the outlet, saying: “As much as I’d like to take credit for that, I was simply adapting a chapter from [Lee’s] memoir.”
Siegel continued, “I think it might be a first [for television]. There was gentle pushback, because you’ve got to push back a little when a talking penis is presented to you. But Hulu was extremely supportive.”
Director Craig Gillespie chimed in and explained how hard it was a to shoot that scene, describing it as “just awkward.”
“You’ve got four puppeteers working with an animatronic penis,” he added. “And then, how much is too much, and do you start to lose his emotional torment of what’s going on? Hopefully it works.”
But the “Captain America” star was okay with the scene and said, “By the end of it, I treated it like it was an intimate buddy conversation that one might have when they’re falling in love.”
“Pam & Tommy” will chronicle the crazy ride that was Anderson and Lee’s wild rockstar relationship in the 1990s. It will mainly focus on the couple’s sex tape that they created on their honeymoon and its subsequent unauthorized release.
Seth Rogen, Nick Offerman, Taylor Schilling, Andrew Dice Clay, Pepi Sonuga, Spencer Granese and Mozhan Marnò join Stan and James in the drama series.
The “Baywatch” icon and the rocker married in 1995 after knowing each other only for only four days. They tied the knot on a beach and separated in 1998. Lee and Anderson welcomed two sons together, Brandon and Dylan.
