Pamela Anderson wants to "challenge beauty norms"

Pamela told the July/August issue of Harper's Bazaar UK: "I think that with AI technology and filters, people are becoming kind of boring-looking. I want to challenge beauty norms. I've always been a rebel. I never see somebody and think, 'I want to look like that.'

I just want to see who I am. At some point you have to say, 'This is all I've got.' Surrender to it. And it's real happiness. It's freedom to know you can walk on a red carpet without a stitch of make-up on. I mean, why can't I? Men do it all the time."

The ex-Baywatch babe - who has sons Brandon Thomas, 29, and Dylan Jagger, 27, with her ex-husband Tommy Lee - has been enjoying the freedom and independence being single has afforded her.

She told the publication: "I love being in a creative space. That's my happy place. I guess it's a romantic space, but it's not necessarily about men or about relationships. It's about seeing what you're made of, what you're supposed to contribute to the world. I love poetry, film and music, and I feel like I'm just trying to live this part of my life as authentically as possible."

The Last Showgirl star continued: "I don't know what my next incarnation will be, but right now, I want to peel it back. Clean up a little bit and just see: who am I?"

Pamela - who was previously wed to Kid Rock, Rick Salomon, and Dan Hayhurst, the latter of whom she split from in 2022, after just over a year of marriage - admits she would have to "really trust" the person to consider embarking on a romance again.

She added: "I feel like because I've been given this second chance - not everybody gets one - I get to do it my way. And so, if anyone comes into my life, I have to really trust that it won't interfere with my one shot."
