The Iconic Pamela Anderson

She’s back and she’s still got it! Yes, the former Baywatch beauty returns to MAXIM to talk about her foundation and how the world can be a better place, Julian Assange and our PM Scott Morrison, plus being the star of the latest Ultra Tune television commercial and much, much more…

Hello, Pamela, welcome back! How does it feel to be on the cover of MAXIM after all these years?

After all these years? That’s a funny way to start off! I don’t think of time, dates – life flies by in a blur. I’m always taking pictures, taking on creative projects and just having fun. I’m blessed you’re still interested!

Well, you’ve clearly still got it. You look gorgeous and it’s a great photo shoot. What did you enjoy most about it?

I love the photographer, Carmelo – he’s an angel – and I love Australia. I loved being on a boat on the Gold Coast – I heard it is pretty sharky where we were shooting this feature but I enjoyed swimming off the boat. I also love all the swimwear – it’s athletic, chic and simple.

Did you approach this shoot any differently to the millions you’ve done in the past?

I don’t approach anything differently. I just act the way I would without the camera there – I’d be the same around my friends. I just kept the focus on feeling good and I enjoyed the sun. Being outdoors makes me happy and healthy — it’s sexy.

How do you keep yourself looking so fit and fantastic?

I try to keep on a bit of weight – I think it’s better on me.

Tell us about your role in the new Ultra Tune TV commercial out this month.

I was presented the idea by my publicist who told me it was a funny and popular series of commercials. I did see the script and it was cute, simple and when I heard Australia I thought it would be a good opportunity to visit.

Any funny behind-the-scenes anecdotes you can share with us?
