The Baywatch star is a proud mother to her two sons, Brandon and Dylan, whom she shares with her ex-husband, Tommy Lee. The pair were married from 1995 to 1998, during which time they welcomed their boys into the world.
Their high-profile relationship brought Anderson into the spotlight, but her son wants to ensure the world understands her beyond her public image.
Alongside the scandal, Anderson’s widespread fame from Baywatch locked her into the “blonde bombshell” stereotype, something she has been trying to break free from ever since.
Now, The Last Showgirl offers Anderson a fresh narrative. The 57-year-old actress recently earned her first-ever Golden Globe nomination for her portrayal of Shelly in the Gia Coppola-directed drama. It’s a significant milestone in her career and a moment of well-earned recognition.
Brandon previously produced her 2023 Netflix documentary Pamela, A Love Story, which explored her life, career, and the misinterpretations surrounding her public persona. Reflecting on the documentary, he shared that his primary goal was to help people truly understand who Pamela Anderson is, beyond the misconceptions.
As someone actively managing the Anderson family’s business affairs, Brandon shared his motivation for stepping into this role: “The reason I got involved, other than for various business reasons – my personal mission was to give my mom the opportunities she gave me as a child.”
He went on to add, “She would do anything for me. She showed up and was a very good mother. And at a certain point in your life, you become a protector.”
Brandon admitted that it would have been an easy path to capitalize on the public’s perception of his mother. However, he recognized that doing so wouldn’t have aligned with what truly made her happy.
“I really just wanted her to feel like she had the opportunity, whether it happened or not, to achieve success in the field she wanted to be in,” he continued, emphasizing how important it was for his mom to feel empowered and supported in chasing her dreams.
With the critical acclaim surrounding The Last Showgirl, Brandon feels optimistic about the future. He believes this recognition is just the beginning of an exciting new chapter for Pamela Anderson in the world of film.
