Hollywood star Pamela Anderson says she has "cracked the code" for living with social media without getting "depressed". The 57-year-old actress fears many people get stressed out by platforms such as Instagram because they have the ability to create the perfect version of themselves through editing. However, Pamela is adamant she looks exactly the same as her pictures in real life. She told Glamour magazine: "We're going through a time when people are taking a lot of pictures of themselves, there's a lot of social media, but they don't really look like their social media. "I've cracked the code: I actually look in the mirror like I do on social media. Then you don't have to get so depressed. Or (if) I see a bad picture of myself, I don't fret over anything like that anymore," she said. She went on to add her new state of mind is linked to her decision to scale back her use of make-up, reports ""Maybe it's accentuated or maybe it's not relatable because I've been in this business, but I think people can relate a little bit. They're always doing selfies and putting them on their [feeds], and then they're like: 'Oh, I don't look like that', or 'I look bad right now', when really you just look like you!" "I didn't plan on not wearing make-up as a political statement, but I'm glad it's resonating. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Treatment That Might Help You Against Knee Pain Knee pain| search ads Find Now Undo I really just did it for me so I could - I had to - get off the crazy train." The actress had previously described her decision to ditch make-up as a "social experiment. She told Times Radio: "I've always known that beauty does come from within, and that physical beauty is perishable. As much as my mom wants me to go out with an eye on, I'm experimenting. This is a social experiment. I'm doing what I think is right right now." She continued, "I'm not against make-up. I just feel like this is a chapter for me that I'm trying to figure out who I am." Anderson first stepped out bare-faced in 2023 during an appearance at Paris Fashion Week for the Vivienne Westwood show.

Sylvester Stallone offered Pamela Anderson a Porsche and a condo to go out with him: ‘That's the best offer you're going to get'
Hollywood couples always make for the best stories, and the ones that could have happened but never did make even better ones. This particular story comes from actor Pamela Anderson, who is currently celebrating the release of her new film, The Naked Gun. Anderson released a documentary about her life in 2023 titled Pamela: A Love Story, in which she claimed that Rocky Balboa once had the hots for her. Anderson said that Sylvester Stallone had offered her a brand new Porsche car along with a condo to become his 'No. 1 Girl', but soon someone from Stallone's team called the story 'fabricated'. While promoting her latest film, she went on the Watch What Happens Live talk show and responded to Stallone calling her story false. She said, 'Well, how could you make that up? You know? I mean, that was pretty specific.' The actor even joked that she might have entertained that idea if the car Stallone was offering was a Shelby Cobra. It doesn't make sense why Stallone would deny having a crush on the gorgeous Anderson, but when you look at the entire context provided in the documentary, it makes sense.

He goes, 'That's the best offer you're going to get, honey. You're in Hollywood now.'' She continued, 'I wanted to really be in love. I didn't want anything less than that.' True or false, a rep from Sylvester Stallone's team quickly addressed the matter and released a statement which read, 'The statement from Pamela Anderson attributed to my client is false and fabricated. Mr Stallone confirms that he never made any portion of that statement.' Even if we never got Rocky and Casey from Baywatch together, Pamela Anderson's love life has been quite a rollercoaster on its own. She has been married five times, with her first husband being the Motley Crew drummer Tommy Lee and her last husband being her own bodyguard Dan Hayhurst. Currently, Anderson is being linked to The Naked Gun co-star Liam Neeson, and a source close to the film told PEOPLE, 'It's sincere, and it's clear they're smitten with each other.'
