I was like,’What are you doing? You are playing Tommy Lee? ”’ the Outside the Wire celebrity, 42, told Variety on Sunday, May 16.
According to Hulu, Pam & Tommy will be”a comedic restricted series [based] on the true story behind the launch of this first-ever viral movie in history — the sex tape of Pamela Anderson along with Tommy Lee.”
Following the Gossip Girl alum, 38, sent his friend some sneak previews in the show, Mackie altered his mind about Stan’s role.
“He sent me a movie on place and a few photos, and I was dismissed,” that the Woman in the Window actor said. “I was really surprised and impressed that he managed to do it”
The Lousiana native can be happy that his Falcon and the Winter Soldier colleague’s talent is finally gaining some recognition.
“He smashed it. I mean, he actually managed to change, and that is every actor’s dream with each role you perform,” Mackie continued. “Sebastian is a great performer and is [becoming his due]. People being able to see him for the chameleon that he is — not only the superbly amazing, blue-eyed god that he is. It is very refreshing to see your friend win”
Not everyone is as excited for the upcoming series, however. On Sunday, Courtney Love slammed the series, claiming it had been giving the former Playboy model, 53,”complex trauma.”
“I find this so f–king outrageous,” the Hole frontwoman, 56, composed via Facebook at a since-deleted post. “My heart goes out to Pammy.”
The”Violet” singer also called out Lily James, who stars alongside Stan in the show .
“And shame on Lily James whoever the f–she is,” Love added, noting that the tape had”destroyed” Anderson’s life when it had been stolen and published in 1995.
Anderson reflected about the notorious video — which was taken during her honeymoon with Lee — during a May 2020 appearance on Watch What Happens Live Together With Andy Cohen.
“That wasn’t a sex tape,” she insisted at the moment. “It was a set of vacations that we were nude on.”
