Pamela Anderson Discusses New Satirical Film and Recent Projects

Pamela Anderson said she is enjoying a quieter phase of life on Vancouver Island, where she spends time reading and tending to her 15,000-square-foot garden. The actress, who recently gained attention for a viral garden video, highlighted the shift from the "blurry years" of her early fame to a period focused on personal well-being.

Anderson will appear in four new films this year, beginning with "Rosebush Pruning," directed by Karim Aïnouz and written by Efthimis Filippou. The pitch-black satire follows an affluent family entangled in incestuous relationships and is described by the director as a commentary on contemporary wealth and fascist tendencies. Anderson said the script felt "timely" and that she was drawn to its provocative nature, adding that the film forces audiences to confront uncomfortable truths.

"I like stirring it up and I don’t need to be liked," Anderson said.

She also reflected on her recent roles, including a Vegas showgirl in "The Last Showgirl," which earned her Golden Globe and SAG nominations, and a part in the studio comedy "The Naked Gun." Anderson noted that while the Oscar nominations did not include her performance, she feels her career is still in its early stages.

When asked about the influence of social media and the rise of fascist themes, Anderson said artists have a responsibility to address the era’s "narcissistic vapidness" and that storytelling should not shy away from difficult subjects.

Anderson described gardening as therapeutic, saying she spends mornings among roses and uses the time to generate ideas for her characters. She also mentioned recent personal events, including her son Dylan’s wedding in Saint-Tropez, and her involvement in charitable pickling projects that support animal-rights organizations.

The actress confirmed she has not been approached about a "Baywatch" reboot and expressed no expectation of a sequel to "The Naked Gun," citing studio changes as a factor.

Overall, Anderson emphasized her commitment to continue exploring challenging roles and collaborating with a range of filmmakers, while maintaining a grounded lifestyle centered on her garden and community work.
