The response to James’ post was an overwhelming WHOA. “You are a shape shifter. Wow,” commented one fan. “So spot on,” added another.
On Friday, Hulu also released a first look at Lily James as Pamela Anderson and her co-star Sebastian Stan as Tommy Lee for the upcoming limited series. Stan, covered in fake tattoos and piercings, will play the Mötley Crüe drummer.
