‘Pam and Tommy’: See Lily James’s mind-blowing Pamela Anderson transformation
Sometimes, actors can utterly transform themselves for an acting role. A large part of that transformation, however, comes down to whatever witchcraft is happening with the people in charge of hair, make-up, and costuming. Have you ever seen Face-Off on Syfy? It’s practically sorcery, we say, sorcery! How else can we explain Sebastian Stan & Lily James’ transformation for Hulu’s Pam and Tommy?
The first photo for the series was released over the weekend. Oh boy. Consider our minds thoroughly blown. Sebastian Stan looks very nearly like Tommy Lee Jones, but it’s Lily James’ transformation into Pam Anderson that’s blowing our brains out of our skulls, you know? It’s wild how much she looks like her. But that’s the power of hair, make-up, and costuming, we suppose.
Pam and Tommy follows the couple in the aftermath of the leak of their notorious sex tape. Joining Stan and James are Nick Offerman, Taylor Schilling, and Andrew “Dice” Clay. Seth Rogen, who developed the series with Evan Goldberg, plays the guy who leaks the tape. Rob Siegel wrote the series, which was directed by Craig Gillespie (I, Tonya), who knows about transforming actors.
Let’s see Twitter’s reactions to the transformations, shall we?

Seriously, did Lily James summon a demon?
She looks exactly like a young Pam Anderson. Stan’s Tommy Lee Jones is a bit off, but . . . seriously?!

The superior Lily
Lily James is clearly some sort of high achiever.

These are still, both, Lily James.
