Pamela Anderson, the iconic Baywatch star, has revealed she was surprisingly nervous before meeting Julian Assange, the controversial WikiLeaks founder. The actress and activist shared her candid thoughts on their unlikely friendship in a recent interview.
An Unexpected Friendship
Anderson, known for her glamorous Hollywood persona, admitted she felt intimidated before her first encounter with Assange. "I was nervous," she confessed. "He's such an intelligent, intense person—I wasn't sure what to expect."
Bonding Over Activism
The pair connected through their shared passion for human rights and free speech. Anderson has been a vocal supporter of Assange, visiting him multiple times during his confinement in London's Belmarsh Prison.
"People might find it strange," Anderson said, "but we have deep conversations about philosophy, politics, and the state of the world."
From Nerves to Mutual Respect
What began as an anxious first meeting has blossomed into a genuine friendship. Anderson described Assange as "brilliant but misunderstood" and praised his commitment to transparency.
The actress has even brought her sons to meet Assange, hoping to expose them to different perspectives. "It's important to think critically about information and power," she explained.
