The 32-year-old English actress is portraying the US pin-up queen in the upcoming series, Pam & Tommy and has undergone a drastic makeover to become the blonde bombshell.

James’ short brown hair was replaced with a peroxide blonde wig, and she was sporting a noticeably larger bust as she was seen running along the sand during shooting.

It comes after James surprised fans when she took to Instagram last week giving a first glimpse at herself in character.

James stars alongside Sebastian Stan, who will play Tommy Lee, in the upcoming Hulu series, which takes a comedic look at the true story behind the first ever viral video – Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee’s sex tape.

The pair married less than a week after they first met in 1995.

The tape they made having sex during their honeymoon was stolen from their home and distributed online.

At the time, Anderson and Lee sued the distributer, Internet Entertainment Group, eventually reaching a settlement.

James and Sebastian star alongside a star-studded cast, including Seth Rogen, Nick Offerman, Taylor Schilling, Andrew Dice Clay, Pepi Sonuga, Spenser Granese and Mozhan Marnò.
