PAMELA Anderson’s ( pic) son told her to pose for Playboy’s final nude issue.
The 49-year-old actress – who has sons Dylan, 20, and Brandon, 18, with ex-husband Tommy Lee – has admitted that stripping for the adult publication for the 14th time earlier this year was a “real honour” and she agreed to founder Hugh Hefner’s request to return to the magazine that made her famous.
She said: “It was a real honour. I never thought I would do a cover again. When Hef called me, my son was next to me and he said, ‘Mum, you’ve got to do it!’ So I did.”
The Baywatch actress has been taking her sons to Hefner’s infamous Playboy Mansion ever since they were babies, but was mortified when they finally realised what the magazine mogul did for a living.
She said: “Hef would always tell them things like, ‘Your mum couldn’t afford clothes when she got here’.
“One time, I think they kind of realised what was going on and said, ‘Mum, I was just at the grotto. Do you know what Hef does for a living? He takes pictures of naked girls.’ I was like, ‘Oh my God, let’s get out of here.’”
Anderson also finds it quite tough to see 90-year-old Hefner these days because his body is “falling apart”.
“Hef has always been a pioneer, setting the stage for all of us. When I saw him not too long ago, it was hard to see him in a walker.
“He’s always been this strong person and I know that he’s still strong, but to see his body fall apart is hard.”
Anderson said she will always treasure the early days of her career as she learned so much, even if she insists things were tamer than people assume.
She told Dazed magazine: “I really miss the Playboy days, It was wild ... It was my university: sex, art, philanthropy and just being around talented, wonderful people.
“On Sunday nights we would all watch movies and stay around for the jacuzzi. I even used to call Hef up in the middle of the night and ask him, ‘What are you doing?’
He would say, ‘I’m eating a peanut butter sandwich. Come on over!’
“It was really innocent. I mean, we weren’t too innocent, but it was very free and nothing compares.”
