Pamela Anderson has publicly reflected on her past as a Playboy model, describing her 1990s image as a 'cartoon character' that no longer represents who she is. In an interview, she expressed relief in adopting a more natural look, particularly highlighted during her makeup-free appearance at Paris Fashion Week, marking a shift away from Hollywood and her sex symbol status. Anderson emphasized the importance of challenging conventional beauty standards and shared her desire to embrace her authentic self. She recounted how stepping back from a heavily made-up persona opened her world, allowing her to appreciate life as a woman from Vancouver Island. Despite her fame, she admitted to feelings of loneliness and sadness tied to her past image, which prompted her decision to return to Canada for a simpler lifestyle. Now, she is focused on new projects, including a skincare line and a cookbook, while celebrating her journey towards self-acceptance.
