Pamela Anderson returned to Canada to rediscover herself

Pamela Anderson wanted to rediscover herself

Pamela Anderson moved back to Canada to rediscover herself.

The 57-year-old actress left Hollywood for Vancouver Island, British Columbia, in 2020 and she decided to relocate in order to reconnect with the person she really is away from the expectations of others.

Speaking to Women's Wear Daily (WWD), she said: "I guess a homecoming, you could say, to really kind of look at my life and remember who I was — not what other people were telling me I was.

"And I didn’t want anything that had happened to me to define me.

"I wanted what I do to define me… all these realisations came to me in the rose garden.”

The 'Baywatch' star has recently enjoyed a career resurgence, with new movie 'The Last Showgirl' and an upcoming role in the new 'Naked Gun' film, and she is "embracing" the fact her "time" is now.

She said: “I don’t know how I pulled this off.

"Just like this movie I’m doing, I don’t know how I pulled it off either. I just feel like the stars have aligned, and if you just believe in yourself long enough … always keep that little fire burning.

“You know, timing is everything. So this seems to be my time, so I’m embracing it."

Previously, Pamela admitted she wasn't "in a good place" when she returned to Canada.

Speaking to Better Homes and Gardens magazine in September, she said: “I don’t know what happened over the last few decades, but I feel now so far removed from the image of who I was.

"I felt very sad and lonely. I didn’t feel just misunderstood, I felt like I had really screwed up, that my whole life was a bundle of mistakes. I was hard on myself, and I thought I put my family through a lot and put my kids through so much.”

Pamela - who has two sons, Brandon, 28, and Dylan, 26, with her ex-husband Tommy Lee - spent the first few years after the move self-reflecting.

She added: “It took me a couple years of transitioning and thinking.

“I was finally able to sit with myself.”
