Lily James transforms into Pamela Anderson's 'Baywatch' character - and fans can't tell them apart

Lily James has once again left fans speechless with her iconic transformation into Pamela Anderson.

The British actress, 32, is set to star in a new Hulu biopic alongside Sebastian Stan as they take on the roles of Pamela and her ex-husband Tommy Lee.

With filming well underway, the series - titled Pam & Tommy, will explore Pamela's tumultuous relationship with ex-husband Tommy.

And Lily's striking new appearance has not only left fans on social media in shock, but they were unable to tell her apart from Pamela.

Donning a signature red Baywatch bathing suit, Lily switched up her brunette locks for Pam's staple blonde hairdo.

Fans couldn't believe their eyes at the uncanny resemblance, as they took to Twitter to share their thoughts on the transformation.

"Lily James understood the assignment," wrote one fan alongside a side-by-side photo of the pair.

Another wrote: "HOW IS THIS LILY JAMES ?????"

A third added: "Where the hell is Lily James, I only see Pamela Anderson," before another wrote: "lily james as pamela anderson.. it's getting scary at this point. [sic]"

While another chimed in: "If I wasn’t told the image to the left is Lily James, I would have thought I was looking at Pamela Anderson."

The series is set to depict the infamous sex-tape scandal that rocked Hollywood - which saw Pamela and Tommy's sex tape be stolen by a former worker who leaked it online.

What's more, episodes will delve into the pair's romance, including the pair's beach wedding in Mexico in 1995 - which took place just four days after meeting.

Joining the cast alongside Lily and Sebastian is Seth Rogen, who is set to play the man who stole the infamous sex tape. He is also the producer of the eight-episode TV series.

Pamela first struck up a romance with Tommy in the 90s. The couple's romance quickly blossomed and they went on to welcome two sons - Brandon, now 20, and Dylan, now 19 - before divorcing in 1998.

Shortly before they filed for divorce, the pair's sex tape leaked online, sparking massive public attention and news coverage. Their safe, which contained an almost hour-long sex tape of the two, was stolen by a former worker.

Despite their best efforts in blocking the sex tape's release, the rape was still released online which saw Pamela drop her lawsuit against the video distribution company.
