Why ‘Baywatch’ star Pamela Anderson says she’s leaving Hollywood to return to her hometown in Canada in search of herself.
Pamela Anderson, the 1990s Hollywood icon known for her famous role in Baywatch, has shared a surprising story about her decision to leave the glamorous life of the entertainment industry. After years of living under the spotlight and being surrounded by the pressures of fame, she chose to return to Vancouver Island in Canada, the place where she grew up, to reconnect with a more peaceful and personal life.
In an interview with WWD at the end of October, former Playboy model Pamela Anderson revealed that her decision to move back to Vancouver Island, British Columbia in 2020 was an opportunity for her to reconnect with herself and leave the past behind. “Coming home to look at my life, to remember who I am, to realize that I am not the things others say about me,” she shared.
Anderson continued, “I don’t want anything from the past to define who I am. Instead, I want to be seen for what I am doing now.”
Over the years, Anderson has experienced many ups and downs, from becoming a sex symbol of Hollywood to navigating complex marriages and relationships. Despite her massive success, she admitted that the pressure and fame made her lose a sense of self and joy in her life. For this reason, leaving Hollywood and returning to her roots was an important turning point for her.
On Vancouver Island, Pamela lives a simpler life, closer to nature. She shared that she feels freer and has found peace in a small community, away from the media’s gaze. “The most important thing is to find yourself and live a meaningful life,” she said.
Pamela Anderson has found the happiness and tranquility she had been searching for for many years. Her story is a testament to the idea that sometimes, in order to truly be happy, we need to step away from the spotlight and reconnect with the real values of life.
