\"Anderson<\/p>\n

Anderson rose to fame playing lifeguard C.J. Parker from 1992 to 1997<\/p>\n

Pamela Anderson is getting candid as Fox\u2019s new Baywatch reboot moves forward without her. <\/p>\n

Speaking to Deadline in a new interview published Friday, July 24, the 59-year-old actress revealed she the network did not approach her regarding the reboot \u2014 not that she had any plans to revisit her breakout role in the first place. <\/p>\n

\u201cNo one\u2019s reached out to me. I don\u2019t know much about it,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Anderson reflected fondly on her years playing lifeguard C.J. Parker from 1992 to 1997, acknowledging that Baywatch gave her worldwide recognition. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a great job, and I loved going to work every day on the beach,\u201d she recalled. \u201cI would have been there anyway. At the time, it taught me a lot, and it gave me worldwide exposure. Everything I\u2019ve done has led me to here, which is a blessing. But I have no plans of going back to Baywatch.\u201d<\/p>\n

Although she briefly returned for a cameo in the 2017 film reboot with Dwyane Johnson and Zac Efron, Anderson says she\u2019s focused on exploring new creative opportunities.<\/p>\n

\u201cI get that there\u2019s a lot of really great TV out there right now, but I\u2019ve already done that. Now is my time to really play with different characters,\u201d she explained. \u201cI don\u2019t want to just fill my time until the end of the year. I have options, and some things I\u2019m thinking about, including some theatre again. I want to make really bold choices. I want to surprise people. I want to surprise myself. And so I\u2019m trying to do things I haven\u2019t done in the past.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Anderson rose to fame playing lifeguard C.J.
