Pamela Anderson believed she would marry a very surprising megastar but was left 'really disappointed.'
The 57-year-old blonde bombshell thought she would end up marrying Michael Jackson who was her childhood crush she recently told W Magazine.
Pamela - who stunned at the Golden Globes Awards 2025 on Sunday - said that she had dreams of marrying the Bad hitmaker who passed away at the age of 50 in 2009.
When asked who her childhood crush was she answered: 'Michael Jackson. I thought he would want to marry me. Then I met him, and he didn’t ask me to marry him! I was really disappointed.'
'The King Of Pop' Michael Jackson died on June 25, 2009 as result of a cardiac arrest following an overdose of the surgical anesthetic drug Propofol.
Meanwhile, the model had joined an array of stars for W Magazine's 2025 Best Performances Portfolio as she posed in a classy trench coat with her hair perfectly blow dried.

'I feel like this is just the beginning,' she added.

'I have a lot more to give. I'm capable of much more than I ever believed I could do in my past.'
Pamela had an emotional reaction to landing her first-ever Golden Globe nomination for The Last Showgirl as she was ultimately bested by Brazilian actress Fernanda Torres for her work in I'm Still Here.
The Baywatch star, who has landed rave reviews for her portrayal of a faded Las Vegas showgirl in the film, has been nominated in the Best Actress - Drama category.
Sharing an inspiring message to People, she said: 'I share this beautiful nomination with The Last Showgirl Family, my family, and my hard working companions on this interesting journey.
'It is never too late to dream, to start again, to stay open to possibilities — we are not all so lucky.
'I wish everyone my love and thanks while I navigate this new exciting chapter.'
Pam stars as Shelly, a glamorous aging showgirl who must plan for her future when her show abruptly closes after a 30-year run.
The Last Showgirl, which was initially released on September 6, also stars Jamie Lee Curtis, Kiernan Shipka, Brenda Song and Jason Schwartzman.

The film will be given a limited LA release on December 13 as an awards-qualifying run and premiere nationwide on January 10 2025.
Pam has ignited speculation she will land a Best Actress Oscar nomination for the role with Curtis' performance lauded as a 'force of nature' by Variety critic Peter Debruge.
Deadline’s Pete Hammond said: 'Anderson is remarkable in this role, which fits her own natural optimism but also gives her the chance to play her emotions laid bare. She will break your heart.
'I have always thought she was an underrated comedic actress, based especially on her short-lived 2005 sitcom Stacked, but the dramatic chops have not been there before, certainly not on this scale. And she is all-in here. Curtis steals every scene she has with wicked wit.'
On Rotten Tomatoes the film has 81% of 52 critics' reviews as positive.
Pamela last starred on screen in the 2017 film adaptation of Baywatch, briefly reprising her iconic role of CJ Parker.
Once she got her hands on Kate Gersten's script, she said she was instantly drawn to the character, who takes her art form very seriously despite everyone reducing her to a sexual object.
'I've never read a script that I responded to like that before — no one was sending me anything like this,' she said. 'I read it and I thought, I have to do this. It's life or death. It's really important.'

At the movie's premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival back in September, she said she's 'been getting ready my whole life for this role.'
'Having a beautiful, messy life is something incredible to draw from, and sometimes I'll look back on my life and think, I could have done this differently, but you need the life experience to be able to look back and say those things,' she said.
'I do love the craft of acting and I have taken a lot of private lessons and, finally, I felt like this is an opportunity for me to put that into practice,' she added.
Anderson added that she was able to have 'a thousand percent focus' on the project since she's single and her two sons are grown.

'I have nothing to lose. And what if this is the last movie I ever do, or the only movie I ever do?'
She said she took the role as a chance to 'see what I'm made of.'
'I knew I was capable of more than I'd done in the past, and I kind of had given up and went home and thought, "Oh well, it's too bad. I screwed up." I didn't work hard enough or people just see me a certain way because I fell into the trappings,' she said.
'I want to be defined by what I do and not what has been done to me.'
