While doing press for the 2021 MTV Movie and TV Awards on Sunday, Anthony told Variety he was initially 'horrified' upon learning his co-star will portray the rocker in the upcoming Hulu miniseries Pam and Tommy, opposite Lily James as Pamela Anderson.

Luckily, Anthony came around when he got a look at Sebastian in character for the show that centers on the former couple's marriage, not to mention the attention surrounding their stolen sex tape.

The Altered Carbon star shared, "He sent me a video on set and a few photos, and I was blown away. I was really surprised and impressed that he was able to do it."

He went on to explain his initial feelings, "I was horrified. I was like, 'What are you doing? You're playing Tommy Lee?' And the first picture he sent me, it's just humbling when you see your friend, and he succeeds. And he crushed it. I mean, he really was able to transform, and that's every actor's dream with every role you play."

The Hole singer posted, "I find this so f--king outrageous. My heart goes out to Pammy...further causing her complex trauma . And shame on lily James whoever the f--k she is."
