Lily James and Sebastian Stan have been pictured recreating the shocking moment when Pamela Anderson married Mötley Crüe rocker Tommy Lee after having known each other for just 96 hours. 

The actors were seen filming outside a church in Los Angeles over the weekend for their hotly-anticipated TV miniseries Pam & Tommy, which details the wild antics of former hell-raisers Anderson, 53, and Lee, 58.  

However, Lily, 32, and Sebastian, 38, appeared to be dramatizing a different scenario surrounding the controversial marriage for the Hulu drama, as in real life the infamous celebrity couple got married in Mexico. 

The Baywatch icon and the drummer famously tied the knot on Feb. 19, 1995, on a beach in Cancun, Mexico, in front of just eight guests after a four-day courtship period.   

The union not only shocked the world, but also friends and family, including Anderson’s own mother Carol who told People Magazine at the time that it was ‘heartbreaking and shocking’ for her.  

Anderson’s mother apparently didn’t know Tommy and had never met the rocker. Still, their publicist at the time, Michelle Bega, said the couple were ‘thrilled and very happy.’

According to reports at the time, the newlyweds are said to have walked to the end of a pier where Lee pushed Anderson in the water. Lee was 32 years old at the time, while Anderson was 27.

After the wedding, Pammy and Tommy are said to have visited a tattoo parlor where they got matching wedding band inkings on their ring fingers. 

While many predicted that the whirlwind romance wouldn’t last longer than a few days, Anderson and Lee went on to have a three-year marriage, having two children together, and controversially, a leaked sex tape that was filmed during their honeymoon.

The former couple share two sons, Brandon Thomas Lee, 25, and Dylan Jagger Lee, 23.

During the latest scenes from the upcoming show, Downton Abbey star Lily once again wowed with her dramatic transformation for playing the star, dressed in a red PVC ensemble that Pamela was seen wearing around the time of the marriage.

Meanwhile Romanian-American actor Sebastian bared his chest in an open black shirt, which showed off the same tattoos that the Mötley Crüe star is known for.  

At one point, Sebastian was seen picking up an overjoyed Lily as the pair looked to be filming scenes where the couple had just got hitched in outfits that were decidedly not marriage material. 

For the real wedding, Pammy wore a white bikini while Tommy went casual in Bermuda shorts, with no shirt or shoes.

‘The bride wore a very tiny – an extremely tiny – white bikini,’ Judge Pedro Solis told reporters at the time in 1995.

While there has been notable excitement surrounding the project, Pamela herself is said to be unhappy about the unauthorized re-telling of her romance.  

Last month, insiders claimed to The Sun that the star has branded the series as ‘a joke and cheap knock-off’. 

An insider said Pamela deems the ‘God awful’ programme as ‘a joke’ and has never heard of Lily or Sebastian, who have already been praised for their transformation – although seemingly without Pamela’s seal of approval. 

The source claimed: ‘One of the iconic star’s friends told The Sun: ‘Pamela has no intention of watching this God awful show, absolutely not. Never…’ 

‘She’s never heard of the actors playing her or Tommy, and doesn’t care to know them. She and her family think the show is a cheap knock-off.’ The insider then added: ‘The whole thing is a joke to them.’ 

Also trashing show recently, was Pamela’s friend Courtney Love who issued a fiery takedown of the show last year.

The Hole singer stood up for her friend in a lengthy post shared to her Facebook account last month, where she recounted the aftermath of the tape’s release and slammed actress Lily James, who is playing Pamela, as ‘whoever the f**k she is.’

In her impassioned message, Love, 56, wrote: ‘I find this so f**king outrageous . When Pam / tommy sex tape was out / myself @pattyschemel @xmadmx were making a record. And the lone women in many recording studios in la….’

‘Where all / ALL! The staff engineers / producers / owners / were watching the sex tape with huge schadenfraude . . Guffaws , It was disgusting . I banned anyone discussing it. It destroyed my friend Pamelas life . Utterly.’

Courtney even shot down a request made by the mini-series, which is currently filming, over usage of a Rolling Stone cover she once appeared on.

‘Last week I was asked to approve using a rolling stone cover of mine / shot by mark seliger in this piece of s**t . That they had approved . I said “f**k no .” shocked . Gentleman don’t approve this sort of thing . My heart goes out to Pammy…’

‘(heart emojis). further causing her complex trauma . And shame on lily James whoever the f**k she is . #vile.’

The film also stars Seth Rogen as the man who steals their sex tape and sells it to a porn company.
