Pamela Anderson, 56, Has Supportive, Grown-Up Sons: Meet Brandon Thomas, 29, and Dylan Jagger Lee, 27
The 'Baywatch' star's sons are producing, cheering her on and helping their mom shine at 56
Pamela Anderson, who stars in the highly anticipated remake of The Naked Gun, has staged an impressive comeback in recent years. The former Baywatch star has taken a new path in her 50s, with bold creative projects like the 2023 documentary Pamela: A Love Story and the 2024 indie drama The Last Showgirl, and has shown audiences that she’s far more than just a ’90s sex symbol.
During the ’90s, the former Playboy Playmate seemed to be everywhere, and became a pop culture icon. Unfortunately, as was far too common at the time, she was often underestimated and subjected to sexism. When Anderson married Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee in 1995 after knowing him for only four days, the media went into overdrive, and the couple was painted as the very picture of that era’s excesses.
Anderson and Lee’s marriage was turbulent, as the couple infamously had a personal sex tape stolen from their home and sold to the public, and Lee was charged with physically abusing her, leading to their 1998 divorce and subsequent custody battle for their two sons. After their divorce, the high-profile couple had an on-and-off relationship.
Today, Anderson and Lee’s two sons, Brandon and Dylan, are fully supporting their mom’s new era. Having grown up in the public eye, they’re now following creative pursuits and avoiding tabloid chaos. Read on to learn more about what they’ve been up to.
Brandon Thomas Lee: From acting to producing his mom’s projects
Anderson’s older son, Brandon Thomas Lee, 29, born in 1996, started out as an actor and reality TV star, making a meta cameo opposite his mom in the 2017 Baywatch movie and appearing in films like Sierra Burgess Is a Loser (2018), Blackjack: The Jackie Ryan Story (2020), Cosmic Sin (2021) and God Is a Bullet (2023). From 2019 to 2021 he was part of the reality show The Hills: New Beginnings.
Brandon is also an investor, and launched a line of golf clothes, Swingers Club, in 2021. More recently, he’s been involved with the launch of his mom’s skincare brand, Sonsie.
Brandon has been a driving force in Pamela’s comeback, as he served as an executive producer on her shows Pamela’s Garden of Eden (2022) and Pamela’s Cooking With Love (2025), as well as producing Pamela: A Love Story and The Last Showgirl.
It was Brandon who passed the screenplay for The Last Showgirl to his mom after her former agent initially turned it down, and he told Variety that his goal is to continue helping her succeed and prove the naysayers wrong, saying, “My personal mission was to give my mom the opportunities she gave me as a child. She would do anything for me. She showed up and was a very good mother. And at a certain point in your life, you become a protector. I knew from a very early age that I was going to eventually be the one that put the stake in the ground for my family and rally around that.”
Dylan Jagger Lee: From modeling to rocking out like his dad
Anderson’s younger son, Dylan Jagger Lee, born in 1997, started out as a model, and worked with brands like Saint Laurent, Armani Exchange, Coach and Dolce & Gabbana. He then followed in his dad’s musical footsteps as part of the band Midnight Kids, which he left in 2021. Currently, Dylan is in the band Jardin Du Son.
Dylan has also supported his mom’s comeback by appearing on her cooking shows and helping her start her skincare line. When Pamela: A Love Story was released, he shared a brief but heartfelt post on Instagram, saying, “I’m beyond proud of my mom and my family. Let the truth be told.”
Dylan and Brandon have both shown up alongside their mom on the red carpet, and in her 2023 memoir, Love, Pamela, she wrote that her two sons, “are true miracles, considering their gene pool. They have been through so much, yet they are not full of holes.” She has also outlined the differences in their personalities, telling People, “Brandon is really creative and is this fiery kind of kid. Dylan is more introspective and more Zen. It’s a good team.” Clearly, Dylan and Brandon work well together, and the way they’ve rallied around their mom and encouraged her triumphant second act has been lovely to see.
