“It was an unreal tsunami in the industry for private property being stolen by a hacking, and I was one of those people,” she told Insider.

“I remember having to talk to an FBI recovering agent for a week or so about that property being stolen and it was so humiliating, and for me, it was so personal,” she added.

She opened up about connecting for this new project, and meeting with Lily James.

“Lily and I just connected about it and it became about how do we take this story and do it justice by not allowing for exploitation to yet again be the focal point,” she said.

“Reading through the series, I realized this is shockingly intelligent in its way of addressing exploitation while allowing for the viewer to laugh and enjoy.”

“The disorientation that Pam Anderson felt when her stuff went viral, which wasn’t even the word at the time, I just have that knowledge. When I got hacked I went, ‘F–k!’ It feels gross,” she went on to say.

“When the hack happened I wasn’t like, ‘I don’t even know what you’re talking about,’ but with Pam, she says, ‘There could be hundreds of copies out there,’ and it’s just like bless. Because in reality, even back then, it was millions.”

Sebastian Stan revealed what he put into his pants to get into the role.
