**Las Vegas, NV** – Pamela Anderson revealed a surprising behind-the-scenes secret from the new film, “The Last Showgirl,” during a recent appearance on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.” The actress admitted she was unaware that her co-star, Dave Bautista, was bald until after filming had begun. Anderson, who plays veteran Las Vegas showgirl Shelly, only saw Bautista in his character’s wig during production. Seeing him without the wig at a party afterwards left her stunned.

“He’s such a gentle giant,” Anderson shared. “I didn’t know he didn’t have hair! I saw him with the wig, and then I saw him at the party and I was like, ‘Oh my gosh!'”

The film, directed by Gia Coppola, also features Bautista as the venue’s producer, Eddie. Anderson’s performance has garnered critical acclaim, earning her Golden Globe and SAG Award nominations. The actress prepared for her role by meeting with real Las Vegas showgirls, even inviting them to her home for tea and conversation.

Meanwhile, co-star Brenda Song revealed that Anderson’s makeup-free approach influenced the rest of the cast. For scenes outside of the showgirl performances, the actresses opted for a natural, no-makeup look, inspired by Anderson’s preference for authenticity. Anderson herself explained her decision, stating she wanted to portray the rawness and reality of her character, Shelly. “I didn’t want that to be in my head at all about the way that I looked,” she said, referring to her own reflection while preparing for the role. “I just wanted it to be raw and real.”
