Pamela Anderson “almost got killed” on a plane after being mistaken for someone else.
The 57-year-old actress was spotted by an angry man on a flight and he “tried to attack” her but it turned out that he had mistaken her for a member of girl group The Chicks
(formerly known as The Dixie Chicks).
Speaking on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, she explained: “This one time, I was on a flight and this guy came up to me and said, ‘Do you know what this country’s done for you?' and I was like, ‘Oh, my God. What have I done?’ And then I looked back at him and he’d [growl at me]. This stewardess had to handcuff him to the chair because he was trying to attack me. Yeah. And, it ended up, he thought I was a Dixie Chick. Remember that whole Dixie Chick thing? I almost got killed on a plane!”
The former Baywatch actress added that the whole incident left her slightly scared to fly afterwards, and recalled just turning around in her seat to look back at a man who was scowling at her the whole time.
She added: “When you look back and he’s like [scowling] at you. That was minor [though]! “I was scared to fly after that!”
