'I did a lot of fasting': Revisit Sebastian Stan's incredible transformation for Hulu's 'Pam & Tommy' unveiled!

Sebastian Stan's Transformation into Tommy Lee – A Look Back

"I basically did a lot of fasting and running on an empty stomach, which was really hard," Sebastian Stan told Esquire in February 2022 about his transformation into Tommy Lee for Hulu's limited series "Pam & Tommy" as reported by Insider.

The Diet That Rocked His World

Sebastian's preparation for the role was no small feat. He embarked on a demanding regimen that included fasting for 16 to 18 hours daily and walking 20,000 steps. "I was kind of just eating salads and avocado and almond butter, basically. It was tough." he said.

It was not just the physical transformation that required dedication but also Stan's ability to mimic Tommy Lee's drumming skills. As the man behind the Mötley Crüe drummer, Stan practiced with the drumsticks "at least three times a week."

From Marvel Star to Rock Star: Sebastian's Transformation

The transformation required more than diet and exercise. Stan's appearance was altered through a Brazilian straightening process and a blue-black dye job, all aiming to resemble Lee's appearance during the '90s. Fake tattoos were also part of the makeover, reapplied every three days as they faded.

The show's hairstylist, Barry Lee Moe, detailed the process to Variety, ensuring that each aspect of the transformation was as accurate as possible.

Bold Quotes and the Journey

The series set in the '90s uncovers the couple's passionate romance and the consequences of their leaked sex tape. It showcases the rigorous process that Stan undertook, encapsulated best in his own words: "I started sort of in January [2021]. [...] I kind of went, pretty much a vegan diet, except without the carbohydrates."

The first three episodes of "Pam & Tommy" were released on Hulu, with the remaining episodes dropping weekly. Sebastian Stan's commitment to the role is a shining example of what it takes to bring a real-life character to the screen.

Sebastian Stan's transformation into Tommy Lee was a testament to his devotion, discipline, and artistic integrity. An unforgettable portrayal that will continue to resonate with audiences for years to come.
