Vladimir Putin is in the news for all the wrong reasons at the moment as his misguided attempt at invading Ukraine continues in earnest and it’s been a pretty uncomfortable time for any celebrities that have ties with him as they’ve been roundly condemned.

Strangely enough, I didn’t expect one of those celebrities to be Pamela Anderson, but apparently she shares a friendship with the President of Russia according to the clip below that has resurfaced over the weekend. Maybe he was a huge fan of ‘Baywatch’ or something?

Anyway, the video comes from an episode of Piers Morgan’s life stories and features the former model explaining that she wrote a letter to Putin back in 2009 after she learned that 1700 tons of endangered fin whale meat was due to pass through Russian waters, asking him if he could do anything about it. Putin was clearly enamoured with the letter and her request as he subsequently made it illegal to import seal products into the country. What a result!

I bet you’re all thinking what I’m thinking and Piers Morgan did as well, asking her if she ever hooked up with Putin, but Anderson sadly refused to answer that one. Probably a wise move for everyone involved.

Anyway, not really sure what to make of that. Most people on the internet are saying that Pamela Anderson might be the only person who can talk some sense into Putin and get him to abort the invasion of Ukraine, but I don’t think any amount of strongly worded letters from former Playboy bunnies are going to make him change his mind on this one. Can’t hurt for her to try though I suppose. Or maybe she cares more about animals that Ukrainians and doesn’t want to life a finger. We’ll see what happens I guess.

For more of the same, check out when Pamela Anderson divorced her fifth husband last year. Really dumb reason.
