Pam & Tommy is finally here, and quite literally hours after release it has already set Twitter alight. From the NSFW scene everyone is talking about to the IRL drama surrounding the story of Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee's relationship and the theft of their infamous sex tape.
So, while you get stuck into the soon-to-be hit series, you should probably also know that the casting for Pam & Tommy was so accurate it's pretty impressive. That, and the hair, makeup and styling that turned the likes of Downton Abbey star Lily James into iconic 90s Pamela Anderson. So, if you want to know how good this behind-this-scenes work really was, take a look at the cast of Pam & Tommy versus their real life counterparts. It's impressive.
Lily James as Pamela Anderson
From the pencil-thin eyebrows to the square nails and bouncy blow-dry the resemblance is pretty impressive. You know straight away who James is playing, even if you had no idea about the show.
Pamela Anderson in 1995
Plenty of people weren't sure about James being cast as Anderson, but it looks like we've all been proved wrong.
Lily James in 2019
And here's a picture of non-Pammy Lily James for good measure.
Sebastian Stan as Tommy Lee
From the facial hair to the length of his sideburns, this is spot on.
Tommy Lee and Pamela Anderson in 1996
If looking back at these two has taught us anything, it's that none of us are wearing enough velvet.
Sebastian Stan in 2020
We wonder if he misses the tattoos?
Tommy Lee and Pamela Anderson
A lot of iconic moments were recreated for the series, including this infamous (and slightly painful looking) picture of Pamela and Tommy from the 90s.

Whoever did Stan's tattoos did an exceptional job.
Taylor Schilling and Seth Rogan as Erica and Rand Gauthier
Rand Gauthier was the disgruntled gardener who originally stole the safe containing the tape from Pam and Tommy's home where he worked. Along with Milton Ingley aka Uncle Miltie (played by Nick Offerman), the pair hatched a plan to sell the tape worldwide.
Not a lot of photos of Rand exist online but you can see a few here.
Nick Offerman as Milton "Uncle Miltie" Ingley
Much like Gauthier there aren't many pictures of Uncle Miltie online, since neither of them were famous like Pam and Tommy. There are a few here, but frankly we're quite into Offerman's personalised look.
