How Pamela Anderson's Sons Found Out About Her Fame

"Why are people saying these things?" they asked her.

Brandon, 19, and Dylan, 17, her children with ex Tommy Lee, were too young when the show was a hit in the '90s, so they were caught off guard one year when they started going to surf camp and found out about their famous heartthrob of a mom.

“They came up to me and they said, ‘Mom, are you Pamela Anderson?’ And I said ‘Yeah,'" she told People magazine of their first day at camp years back. "They were like, ‘What is that?’ And ’Why are people saying these things? Are you Pamela Anderson for real?'"

It was such a surprise to the boys because they knew their father was a rock star, but they thought Anderson, 48, was just a soccer mom.

“I built my whole life around them — like their soccer games were in my contracts," she added.
