Sebastian Stan says that losing weight to play Tommy Lee on Pam & Tommy helped contribute to his body dysmorphia

Entertainment Weekly

Stan went from bulking up for Marvel's Falcon and the Winter Soldier to losing a drastic amount of weight to play the Mötley Crüe drummer on the Hulu limited series. "I was trying to lose weight and I still felt I didn't lose enough weight," Stan tells EW. "And people were telling me I was crazy and going, 'You have body dysmorphia now' — which I always did anyway." He adds: "Anybody that even has a healthy physique to some extent has body dysmorphia. Because once you're going into a peak, the best look possible, which by the way, I don't care what they say, unless there's like, magic formulas out there — which there are but some of us are not in that pocket — your body can only be at peak 100 percent for like maybe a week or something. At least, how I've experienced it; and I mean diet and exercise and tanning and water and lighting and everything. And then you spend the rest of the time going, 'I'm not what I used to be.' But it's just all in the head." ALSO: Dolly Parton initially turned down the use of her song on Pam & Tommy, so music supervisor Amanda Thomas had to (successfully) re-pitch her.
