Sebastian Stan shows off drumstick-twirling skills as he preps for Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee TV series

Sebastian Stan has shown off his drumstick-twirling skills while prepping for his performance as Tommy Lee in the upcoming TV series about the rock musician’s relationship with Pamela Anderson.

Marvel star Sebastian, 38, is set to star opposite The Pursuit of Love actor Lily James, 32, in Pam and Tommy, a show about the couple that’s due to air on American network Hulu.

The mini-series will depict Pamela and Tommy’s whirlwind marriage in the 1990s and the infamous leak of their sex tape, which they filmed on their honeymoon.

When fans were treated to the first official look at Lily and Sebastian in character, they were astounded by the actors’ incredible transformations, with Sebastian sporting Tommy’s tattoos and piercings.

The Falcon and The Winter Soldier actor has now shared a glimpse at how his musical skills are faring as he embodies the persona of the Mötley Crüe rocker.

In a video shared on Instagram, Sebastian filmed himself twirling a drumstick with his fingers while wearing a white T-shirt, with fake tattoos visible on his arm and neck.

Captioning the post ‘Sunday workout’, the actor playfully poked his tongue out during the clip.

Several Instagram users pointed out that Sebastian’s knife skills – which he honed while playing Bucky Barnes, aka The Winter Soldier, in the Marvel Cinematic Universe – likely came in handy for his new role.

‘Like knife twirling only cooler,’ one person commented.

‘Looks like your winter soldier knife skills paid off,’ another said.

Earlier this month, Sebastian shared a picture of himself as Tommy leaning on the hood of a car while sticking his middle finger up at the camera.

‘“We don’t stop playing because we grow old, we grow old because we stop playing.” – Tommy Lee #mightymousealwaysgetsthegirl #pamandtommy,’ he wrote in the caption.

While numerous fans can’t wait to watch Pam and Tommy, it recently emerged that Pamela has ‘no intention’ of watching the series.

A friend of Pamela’s reportedly told The Sun that she thought the show was a ‘cheap knock-off’, adding that ‘the whole thing is a joke’ to her and her family.

Pamela’s friend, Courtney Love, spoke out in defence of the model in a Facebook post, describing the mini-series as ‘f***ing outrageous’.

Courtney wrote that the leak of her and Tommy’s sex tape ‘destroyed’ Pamela’s life, writing: ‘My heart goes out to Pammy. Further causing her complex trauma.’

The singer-songwriter added: ‘And shame on Lily James whoever the f*** she is.’

Pam and Tommy is expected to air on Hulu later this year.
