'Everyone deserves love': Pamela Anderson opens up about her relationship with Julian Assange

Is this the strangest celebrity 'couple' of the century?

Pamela Anderson has opened up somewhat about her relationship with Julian Assange, which blossomed as she brought him vegan food to the Ecuadorian Embassy, where he is hiding from Swedish authorities. 

While remaining quite coy about the nature of her relationship with the fugitive, she told People: “Julian is trying to free the world by educating it. It is a romantic struggle — I love him for this.

“I understand that our ‘affair’ and the curiosity surrounding that might bring some attention to his situation. That’s fine, but I’d rather not go into private details. Let’s just say everyone deserves love.”

She described her relationship with Mr Assange as "challenging" but she enjoys the deep conversations they have together.

Ms Anderson said: “He’s a very good teacher. Julian is one of my favorite people. He is a refugee. He might be the most famous, refugee of our time— famous for being persecuted.”

The Baywatch star commented on her similarities with the Wikileaks founder.

“I’m very concerned about his well-being and safety,” she said.

“I’m very moody. I wouldn’t say I’m a happy person. I’m tormented and love sick always. It’s hard to find relief sometimes,” she revealed.

“I’m trying to not feel lonely. But, I hurt a lot about so many things.  I’m a romantic- it makes my stomach hurt.”
