Pamela Anderson “almost got killed,” she shared, when a man mistook her for someone else on a plane.

The “Baywatch” star, 57, revealed on the Happy Sad Confused podcast an irate man “tried to attack” her because he thought Anderson was a member of the Chicks.

“This one time, I was on a flight and this guy came up to me and said, ‘Do you know what this country’s done for you?’” she said.

The Chicks made headlines in 2003 when Natalie Maines was critical then-President George W. Bush after the United States’ invasion of Iraq.
