  • Actress Pamela Anderson wrote in her memoir that she spent a "drunken" night with Julian Assange, The Sunday Times reported.

  • At the time, Assange was still residing at an Ecuadorian Embassy in London in political asylum.

  • Anderson reportedly described her friendship with Assange in an excerpt from her book "Love, Pamela."

Actress Pamela Anderson said she once joked about marrying her longtime friend Julian Assange, the WikiLeaks founder, according to The Sunday Times.

In her new memoir "Love, Pamela," Anderson recalled visiting Assange and joking about marrying him after a "drunken night" together during his 6.5-year political asylum stay at the Ecuadorian Embassy in London, according to the outlet.

"One night, Julian and I shared a strong bottle of mescal. We passed out, and I woke up at four in the morning with his cat on my chest," Anderson wrote, the outlet reported. "We'd both fallen asleep following a slightly frisky, fun, alcohol-induced night together. My car was still waiting outside, and I'm sure that sent some tongues wagging."

She added: "We joked about getting hitched on the front steps of the embassy – maybe then they wouldn't arrest him? But then again, he joked, why would he give up one prison for another?"

Assange remained at the embassy from 2012 to 2019; Anderson began visiting him in late 2016, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The legendary "Baywatch" star wrote that their friendship over the years was "invigorating, sexy, and funny," adding that Assange's sense of humor was "alarmingly smart." They would discuss world issues over the vegan meals she brought him, Anderson recalled.

"Through our colourful conversations, Julian taught me so much about the world. He reminded me a lot of my grandpa in that way. Julian would draw diagrams about any topic and loved to solve problems, no matter how small or how large," Anderson wrote in "Love, Pamela," according to The Sunday Times.

During his time at the embassy, Assange cultivated a network of visitors, including political activist Rev. Jesse Jackson, fashion designer Vivienne Westwood, whose funeral Assange recently was not permitted to attend, and soccer player Eric Cantona, Insider previously reported.

In 2019, Assange was imprisoned by London authorities and has remained in prison fighting an extradition order to the United States, according to The Washington Post.
