Former Baywatch babe Carmen Electra,who shot to fame after posing for Playboy in 1996, braved Britain’s cold snap at the UK premiere of her latest film, I Want Candy. The American actress, visibly shivering at the event in London’s Leicester Square on Tuesday night, stars in the British-based comedy.
The actress said she jumped at the chance to take part in the film and said. “It was a great opportunity to work in London and with a British cast.
“They were so professional and sweet - we had a great time. You have to just go for it in a movie like this, because playing a porn star, you know, you could get very shy and intimidated at times.
“But I think it was done very tastefully, so I didn’t feel really that uncomfortable at any point.”

Carmen Electra researched her latest movie role as a porn star by digging out her own collection of X-rated films. The 34-year-old says, “I’m no stranger to watching porn but I did sort of have to brush up on a couple, you know, dusted off a few old porn films in the closet.
“I thought it would be really fun to play a porn star in a way that’s really smart and funny and sweet.”
She went on: “You have to just go for it in a movie like this, because playing a porn star, you know, you could get very shy and intimidated at times. But I think it was done very tastefully, so I didn’t feel really that uncomfortable at any point.”
Her young British co-star Tom Riley, a relative unknown until now, admitted he was somewhat starstruck at the start of filming.
“Carmen had this kind of aura about her, because she is who she is, on the first couple of days on set. Then after a while you get used to who she is and what she does. She is so easy to be around.”
