While many praised their red carpet moment, some social media followers were quick to notice details in the images that prompted buzz online, particularly Lee’s hands.
On Facebook, commenters reacted with curiosity and humor. One person wrote, “He’s got six fingers.” Another said, “those fingers are the same size they do look strange [sic].” A third commented, “Why does his hand look like it has extra fingers? Lol.”
On Instagram, similar remarks followed. One commenter posted, “His hands look AI generated [sic]. Lol, I can’t unsee it.” Another asked, “What’s with his hands?” A different commenter added, “Who is his dad [?]”
TikTok viewers also weighed in, but many shifted focus to his resemblance to his father, Tommy Lee. “Wow her son look so clean cut. Hard to believe Tommy Lee is the father [sic],” quipped one person.
“He looks like better and clean version of Tommy Lee [sic],” divulged yet another netizen.
Lee’s appearance at the Met Gala was not just about fashion. It followed a significant year for both him and his mother, Anderson. Lee, who has transitioned from acting to producing, played a key role in shaping the direction of Anderson’s recent career revival.
He served as an executive producer on “The Last Showgirl,” a film that marked a turning point for the actress. In “The Last Showgirl,” Anderson portrays Shelly, a longtime Las Vegas dancer facing the end of her career when the revue she performs in shuts down after 30 years.
As she confronts this life change, her estranged daughter, played by Billie Lourd, reenters her life. The performance earned Anderson critical praise and a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actress in a Motion Picture – Drama.
For Lee, the recognition meant more than an industry milestone. Speaking about the nomination, he said, “It means the culmination of a very long road and a lot of hard work, and the crescendo of an amazing moment that really only marks the beginning for her.”
He noted the emotional weight of the moment, reflecting on how his mother always reminded him that proving herself would be a lifelong journey. “She was going to have to always going to have to prove herself to people, and we would always have to do that,” he shared.
Over the years, Anderson had become associated with her early roles and public image, from her time as a Playboy Playmate to her iconic part in “Baywatch” and the intense media coverage of her marriage to musician Tommy Lee.
But “The Last Showgirl” offered something different: a role grounded in emotional depth and real-life parallels.
Lee recounted how the script nearly slipped past Anderson entirely. Her former agent reportedly dismissed the project before even presenting it to her. But Lee came across it and immediately sensed its potential.
“When I first laid eyes on it, I wasn’t really used to looking at projects like that for Pamela. It was such a breath of fresh air,” he explained.
After meeting with director Gia Coppola and producer Robert Schwartzman, he felt confident they could guide the film in the right direction. “It just became such a no-brainer and such a fantastic opportunity,” he said.
According to Lee, Anderson instantly connected with the character. “She read it and said, ‘I want to do it.’ There was no deliberation around it,” he recalled.
