Kaia Gerber has a sizzling confession.
The model, 23, told the Hollywood Reporter Wednesday that the “most Hollywood thing” to happen in her life was going to school with Pamela Anderson.
Gerber said the “Baywatch” alum, 57, was actually a crossing guard at her elementary school and, despite being a Hollywood starlet, “she wore the yellow safety vest and everything.”
“I didn’t know how good I had it then,” the daughter of Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber added.
In a 2008 interview on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show,” Anderson got candid about balancing her job in Los Angeles with her Las Vegas gig in “Hans Klok: The Beauty of Magic.”
“I’m safety patrol on Mondays at my sons’ school with the neon vest and everything. It’s really hot,” the model gushed at the time, per CBS News.
“You help the children out to get to school,” Anderson continued. “You help them out of the car and then you shut the door.”
And due to the mom of two’s tight schedule, she had to show up to school duty with her glam stage makeup still on. “I get in around 3 or 4 in the morning and I’m up at 6:30 a.m. with my kids making breakfast, 8 a.m. at school and who washes their face? People always look at me funny anyway,” she recalled.
“I get a lot of high fives. [Other parents] think it’s funny that I’m there doing that. I’m a mom, you have to do it and I love it.”
Anderson is mom to sons Dylan, 26, and Brandon, 28, with ex Tommy Lee.
During an interview with Glamour in September, “The Last Showgirl” star reflected on how becoming a mom helped her stay on the right path in life.
“There were many times where I could have just gone that way, but what saved my life — and you never want to put this on your kids — were my boys,” she told the outlet. “Because without my boys, I wouldn’t have been able to be as strong as I was.”
Earlier this year, Anderson told Better Homes & Gardens that her boys are now “old enough now to understand the big picture.”
“Of course, over the years,” the icon explained, “they learned about things in my past, both age-appropriate and not age-appropriate.”
“Unfortunately, they thought I was taken advantage of in some ways,” Anderson confided to the outlet, noting how the “young, bold, hardworking men” offer their mother unwavering support and encouragement.
“They look at me and say, ‘Mom, this is your time,’ ” she added. “They told me, ‘Whatever you’ve created by being you, just keep being you. We’re going to try and find ways for you to keep doing what you love but also sharing it with people in a way where it benefits you too. You can create a life.’ ”
