Fans have been left concerned after watching a recent interview with Carmen Electra that some have described as 'painful'.

Electra is undoubtedly best known for her starring role in Baywatch, and she rarely goes through an interview without that movie being mentioned.

Recently, the actor appeared on Dear Media's The Skinny Confidential with Lauryn Bosstick.

Funnily enough, this coincided with Baywatch's 35th anniversary, so, of course, it was a topic for discussion.

The interview has sparked concern, however, amongst fans, with some even dubbing the discussion a 'painful' watch.

Meanwhile, others stated the Baywatch star could 'barely speak'.

"She seems so highly medicated that she can hardly get her words out. This was a painful listen. I can't imagine sitting there and trying to pretend everything was normal," one person penned on social media.

"This was rough to watch, had a hard time finishing the whole video! She was all over the place, was hoping for a good interview," a second added.

Amid all the concern, a source close to Electra confirmed to the DailyMail that the actor's demeanour was due to a recent battle with Covid.

The illness coincided with the Baywatch tour, so it's certainly understandable Electra wasn't on top form.

UNILAD has reached out to Electra's representatives for comment.

Electra's role in Baywatch has meant she has received a lot of attention over the years, and she was asked by Extra if she ever felt pressured by the beauty standards set by the TV series.

"I did, because I was always told that I need to lose weight," Electra replied.

"I grew up studying classical ballet and that was what was happening in my life. So I think as time went on, I would still listen to that and take it to heart."

Electra went on to say she can now look back and appreciate her body exactly as it was while appearing on Baywatch, sharing: "When I look back, I love my body and I love that I was curvy, and not like, straight up and down.

"Those times have changed. You can't do that anymore.

"It was kind of the beginning of those times where producers could come to you and say, 'You need to stop eating some snacks'.

"For that moment, I really did take it seriously as a professional dancer because that was always engraved into my mind growing up."
