Here's a twosome you may not have been expecting.

Pamela Anderson, 49,has penned a passionate defense of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, 45, calling him both"the most intelligent, interesting, and informed man in existence" and "quite sexy" to boot.

The actress, who has saidshe met Assange through designer Vivienne Westwood,has been spotted visiting the WikiLeaks founderat the Ecuadorian Embassy in London, where he has been holed upfor four years, even bringing him a vegan lunch in October.

"Yes- I think he's quite sexy," Anderson wrote in a March 9blog post on her website. "He has tremendous strength and stamina though vulnerable. Hard to imagine him that way as capable as he is. But, he is up against the biggest super powers in the world. I've spent enough time with him, to be absolutely sure of his intentions. They are good ones."

And on Feb 27, she wrote: "I have had more stimulating conversation with this man than all my ex-husbands and lovers combined."

Assange sought political asylum inJune 2012 after a European arrest warrantwas issued against him by Swedish authorities. Two women accused him of intentionally taking off or tampering with condoms, without consent, during sex.

Assange denies the rape allegation. He faces arrest by British police if he leaves the embassy before the statute of limitation runs out on the remaining charges in 2020.

Anderson calls the rape allegations levied against Assange "defamation," arguing,"There is no rape. It is a case of condom or not. It is ridiculous." She continues: "It is complex and there are powerful people trying to control the outcome."

Anderson closes her essay by saying: "I will always stand by My Julian ..."

In a February radio interview, Assange called Anderson "an attractive person with an attractive personality and whip smart" but declined to confirm a romantic relationship.

On Tuesday, WikiLeaks publishedthousands of documents it says detailCIA tools for hacking into web servers, computers, smartphones and even TVs that can be turned into covert microphones.

The Trump administrationrefused to confirm or deny the authenticity of the leaks.
