Pamela Anderson will appear in Dwayne Johnson’s Baywatch

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

Last month we learned that David Hasselhoff will appear in director Seth Gordon's BAYWATCH, and last night star Dwayne Johnson announced on his Instagram that Pamela Anderson has also joined the cast of the comedy.

Anderson played C.J. Parker for five seasons of the original television series, however model Kelly Rohrbach will portray the character in the feature film version, which also stars Zac Efron and True Detective's Alexandra Daddario.

 

She introduced the world to "CJ Parker" and became one of the most iconic characters of a generation – for the most successful TV show of all time. A pleasure to welcome (as gorgeous as ever) Pamela Anderson to our #BAYWATCH cast. We couldn't have made this movie without you. Welcome home. Thrilled you had a blast with us! #BAYWATCH MAY 19, 2017. #PamAnderson #OS #OriginalSmokestack

Although Anderson wasn't that happy about the plans for the project when it was first announced, a couple of months ago the actress revealed that she had been offered a role in the movie, but at the time she wasn't too thrilled about the part. I wonder what changed her mind?

BAYWATCH is currently filming for its May 19, 2017 release.
