Kelly Rohrbach has joined the cast of the ‘Baywatch’ movie.
The Sports Illustrated model – who recently split from Leonardo DiCaprio – joins Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson and Zac Efron in the big-screen remake of the TV series.
Kelly, 25, will take over the role of lifeguard CJ Parker, made famous by Pamela Anderson.
The Rock announced the casting news in a series of funny videos on his Instagram, in which he put Kelly through her paces.
He captioned one video: "For our #BAYWATCH and the iconic role of "CJ Parker" I had to make sure @kellyrohrbach was gorgeous running in SLO-MO…." and in another clip which sees him push the blonde beauty over, he added: "For our #BAYWATCH and the iconic role of "CJ Parker" I had to make sure @kellyrohrbach was… tough (sic)."
However, he then got serious and praised the model as "smart, tough and funny".
He wrote: "A pleasure welcoming @kellyrohrbach to our #BAYWATCH family for the iconic role of "CJ Parker". Yes, she’s a walking smoke stack but more importantly… she’s smart, tough and funny. Just the way we like ’em. Get ready world, we can’t wait to bring you our generation’s #BAYWATCH! You’ll have fun… (sic)."
