Pamela Anderson has played C.J. Parker — who enjoys long, slow-motion walks on the beach and wailing on the saxophone — in Baywatch, Baywatch the Movie: Forbidden Paradise, and Baywatch: Hawaiian Wedding. But the Borat kidnapping victim won’t portray the world’s most famous lifeguard in Seth Gordon’s upcoming Baywatch movie. That red-swimsuited honor went to Kelly Rohrbach, who joins Dwayne Johnson, Zac Efron, Alexandra Daddario, and Priyanka Chopra in the most attractive cast ever. But, as announced by The Rock, Anderson will factor into the future Best Picture winner somehow.
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! #PamAnderson #OS #OriginalSmokestack (Via)
Anderson initially turned down a role in the movie, but added, “It’s an honor to have them want me to be a part of it so bad.” Apparently, The Rock, or maybe David Hasselhoff, made her an offer she couldn’t refuse. It probably involved saving a youth center with Hulk Hogan. (Baywatch was a weird show.)
