Model Kelly Rohrbach has earned the role that could make her a star in Hollywood. She has been cast as CJ Parker in the Baywatch movie.
Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson posted three videos on his Instagram page to introduce Rohrbach in the role Pamela Anderson had in the original Baywatch TV series.
“A pleasure welcoming @kellyrohrbach to our #BAYWATCH family for the iconic role of ‘CJ Parker,’” Johnson wrote. “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.”
Rohrbach, who gained attention as the latest model to date Leonardo DiCaprio, also appeared on The New Normal and Two And A Half-Men. The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition model is also slated to have a role in the next Woody Allen movie.
The Rock has been using his Instagram page to announce the casting of Baywatch as the movie nears production. The film will also star Alexandra Daddario and Zac Efron. Seth Gordon (Horrible Bosses) will direct the “badass” (as Efron has said) movie.
Baywatch is expected to be ready for 2017. The original series ran from 1989 to 2001.
