Kelly Rohrbach cast as CJ Parker in Baywatch movie

Kelly Rohrbach has been cast in the iconic role of C.J. Parker in the upcoming Baywatch movie. Dwayne Johnson will play the lead role of Mitch Buchannon in the planned movie, the role that David Hasselhoff played in the iconic 1990s TV series.

Zac Efron will also star in the upcoming action/ comedy, as well as Johnson’s San Andreas co-star Alexandra Daddario, who takes the role of Summer (played by Nicole Eggert in the series).

The film version will follow two unlikely prospective lifeguards who vie for jobs alongside the buff bodies who patrol a beach in California.

Rohrbach will slip into the C.J. Parker’s red swimsuit that was made famous by Pamela Anderson. The film will be helmed by Seth Gordon (Horrible Bosses).

Here’s how Rohrback’s was announced via Johnson’s social media yesterday.

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… ???????????????????????? (last emoji somewhat inappropriate).
