Spend enough time flicking through DSTV and you will invariably come across a Baywatch rerun from back in the day. The Hof is there, his chest hair blowing in the wind, but it’s the one and only Pamela Anderson who stole show with her immense, um, acting prowess.

Now Hollywood have green lit a Baywatch movie and, despite the fact that Pamela could probably reprise her role as C.J. (seriously, she’s still got it), they’ve cast Sports Illustrated swimsuit model-turned-actress Kelly Rohrbach.

If the name sounds familiar you may know her from dating Leonardo DiCaprio [pics HERE], although it is reported that they have subsequently split. Kelly will star alongside Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, who announced the news on Instagram.

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).

Looks like he really put her through her paces. Don’t worry Pamela, to those of us who happened to watch the original you’ll never be topped.
