The lifeguard team has been assembled.
Dwayne Johnson has been calling the cast of the new Baywatch film the “Avengers of the beach,” and in an Instagram post, the leading man showed why:
Johnson and his crew, which includes Kelly Rohrbach, Alexandra Daddario, Ilfenesh Hadera, Zac Efron, and Jon Bass—but not, it seems, co-star Priyanka Chopra—run down the beach in a homage shot to the original Baywatch television series. (Mental note: Running in slow motion “makes everyone’s kibbles and bits look sexy.”)
Johnson and Efron look absolutely jacked—even more so than usual—as they rush into action. The two stars have been working out like madmen for the film (tire flipping included), and this picture really shows off the fruits of their labor. Efron might even give Johnson a run for his money as the most chiseled actor in the film, even if he lost to The Rock in an on-set pullup contest.

Johnson has been working non-stop in 2016—he has Baywatch, Fast 8, the second season of Ballers, and the Jumanji remake coming down the pipeline—but he also took the time out of shooting to meet a fan and his family while filming on the beach. Dwayne Johnson: action star, real-life hero.
While Baywatch has plenty of action, it’s been billed as a mostly raunchy R-rated comedy. Evidence: Johnson also posted a behind-the-scenes look as the crew got Bass’, um, package, ready for a scene.
“Dreams come true on the set of Baywatch.”
They do indeed.
