The upcoming Baywatch movie is way dirtier than the TV series says The Rock

FOR those who thought the iconic lifeguard series was naughty, The Rock is claiming the raunchy movie remake is way dirtier than the original show.

THE new Baywatch film is “far dirtier” than the TV series with “more gratuitous boobs per minute than you can imagine”, leading man Dwayne Johnson has vowed.

Former wrestler The Rock, 44, jumped at the chance to make a movie version of the iconic TV series — which he claims “looks like children’s TV” compared to the filthy big screen version, The Sun reports.

The lifeguard series ran from 1989 to 2001 and made superstars of Pamela Anderson and David Hasselhoff.

He laughed: “ We are far dirtier than the show ever was — obviously the show was a family show on at family time of day — but in the movie we could have been dirtier.

“I think people are going to be shocked that Baywatch has got dirty — but there are a lot of laughs.

“We worked hard to make sure the flesh quota was high, there’s more gratuitous boobs, bums, abs, whatever per minute than you can imagine. Plot was important, don’t get me wrong, but so was sorting out our slow motion runs.

Actress Kelly Rohrbach stars in the new Baywatch.

Alexandra Daddario will star as Summer, a love interest for Zac Efron’s character.

“There’s less chest hair though but I like to think I have done the TV show justice in other ways. We have the Hoff on board keeping that vibe going.”

As well as David Hasselhoff, Pamela Anderson will also appear in the remake.

Muscular Dwayne, who is also starring in the latest Fast and Furious movie and a Jumanji reboot, said he was jealous of co-star Zac Efron’s abs.

He laughed: “The ladies were too impressed for my liking with Zac’s body when he was filming. They thought he’d sprayed on his abs. I’d like to say that’s true but I have to give him credit, he worked hard — we all wanted to keep the airbrushing budget low.”
