DWAYNE ‘The Rock’ Johnson has revealed he will star in a Baywatch reboot, promising his Instagram fans that the movie will not disappoint.

The high profile wrestler and Hollywood actor posted a photo to Instagram of himself on a jetski, saying: “This is my beach b*tch!.”

“Rumours are true... we’re making #BAYWATCH the movie. Edgy, raunchy and hopefully, funny as all hell. Cue slo mo running on the beach... #WhoNeedsMouthToMouth #RedShortsBeHugginABrotha.”

Once Johnson, 42, started spreading the news, social media was in a spin.

Some were even more interested in whether David Hasselhoff aka ‘The Hoff’ would be starring alongside Johnson.

All well and good that The Rock is loosely attached to a Baywatch movie, but what I want to know is what about The Hoff?
