Baywatch movie “far dirtier” than the TV show says Dwayne Johnson

April 11, 2017 by Samuel Brace

Dwayne Johnson, star of the Baywatch movie, says the film is “far dirtier” than the series from which it is based.

Those who remember the original series will recall that it was pretty racy, and in fact was the reason many people tuned in.

Well, according to actor Dwayne Johnson, who stars in the Paramount feature, fans can expect the movie version to include more of the same and to go even further.

“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,” Johnson – aka The Rock – told The Sun. “I think people are going to be shocked that Baywatch has got dirty, but there are a lot of laughs.”

And his quotes about the gratuity on display didn’t stop there, with Johnson adding: “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.”

Well, this will certainly please a certain type of audience member, and let’s face it, if your lining up for Baywatch come opening night, this is probably what you want.

BAYWATCH follows devoted lifeguard Mitch Buchannon (Dwayne Johnson) as he butts heads with a brash new recruit (Zac Efron). Together, they uncover a local criminal plot that threatens the future of the Bay.

Baywatch is set for release on May 26th in the US and May 29th in the UK and sees Dwayne Johnson (Fast & Furious 7) leading the cast alongside Zac Efron (Dirty Grandpa), Alexandra Daddario (San Andreas), Kelly Rohrbach (Two and a Half Men), Priyanka Chopra (Quantico), Jon Bass (Big Tim in Hollywood, FL), Hannibal Buress (Daddy’s Home), Belinda (The Cheetah Girls 2) and Ilfenesh Hadera (Billions).
