After sharing a picture of the "Baywatch" squad goofing around on the beach, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson shows another side of the lifeguards' fun job. In a new set photo he posted on Instagram on Thursday, March 31, the actor as his character Mitch Buchannon is seen rescuing a boy.
"Our goal with #BAYWATCH is to bring y'all a big, fun, raunchy Rated R action comedy. But, we also go hard core with our action rescues and pay respect to ocean lifeguards worldwide who are truly the first responders of the beach," he wrote in the caption. "As fun as our movie is, it's been a real eye opening experience for me playing this role. Respect."
He cheekily added some hashtags #ThisKidAintLight and #IWillPerformMouthToMouth #OnWomenOnly.
More set pictures taken during the filming of the said scene have surfaced via Daily Mail. They reveal that Zac Efron's Matt Brody and Kelly Rohrbach's C.J. Parker are also involved in the rescue mission as they drag a woman out of water.
The "Baywatch" movie centers on Mitch Buchannon, the leader of an elite group of lifeguards, who is forced to team up with a young former Olympian, Matt Brody, in order to save the beloved bay. Johnson once hinted that his character didn't get along well with Efron's. "The greatest of cinematic teams always start off with conflict - which is why my character can't stand this prick. And he hates me too. But we share one common goal: Protect the Bay," he wrote on Instagram.
Alexandra Daddario, Ilfenesh Hadera, Priyanka Chopra and Hannibal Buress also star, while David Hasselhoff who starred on the original TV series is set to make appearance. Filming is currently underway with Seth Gordon as director. The movie is due May 19, 2017 in the United States.
