Jan Welters / Harper's BazaarKelly Rohrbach takes on Pamela Anderson's most famous role in the new Baywatch reboot film, but can she do the famous red swimsuit justice?
If you're familiar with her modeling work, the answer is most definitely. Rohrbach, who plays lifeguard C.J. Parker in the new movie, showcases her svelte beach body in a new photo shoot for Harper's Bazaar, posted on Wednesday. She wears several hot styles, including a cut-out black swimsuit and a plunging, white ribbed Minimale Animale swimsuit.
The 26-year-old blonde model also appears in the new 2016 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. She had made her debut in the annual edition in 2015 as the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Rookie of the Year.
In addition to her modeling work, Rohrbach is also known for past acting roles on shows such as The P.E.T. Squad Files, Rizzoli & Isles and Two and a Half Men and for dating Leonardo DiCaprio. The two split late last year after several months.
The new Baywatch film also stars Dwayne Johnson as Mitch Buchannon, David Hasselhoff's former role on the hit series, and Zac Efron as Matt Brody, formerly played by David Charvet. The movie is currently in production and is set for release in 2017.
"It was mine and my sisters' show," Rohrbach told Harper's Bazaar. "We were all pretty young, I was like 10 years old, and we'd wait for our parents to go out on Saturday nights because they thought it was too risqué. So as soon as they were gone, we'd be in front of the TV, just sucking our thumbs with our blankies, watching babes like Pam Anderson run down the beach."
