Even though for a majority of its fans it was all about women in swimsuits doing slow-motion running, The Rock is proving that the guys can get just as many looks on the beach in the upcoming Baywatch film.
In a picture posted to Instagram, Dwayne Johnson shed a little light on some story info while giving everyone a peek at just how in shape he and co-star Zac Efron are (even if they are rocking the Under Armour upper body wear):

So we get a little blue mixed in with the classic red – I can dig it. Johnson also confirmed that he’ll be Mitch Buchannon (the role made famous by The Hoff himself) while Efron will be Matt Brody (originally played by David Charvet).
And a scene where Rock and Efron talk about having “Alpha male balls?” With the comedic timing of these two I need to see a gag reel as soon as this is out on blu-ray.
Horrible Bosses director Seth Gordon will helm this bound-to-be R-rated comedy that will also star Alexandra Daddario, Priyanka Chopra and model Kelly Rohrbach.
Baywatch is scheduled to race across the beach and run into theaters May 19, 2017.
