10 LGBTQ+ actors who should totally star in the new 'Baywatch' reboot
Let's go back to the beach!
NBC
So Fox just announced that it is rebooting the classic Malibu-set TV series Baywatch with Lara Olsen serving as showrunner. “In it, daring ocean rescues, pristine beaches, and iconic red bathing suits are back, along with a whole new generation of Baywatch lifeguards, who navigate complicated, messy personal lives.”
The original starred David Hasselhoff and Pamela Anderson, so the new version needs to have an iconic cast.
Here are 10 queer actors we would love to see rock the iconic red swimsuit in the new Baywatch reboot.Ricky Martin
Ricky Martin is one of the hottest men ever, and we think he’d be the perfect replacement for David Hasselhoff. Martin looks great on a beach — and looks even better with his shirt off.
Luke Evans
Evans is the king of the speedo, so it’s only natural that he’d be on the new Baywatch! The Beauty and The Beast star would make waves as a lifeguard.
Trace Lysette
Trace Lysette’s body never stops! The Monica star wowed us all with her acting chops last year, and we need to see more of her on our screens!
Katy O'Brian
Katy O’Brian is about to break big when everyone catches her in the upcoming movie Love Lies Bleeding, and fans would love to see her continue to show off her muscles in a show like this.
Brian Michael Smith
The 9-1-1: Lone Star star already has acting experience saving people, and he’s super, super hot. Smith has been named to People’s Sexiest Men Alive issue twice!
Joel Kim Booster
Booster has got abs for days, and we know he looks great on a beach after he starred in Fire Island. Now, we’d love to see him move cross country to Malibu!
Kehlani
Kehlani is plainly one of the most beautiful women in the history of the world. We want to see her in everything.
Troye Sivan
The world’s favorite twink should take his talents to the beach, where we can enjoy seeing him in swim trunks every episode!
Zane Phillips
Fire Island and Glamorous star Zane Phillips is a total beefcake. That buff bod would be perfect for Baywatch.
Anthony Bowen
Hear us out. Bowen is a world champion wrestler, and one of the best entertainers in the world. He’s got the athleticism to save anyone from the ocean!
