Baywatch is begin produced by Paramount Pictures and hits theaters theaters May 19, 2017.

Great day on the beach for "Lieutenant Mitch Buchannon". Beat up bad guys, saved a puppy from drowning and gave a woman mouth to mouth, who I think totoally pretended to drown so I'd save her. #OnSet #BAYWATCH #TheBuchannonWay #RowdyAndRatedR We're havin' a blast..
