Way back in August 2015, just after theBaywatwchmovie was announced,Dwayne Johnsonconfirmed the movie would beR-rated, and with the movie set for release on Memorial Day weekend, many are wondering how R-rated this movie will be. While doing the press tour forThe Fate of the Furious,Dwayne Johnsonspoke about the R rating, confirming that there will be a lot of nudity. Here’s what the actor had to say, teasing that the show is far dirtier than the iconic TV series.
“We are far dirtier than the show ever was, obviously the show was a family show on at family time of day, but in the movie we could have been dirtier. I think people are going to be shocked that Baywatch has got dirty, but there are a lot of laughs. We worked hard to make sure the flesh quota was high, there’s moregratuitous boobs, bums, abs, whatever per minute than you can imagine. Plot was important, don’t get me wrong, but so was sorting out our slow motion runs.”
During his interview withThe Sun, he actor also joked that the female stars were a bit too impressed with his co-starZac Efron’s abs, but admitted that he was impressed with the work he put into the movie. Here’s what The Rock had to say below.
“There’s less chest hair though but I like to think I have done the TV show justice in other ways. We haveThe Hoffon board keeping that vibe going. The ladies were too impressed for my liking withZac’s body when he was filming. They thought he’d sprayed on his abs. I’d like to say that’s true but I have to give him credit, he worked hard. We all wanted to keep the airbrushing budget low.”
