Livvy Dunne Shows Off Flirty First Look for ‘Baywatch’ Reboot Role
Olivia “Livvy” Dunne is diving into a new adventure on screen. The 23-year-old posted photos on social media showing herself holding what appeared to be a script from Fox’s upcoming “Baywatch” reboot while wearing a red swimsuit that nods to the classic lifeguard look. “I’m not a lifeguard, but I play one on TV,” she captioned the post, sharing the news with her fans.
Dunne has been cast as Grace, a “highly enthusiastic junior lifeguard,” and will appear in a recurring role on the series. While she is already known for her Fanatics Sportsbook ad campaigns, this marks her first serious acting project. Excited about the opportunity, she wrote on X as the news broke, “Time to get to work!!”
Before stepping into acting, Dunne was a gymnast at LSU. She has spoken openly about her interest in performing, telling People earlier this year that acting has long been a passion. “It’s something I’ve been passionate about for quite some time,” she said. “I was interested in doing that at LSU, but sports are your top priority when you’re a student-athlete at school; school and sports, but really gymnastics was my main focus. And now that I’m done with school, I have more time to lean into the acting stuff and the creative side of things.”
Dunne has also been managing her personal life alongside her new career. She is dating Team USA’s Paul Skenes and mentioned missing one of his games because of work, though she didn’t confirm if that was for “Baywatch.”
The reboot is set to air on Fox this fall and features a mix of returning and new talent. Alongside Dunne, the cast includes Stephen Amell, Jessica Belkin, Hassie Harrison, Shay Mitchell, Brooks Nader, David Chokachi, Thaddeus LaGrone, Noah Beck, and Krysten Ritter.
Fans have been quick to react to Dunne’s posts, eager to see how she brings her character to life in the iconic lifeguard franchise. With her athletic background and growing experience in front of the camera, she’s stepping into the role with confidence.
It’s clear that Dunne is ready to transition from sports and social media into acting. The combination of her natural charisma, athleticism, and dedication to learning the craft could make her a standout addition to the reboot.
Livvy Dunne’s move into acting is exciting and shows how versatile young stars can be. It will be interesting to see if she can bring the same energy she has in gymnastics and social media to the big screen. What do you think about Livvy Dunne joining the “Baywatch” reboot?
