In 2017, Alexandra Daddario played her biggest role up to that point in “Baywatch,” a film reboot of the iconic TV series. She starred as Summer Quinn alongside Zac Efron and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, her former “San Andreas” co-star. Being a “Baywatch” movie, Daddario knew she would be spending a lot of time in a swimsuit, so she trained hard for the role, doing full body workouts, hot yoga, and cardio, among other exercises. Scantily clad men and women is par for the course when it comes to “Baywatch,” and what’s clear from the film’s blooper reel is that Daddario had quite a sense of humor about the whole thing.
In one scene, Efron’s Matt gets distracted by Summer’s chest during a conversation, which she hilariously calls out and ribs him on. During the blooper version of this scene, Daddario jumps up and down, which causes Efron and her to break. The whole reel is hilarious, but seeing her let loose and mess around with her colleagues is what really makes it for fans of the actor. Although “Baywatch” belly-flopped at the box office, the role of Summer was one of Daddario’s first opportunities to prove she could be a leading lady in a comedy movie, and it wouldn’t be her last.
