– Rock is currently filming the “Baywatch” re-make in movie form, now with original TV star Pamela Anderson in the cast, reports the Daily Mail.

Anderson was outspoken against the re-make in recent interviews, but it appears Rock convinced her to make a cameo in the movie.

She came to play and have a blast. That's exactly what we all did. #Icon #Baywatch https://t.co/oUmOaAdiUF
