Former teen idol Zac Efron, who rose to fame in the Disney High School Musical franchise, says the upcoming Baywatch movie in which he will co-star with Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson will be almost nothing like the 1990s TV series about lifeguards.
Although the movie is in preliminary stages, Efron said he was looking forward to it departing from the TV show that starred David Hasselhoff and Pamela Anderson and almost always featured a rescue at sea, no matter how tangential to the plot.
"It's going to be R-rated and it's going to be badass," Efron told Reuters, referring to the Hollywood classification for movies containing adult material.
