Brooks Nader channelled Pamela Anderson as she slipped into the iconic red swimsuit while filming Fox's Baywatch reboot in Los Angeles on Friday. The actress, 29, showcased her incredible figure in the high-leg swimsuit and had her hair styled in a bouncy blowdry.
Set on the shores of Los Angeles, the Baywatch reboot is highly anticipated and also features some of the old timers such as Erika Eleniak and David Chokachi. Featuring a new generation of elite lifeguards patrolling Southern California's shoreline, the series focuses on an adult Hobie Buchannon (Stephen Amell), son of the original series' Mitch, who becomes a captain and deals with the unexpected arrival of his long-lost daughter, Charlie. Also in the cast are Shay Mitchell of Pretty Little Liars and Hassie Harrison of Yellowstone.
Yet before she began filming, Brooks admitted to having two major problems: she couldn't swim and she needed acting lessons. Speaking ahead of filming in March, she told TMZ: 'I will surprise everyone. I'm having swimming lessons every day – I have the hardest swim trainer ever. I'm also having acting lessons.' Asked if she could swim, she confessed: 'Not really. I didn't grow up rich so I didn't have any swimming lessons.' Brooks added: 'Chase your dreams no matter how wild they are. Baywatch let's go!'
A source close to the production said: 'She's landed the biggest new gig on TV without being a swimmer. She convinced producers she could nail it, and has been undergoing intense training. She admitted to some of the crew she wasn't that interested in the water growing up, so never felt the need to learn properly.'
Revealing news of her casting in March, Brooks wrote: 'I believed in this long before it made sense. Never give up, chase your dreams no matter how wild they are. Baywatch let's go!' The Baywatch reboot on Fox is scheduled to premiere in late January 2027, serving as part of the 2026-27 midseason lineup. The new 12-episode series is currently in production in Venice Beach, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
