Since his salmon-laddering days<\/a> on The CW\u2019s Arrow, Stephen Amell\u2019s knack for shirtless gravitas has been an asset to any TV show wise enough to feature Stephen Amell without his shirt on. (Abs!) Now, the actor embraces his destiny as an absolutely ripped\/perpetually shirtless leader of plucky, attractive youths in Fox\u2019s Baywatch reboot series. In a new trailer released on Tuesday<\/a>, we see Amell, as all-grown-up Hobie Buchannon from the original TV series and Captain of the Baywatch lifeguard team, gazing out at the beach with a pensive look on his chiseled mug. <\/p>\n

No doubt, the obligations of playing David Hasselhoff<\/a>\u2018s son are legion! We see a plane crash in the ocean, only for it to be ferried out of the depths with Amell riding on its nose. Charlie (Jessica Belkin) appears on his doorstep as his long-lost biological daughter (she\u2019s a lifeguard, too!), who says, \u201cDon\u2019t worry, I\u2019m not looking for money. Or a father. Just need a job!\u201d Then there\u2019s the day-to-day of managing a pack of young, love- and\/or attention-starved lifeguards, all of whom smolder and smile as they run in bouncing slow-mo to the franchise\u2019s theme song. Truly, it\u2019s the part Amell was born to play, baby!\u00a0<\/p>\n

Joining Amell and Belkin are Shay Mitchell (Pretty Little Liars), Hassie Harrison (Dangerous Animals), Thaddeus LaGrone (Mr. Irrelevant), Sports Illustrated swimsuit model Brooks Nader, SI model and gymnast Olivia Dunne, TikTok influencer Noah Beck, original Baywatch actor David Chokachi (Cody Madison from the original series), and Megan Thee Stallion, who guest stars as herself. You can watch all the slo-mo action in the video below.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Since his salmon-laddering days on The CW\u2019s Arrow, Stephen Amell\u2019s knack for shirtless gravitas has been an asset…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":629568,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[430,156,111,139,69],"class_list":["post-629567","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/629567","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=629567"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/629567\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/629568"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=629567"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=629567"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=629567"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
