Baywatch is Back! Our Top Reasons Baywatch Was A Complete Classic (and some things you might not know…)

Swimsuits at the ready! The new Baywatch movie hits our screens at the end of the month and we actually.can't.wait. Starring Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson and Zac Efron, it's sure to be hilarious, tongue-in-cheek and slightly ridiculous (obvs).

But why the slow motion running on Baywatch in the first place, we hear you ask? Whatever the unintended consequences, it was apparently inspired by one of the producers shooting sprinters in a similar way at the 1988 Olympic Games. David Hasselhoff also claimed recently that is helped to paid out the 50-minute running slot on their super-low budget.

Whatever the reasons, we love it and are totally working on our own runs this summer - iPhones at the ready…
