A new retrospective on the original series reveals quite an interesting revelation, that Oscar winner Leonardo DiCaprio was almost cast on the show when he was just a teenager.
Of course, Leonardo DiCaprio turned out just fine without the Baywatch role, earning his first Oscar nomination in 1993 for What’s Eating Gilbert Grape?, a role he might not have landed had be been cast in Baywatch.
Next year, the iconic TV series Baywatch makes the transition to the big screen with a new reboot starring Dwayne Johnson and Zac Efron.
Paramount has set Baywatch for release on May 19, 2017, so stay tuned for more updates on the remake.
