This leads to insults such as the High School Musical remark, which is pretty meta considering Efron starred in that movie in real life.
You’ve got to give credit where credit do, and Dwayne Johnson definitely has with his recent comments to Yahoo.
However, Mitch Buchanon and Zac Efron don’t get along from the start, and Buchanon really isn’t keen to call the smaller, but also fit swimmer by his real first name.
This isn’t a huge plot point in the movie or anything, but as you’ve likely gleaned from the trailers, Matt Brody gets a gig with Baywatch simply because he’s a former Olympic medalist and management thinks it will look good.
