Leonardo DiCaprio was “ready to be cast” in Baywatch but missed out because a self-conscious David Hasselhoff complained, the show’s original producer has revealed.
“We actually had DiCaprio ready to be cast but David thought he was too old to play his son,” Berk told the Hollywood Reporter.
“She had these enormous breasts and David thought he would be upstaged by everyone looking at her breasts,” he laughed.
Both Hasselhoff and Anderson have signed up to make cameo appearances in the upcoming film adaptation of Baywatch, with Dwayne Johnson and Zac Efron also starring.
