Kate Upton as C.J. Parker, originally played by Pamela Anderson
We know the Sports Illustrated model can run down the beach so, why the hell not?
Jaden Smith as Hobie Buchannon, originally played by Jeremy Jackson
Will Smith‘s offspring is going to need to learn to surf if he wants to play Mitch’s son.
Chris Pratt as Mike “Newmie” Newman, originally played by Michael Newman
The ability to grow a mustache is of the utmost importance for this role, and Pratt’s a boss at sprouting facial hair.
Hilary Swank as Stephanie Holden, originally played by Alexandra Paul
All Hilary has to do is cut off her hair again and she’s perfect for this part.
Jon Hamm as J.D. Darius, originally played by Michael Bergin
Hamm might have to shave down his chest a tad but the resemblance between these two is jaw-dropping.
David Beckham as Cody Madison, originally played by David Chokachi
Another look alike casting. Beckham’s shirtless body doesn’t hurt either.
Lea Michele as Caroline Holden, originally played by Yasmine Bleeth
If Lea’s cool with wearing a swimsuit and agrees to not sing, we’ll be OK with this.
Kerry Washington as Jordan Tate, originally played by Traci Bingham
Saving someone from drowning might be a nice change of pace from the drama she deals with on “Scandal.”
Nick Jonas as Matt Brody, originally played by David Charvet
The youngest JoBro has no problem popping his shirt off so this seems like a no-brainer.
Christina Hendricks as Donna Marco, originally played by Donna D’Errico
We want to see a redhead on the beach for “Baywatch.” So long as Christina wears plenty of sunscreen.
Katherine Heigl as April Giminski, originally played by Kelly Packard
Heigl just returned to TV but maybe if that doesn’t work out, she’ll be down for “Baywatch.”
Zac Efron as Logan Fowler, originally played by Jaason Simmons
Efron has the abs but can he do an Australian accent?
Carmen Electra as Leilani “Lani” McKenzie, originally played by Carmen Electra
Somehow Carmen looks hotter now than she did when she was on the show in 1997.
