Livvy Dunne gets flirty with co-star Noah Beck during Baywatch car wash scene

Livvy Dunne and Noah Beck got close on the set of Baywatch in Los Angeles this week.

The 23-year-old former gymnast wore the famed red lifeguard swimsuit while the 24-year-old internet personality-turned-actor wore red trunks.

They filmed a car wash scene alongside other swimsuit-clad castmates, and at one point Beck carried Dunne on his back.

The blonde beauty smiled while a purple towel dangled from her hand. 

And she took to Instagram on Friday to share beach footage and write, 'These past few days filming have been magical.'

'I am so excited! @baywatchtv,' she added while posting a red heart and lifeguard safety ring emoji.

When Baywatch casting choices were revealed, many people were shocked to see social media stars like Dunne and Brooks Nader – better known for their Instagram following than their acting chops – among the lifeguard team.

And when first-look photos hit the internet this week, fans tore into the reboot, calling it a derivative idea, with influencers in lead roles and a plot destined for failure.

Despite the backlash, the cast is embracing the opportunity.

Earlier this month, Dunne revealed how excited she is to try her hand at acting.

'It's something I've been passionate about for quite some time. I was interested in doing that at LSU, but sports are your top priority when you're a student-athlete at school,' she told People magazine.

'And now that I'm done with school, I have more time to lean into the acting stuff and the creative side of things.

'Whether it's gymnastics or acting in a movie or a TV show, I just think watching all your hard work pay off, whether it's an individual thing or a group thing, I think it's so cool.'

Dunne was seen sharing a laugh on the beach with fellow Sports Illustrated cover girl Nader days ago.

Stephen Amell has been cast as the protagonist Hobie Buchannon, and on Monday he shared a photo of the official director's slate.

The Love Thy Nader star reposted it via Instagram Stories and added, 'Here we gooooo.' 

The new Baywatch iteration will air for 12 episodes.

The show, which ran from 1989 to 2001, followed the lives of a group of lifeguards who patrol the beaches in Los Angeles.

It starred David Hasselhoff in the lead role of Mitch Buchannon and also made a star out of Pamela Anderson, who played C.J. Parker.

Although it consistently received negative reviews from critics, Baywatch was a hit with viewers and became the most-watched TV show in the world during its run.

For its final two years on air, the show was retitled Baywatch: Hawaii, with future movie star Jason Momoa joining the cast.

In a statement to Variety last fall, Michael Thorn, President of Fox Television Network, said: 'In its first run, Baywatch defined an entire era of beach life and elevated lifeguards to an iconic status. Now, with our partners at Fremantle, this television juggernaut is set for a modern-day comeback.

'Together, Fox and Fremantle, along with Matt Nix and original co-creator Greg Bonann, will bring the California dream to a whole new generation of fans with fresh stories, rising stars and all the spectacle that make the Baywatch franchise a global sensation.'

The reboot will follow Hobie as he plays a Baywatch Captain, just like his iconic father Mitch.
