Actor plays a scandal-plagued Olympic swimmer in the big-screen reboot due in theaters on May 19, 2017
Did Paramount’s big-screen “Baywatch” reboot presciently anticipate the Ryan Lochte scandal?
According to an individual with knowledge of the production, Zac Efron‘s character, Matt Brody, is a former U.S. Olympic swimmer, two-time gold medalist and world record holder who becomes embroiled in controversy after committing a crime.
To rehab his public image and satisfy the community service portion of his sentence, he joins the lifeguard squad - where his presence rankles the head lifeguard played by Dwayne Johnson.
Director Seth Gordon wrapped production on the new film in June, long before real-life Olympic swimmer Ryan Lochte and some of his U.S. teammates got caught up in a controversial robbery scandal at the 2016 Olympic Games.

Efron’s version of the character is markedly different from that of David Charvet, who played Matt Brody on the hit TV series, which ran from 1989 to 2001. Charvet’s version of the character was forced to resign because he was accused of sexual harassment by Neely Capshaw, but he was later reinstated before heading off to France.
Until now, the studio has kept most plot points and character details about under wraps for “Baywatch,” other than the cast posting pictures from set.
Paramount and Efron’s reps declined to comment on the character details.
No comment, though I will say we have long been fans of LochteShenanigans™ 🇺🇸🍾☀️⛱ https://t.co/3x8rrIGQui - Shannon and Swift (@shannonandswift) August 30, 2016
