Brooks Nader is clapping back at critics questioning her influencer-to-actor pivot in the Baywatch reboot. The 29-year-old model spoke out after wrapping her first week of filming on the Fox series. She defended the multi-hyphenate casting trend while gushing over slipping into that iconic red swimsuit. 🔥
Hold onto your beach balls, darlings—Brooks Nader isn't letting the haters drown her Baywatch dreams! The 29-year-old supermodel and influencer just wrapped her first week filming the hotly anticipated Fox reboot and spilled the tea to The Daily Mail at an event last weekend. Facing backlash for snagging a role as a non-actor? Puh-lease. 'I think that the times are different and everyone is so multi-hyphenate now, and you can be both an actor and an influencer and have influence. And that’s the beauty of the culture that social media has created,' she declared. 👏 Brooks doubled down: 'We now have platforms. I think, during the 90s, you didn’t have social media, you didn’t have Instagram or TikTok, and so people could use their voice now, and I think as long as they’re using it for good… I think that it’ll bring a vibe to the show.' Plot twist: she's not the only influencer in the cast, and she swears it'll elevate the series. 'I think that there’s so many amazing platforms and voices that are on the show, in the cast, and I think it’ll only help the series.' But the real serve? Donning the legendary red one-piece. 'It was the biggest pinch me moment of my career,' Brooks gushed. 'I feel like this is my first big acting gig, and so I’m excited to show people what I can do and obviously big shoes to fill. Baywatch [is] such an iconic series, and we have such a stacked cast of amazing talent. And so I know everyone’s gonna love it. It’s amazing.' This debut is her TV acting splash—will the reboot rescue the franchise or leave us all washed up? Spill your thoughts! 💦
