Brooks Nader has spent years preparing for her Baywatch role.
The 29-year-old model feels proud to be part of the Baywatch reboot, having been inspired by the likes of Pamela Anderson and Carmen Electra during her younger years.
Brooks - who appeared on the cover of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue in 2023 - told People: "I've been doing this since I was like two years old. I've been ready for this. I'm like, 'I got this.' I've been watching the videos of Pam and Carmen Electra. I'm ready for this.
"I've been doing this in my mirror since I was like 10 years old. You know what I mean? So you'll like my run."
Brooks also recalled wearing the iconic Baywatch swimsuit for the first time, describing it as an "out-of-body experience".
The model-turned-actress remembered the "wardrobe people" being reduced to tears by the moment.
Brooks - who stars on the show alongside the likes of Livvy Dunne, Shay Mitchell, Noah Beck, and Stephen Amell - shared: "They were like, 'This is so big and this is so exciting.' And I feel like the energy with the cast and the crew and everybody involved is just spectacular and everyone's so excited to see it all come to life. I think everyone's going to love the show and everyone's working really hard. So it's exciting."
Brooks is playing Selene, "the sharp-tongued captain" of the Zuma beach lifeguards, in the Baywatch reboot.
And a character biography previously gave an insight into what to expect from Selene.
The bio reads: "While [Selene] is excellent at her job, she and Baywatch Captain Hobie Buchannon have a very different approach to saving lives that is a constant source of friction. Never on good terms, their relationship only goes downhill after Hobie brings his daughter Charlie onto his team … and it becomes clear that their rivalry goes much deeper than lifeguarding."
