AceShowbiz - Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson has teased fans with another picture from the set of "Baywatch" movie. The wrestler-turned-actor took to Instagram on Friday, March 11 to share a behind-the-scenes look at a scene in which he and Zac Efron have a pull-up challenge with a bunch of people cheering them.
"#BAYWATCH lifeguards are the fireman of the beach. I did 100 (over hand & wide grip) pull ups and @zacefron did 99. Valiant effort from the kid, but the OG pulled thru," Johnson wrote in the caption, boasting about his win over Efron. "For now, until he dusts me in the speed round. Us #BAYWATCH lifeguards take our jobs extremely serious and we're the best of the best. We're also slightly f**ked up and dysfunctional."
Johnson and Efron previously shared pictures of them participating in a tire flipping competition. Efron admitted that he lost to his co-star. "Needless to say I lost this one - come at me on the 50 yard dash and we'll see what happens, Sasquatch," he wrote alongside the photo.
The movie adaptation of the TV series of the same title centers on Mitch Buchannon (Johnson), the leader of an elite group of lifeguards, who is forced to team up with a young former Olympian, Matt Brody (Efron), in order to save the beloved bay. Kelly Rohrbach, Alexandra Daddario and Priyanka Chopra are also starring, while David Hasselhoff who starred on the original series is set to make appearance.
Seth Gordon is directing the pic which is scheduled to hit U.S. theaters on May 19, 2017.
