Social media influencer, model and former LSU gymnast Olivia 'Livvy' Dunne confirmed reports that she's joined the cast of FOX's reboot of Baywatch in a post shared on her X account Thursday (March 12).
"Time to get to work!!!" Dunne wrote in response to Deadline's report that she'll take on the "recurring role of Grace, a highly enthusiastic junior lifeguard," which will be her professional acting debut.
Dunne, 23, recently revealed that she began taking acting lessons to pursue a career in film and television after retiring from gymnastics last April.
“It's something I've been passionate about for quite some time," Dunne told PEOPLE earlier this month. "I was interested in doing that at LSU, but sports are your top priority when you're a student-athlete at school; school and sports, but really gymnastics was my main focus."
The former NCAA national champion has amassed a combined total of 15 million followers across all platforms, which includes 7.9 million on TikTok and 5.3 million on Instagram.
The Baywatch cast will also include Stephen Amell in the starring role of Hobie Buchannon, as well as Jessica Belkin, Hassie Harrison, Thaddeus LaGrone, Noah Beck, Shay Mitchell, Brooks Nader and David Chokachi reprising his role of Cody Madison from the original series. The reboot is schedule to launch during FOX's 2026-2027 season.
