Samantha Hoopes Has A ‘Baywatch’ Ball With Dwayne Johnson

Samantha Hoopes isn't in the upcoming big-screen "Baywatch" — but the "Sports Illustrated" bikini model was brought out to play with Dwayne Johnson with a giant beach ball! The admiring crowds didn't seem to mind missing out on big-screen "Baywatch" babes like Pamela Anderson or Kelly Rohrbach, either.

The playful pair put on a playful display on the beaches of Venice, Calif. — with Samantha adding some Hollywood glamour by cavorting in high heels. Surprised bystanders snapped cell phone shots as Sam and Dwayne engaged in a frisky game of volleyball with the 8-foot high inflatable!

Slated for release on Memorial Day weekend, this big-screen reboot of the one-time TV juggernaut teams Dwayne and Zac Efron as a pair of lifeguards who stumble upon a criminal enterprise that threatens the bay.

Priyanka Chopra and Charlotte McKinney also show up in the cast, along with David Hasselhoff joining Pamela to keep the fans of vintage "Baywatch" happy.

Samantha is starting up her own film career, too. She has a role in the new Adam Sandler comedy "Sandy Wexler," and has plenty of fans from her appearances in the "Sports Illustrated" Swimsuit Issue — which have brought her over 790,000 followers on Instagram!
