Livvy Dunne appeared on The Tonight Show on Wednesday, teaching Jimmy Fallon the franchise’s signature slow-motion Baywatch run as she promoted her acting debut.
The LSU gymnast-turned-social media star said she plays young lifeguard Grace in FOX’s 12-episode reboot, which was recently pushed from this fall to late January 2027.
Dunne told Fallon the role came after her first in-person audition—for The White Lotus—did not land, but a self-tape for Baywatch led to a callback and booking.
The late-night appearance extends Dunne’s broader push for the series, which she has also promoted through behind-the-scenes posts while preparing for a higher-profile screen debut.
Can Livvy Dunne prove that social media stardom is the new path to primetime television success?
Will the Baywatch reboot's mix of 90s nostalgia and modern action appeal to both old and new fans?
