Fox Upfront interviews in New York on May 11 put Livvy Dunne’s new Baywatch role in focus, with the 23-year-old saying boyfriend Paul Skenes has been “nothing but supportive.”
Dunne said both she and the Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher are focused on excelling in their own careers, even though neither she nor her family fully knew what to expect from the acting job.
The former LSU gymnast said acting has been a new challenge but less physically demanding than gymnastics, adding that she now relies on training whether on a mat or reading a script.
Brooks Nader, Shay Mitchell and Hassie Harrison have helped her adjust on set, Dunne said, as she learns from their work habits while Baywatch remains slated for release next year.
