She’ll certainly make waves in Pamela Anderson‘s role when the Baywatch remake returns to TV, but ex-model Brooks Nader has two big problems – she can’t swim and needs acting lessons.
Yet as filming began, Brooks, 29, a dead ringer for Pamela in the ’90s series about California lifeguards, insisted she’s diving headfirst into the iconic role.
She said: ‘I will surprise everyone. I’m having swimming lessons every day – I have the hardest swim trainer ever. I’m also having acting lessons.’
The Louisiana-born former swimsuit model added: ‘I didn’t grow up rich so I didn’t have any swimming lessons.’
Fox began filming its remake of the hit show off Venice Beach in LA last week, with Brooks, who has dated Prince Constantine-Alexios of Greece and Denmark, posing in Pamela’s famous red swimsuit.
A source close to the production said: ‘She’s landed the biggest new gig on TV without being a swimmer. She convinced producers she could nail it, and has been undergoing intense training.’

Brooks and co-star Livvy Dunne, 23, have also been coached by Malibu lifeguards.
Brooks added: ‘Chase your dreams no matter how wild they are. Baywatch let’s go!’
