Kelly Rohrbach's Embarrassing Baywatch Audition

[ CHEERING AND APPLAUSE ].
>> HI.
>> Jimmy: WELL, YOU SMELL --
>> HOW YOU DOING?
>> Jimmy: YOU SMELL VERY GOOD.
I'M DOING WELL.
THANK YOU.
>> THANK YOU.
>> Jimmy: THIS IS YOUR FIRST BIG
MOVIE?
>> IT IS.
>> Jimmy: I LEARNED SOMETHING
ABOUT YOU TODAY.
YOUR INTENTION WAS NOT
NECESSARILY TO BE AN ACTOR, YOU
WERE FOCUSED ON GOLF.
>> I WAS.
>> Jimmy: YOU MUST BE A VERY
GOOD GOLFER I ASSUME?
>> I WENT TO COLLEGE FOR GOLF.
I HAS A SCHOLARSHIP FOR GOLF.
>> Jimmy: GEORGETOWN IS A HARD
SCHOOL, RIGHT?
>> YEAH.
>> Jimmy: IT IS HARD TO GET IN.
YOU PLAYED ON THE GOLF TEAM
THERE.
>> I DID.
>> Jimmy: WHEN YOU PLAY ON THE
GOLF TEAM AT GEORGETOWN, DO YOU
HAVE TO GO TO CLASSES OR DO THEY
SAY, OH, SHE IS GOOD, WE'LL GIVE
HER A "C" AND PUSH HER THROUGH.
>> WELL, THAT'S WHERE THE ACTING
COMES IN.
>> Jimmy: I SEE.
>> I WAS LIKE WHERE'S THE
EASIEST CLASS ON CAMPUS?
THEY WERE RIGHT THAT WAY.
NO PROBLEM, I'LL BE TAKING THAT
CLASS.
>> Jimmy: WHAT ARE THE CLASSES
THAT YOU CAN PRETTY MUCH GET AN
"A" NO MATTER WHAT?
>> I TOOK HISTORY OF AUSTRALIA.
I KNOW ALL ABOUT THE ABORIGINES.
>> Jimmy: SEE, YOU ONLY WEREN'T
PAYING THAT MUCH ATTENTION.
TELL US ABOUT THE ABORIGINES.
LET'S START FROM THE BEGINNING.
>> WE DON'T HAVE TIME FOR THAT.
>> Jimmy: WHAT GRADE DID YOU GET
IN THAT CLASS.
>> I TOOK ALL OF THE A CLASSES
ON CAMPUS.
>> Jimmy: A FOR ABORIGINE.
>> AND AUSTRALIA.
>> Jimmy: WHAT OTHER CLASSES DID
YOU TAKE?
>> PERFORMANCE STUDIES, I CHOSE
RUBBON DANCING AND MASK
PUPPETTEERING.
>> Jimmy: IS THAT A CLASS?
>> IT IS.
>> Jimmy: WHAT IS MASK
PUPPETEERING.
>> IT IS MASK WORK AND IT IS THE
MOST SUPER FUN.
YOU WALK AROUND CLASS IN A MASK.
>> Jimmy: IT IS TIME TO SHUT
DOWN OUR UNIVERSITIES, IT REALLY
IS.
IS THERE ANY ACTUAL PUPPETEEING?
YOU ARE JUST WEARING A MASK?
>> YEAH, WELL, THIS IS GOING TO
GET REALLY HOKE.
>> Jimmy: YES.
>> YOU HAVE A PARTNER THAT ACTS
AS YOUR PUPPETEER AND YOU'RE THE
MASK.
>> Jimmy: I GOT YOU.
AND YOU DO WHATEVER YOUR BODY IS
DOING.
>> IT IS ABOUT THE CONNECTION
YOU ESTABLISH AND WORKING OFF
THE OTHER PERSON, AND SO YOU'RE
SUPPOSED TO FEEL THEM -- YEAH,
IT'S -- IT IS HOKEY BUT IT
WORKED.
I LOVED IT.
IT WAS GREAT.
>> Jimmy: SOMEHOW YOU WOUND UP
IN ACTING AS A RESULT OF IT.
>> NO, BUT I TOOK CLASSES AND I
LOVED IT AND HAD THE BEST TIME.
AFTER I GRADUATED I WAS LIKE,
ALL RIGHT, WHAT SHOULD I DO WITH
THIS DEGREE?
SO I FLEW OUT TO L.A. AND --
>> Jimmy: AND HERE YOU ARE.
>> HERE I AM I GUESS.
>> Jimmy: WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN
YOU FIRST GET TO L.A.?
DID YOU HAVE CONTACTS OR ANYBODY
YOU WERE HERE TO SEE OR LIVE
WITH?
>> NO, I JUST SHOWED UP.
>> Jimmy: YOU SHOWED UP, SAID,
SIGN ME UP?
>> NO, I GOOGLE WILLED HOW TO G
AGENT.
>> Jimmy: YOU DID?
>> I DID.
>> Jimmy: AND GOOGLE WAS RIGHT.
>> POWER OF THE INTERNET.
WHO KNEW, IT WORKS.
>> Jimmy: YOU WERE A "SPORTS
ILLUSTRATED" SWIMSUIT MODEL.
I MENTIONED THAT EARLIER.
REALLY LIKE WHAT COULD BE BETTER
FOR SOMEONE WHO WAS A "SPORTS
ILLUSTRATED" SWIMSUIT MODEL THAN
TO BE IN THE "BAYWATCH" MOVIE.
YOU WERE TOO YOUNG PROBABLY FOR
"BAYWATCH," RIGHT?
>> I WAS TOO YOUNG, BUT I WAS AN
AVID FAN.
I WAS FOUR YEARS OLD, SUCKING MY
THUMB IN ONESIE PAJAMAS WATCHING
"BAYWATCH," I SWEAR.
IT WAS MY SISTERS AND MY GO-TO
SHOW.
EVERYBODY THAT DOES A REBOOT
SAYS THAT.
>> Jimmy: AND THEY'RE LYING
ALMOST ALL THE TIME.
>> DIE-HARD.
>> Jimmy: YOU HAVE ACTUAL PROOF.
THIS IS AMAZING.
YOU BROUGHT A PHOTOGRAPH.
YOU TOOK THIS WHEN?
>> IN 2014.
>> Jimmy: OKAY.
SO --
>> 2017, SO THREE YEARS AGO.
>> Jimmy: BEFORE THERE WAS TALK
OF A "BAYWATCH" MOVIE.
>> YES.
>> Jimmy: THIS IS SOMETHING YOU
POSTED TO INSTAGRAM OR YOUR
SISTER POSTED TO INSTAGRAM?
>> I POSTED.
>> Jimmy: SHOW THIS PICTURE.
NOW, THIS IS A PHOTOGRAPH YOU
TOOK THREE YEARS AGO.
WATCH YOUR BACK, C.J.
[ CHEERING AND APPLAUSE ].
>> Jimmy: TURNS OUT TO BE THE
CHARACTER YOU'RE PLAYING, THE
ONE PAMELA ANDERSON PLAYED.
>> MY SISTERS AND I WERE SUCH
AVID FANS OF THE SHOW, IF WE SAW
A RED BATHING SUIT, WE WOULD
TAKE A PICTURE.
WE WERE PLAYING GAGS BEFORE IT
WAS A THING, B-A-E WATCH, LIKE
YOU'RE MY BAE.
HEY, BAE.
>> WOULD HEY BE SPELLED H-E --
I'M FOCUSED ON SPELLING.
YOU VISUALIZED THIS OUT OF OPRAH
MAGAZINE.
>> THE POWER OF MANIFESTATION.
>> Jimmy: HOW DID YOU AUDITION?
DID YOU BRING IN THE PHOTOGRAPH
AND SAY, YOU HAVE TO GIVE ME
THIS JOB?
>> WELL, I ACTUALLY HAD THAT
SUIT.
I BOUGHT THAT SUIT THAT DAY.
WHEN IT CAME TIME FOR THE
AUDITION I DECIDED IT WOULD BE A
GOOD IDEA TO WEAR THE SUIT TO
THE AH DECISION.
>> Jimmy: REALLY?
>> YES.
DON'T EVER DO THAT, ANYONE.
>> Jimmy: THAT SEEMS LIKE A
CRAZY IDEA.
>> SO IT WAS LIKE JANUARY, DEAD
OF WINTER IN NEW YORK CITY.
I DID MY AH DECUDITION.
I PUT MY SUIT ON.
I'M GOING TO KILL THIS, THIS IS
A GREAT IDEA, NOBODY ELSE WILL
HAVE THIS.
I PUT SWEAT PANTS OVER IT.
I GET TO THE AUDITION ROOM,
THERE'S FIVE OTHER GIRLS SITTING
THERE LOOKING EXACTLY LIKE ME,
NOT WEARING THE SWIMSUIT,
WEARING APPROPRIATE JEANS AND A
TEE SHIRT, ATTIRE FOR AN
ADDITION.
AND THEY CALLED MY NAME, I STOOD
UP, I DROPPED TROW AND I'M LIKE,
I'M GOING IN, GUYS.
THEY WERE LIKE, OH, MY GOD, WHAT
IS SHE WEARING.
>> Jimmy: THEY ABSOLUTELY
DESPISED YOU WHEN YOU DID THAT,
RIGHT?
>> NO, IT WAS PURE PITY.
THEY WERE LIKE, OH, MAN, SHE IS
WEARING THE SUIT.
>> Jimmy: YOU GET IN THERE AND
WHAT'S THE REACTION OF THE
DIRECT CASTING DIRECTOR?
>> I'M LIKE, I'M KIDDING.
TAKE IT AS A JOKE, I'LL JUST
START NOW, OKAY.
>> Jimmy: APPARENTLY IT MADE A
GOOD IMPRESSION.
>> I GUESS SOME.
I WENT TO THE DIRECTOR AND SAID,
I'M SORRY ABOUT THAT WHOLE
AUDITION THIS, IT WAS LIKE
WEIRD, RIGHT?
HE WAS LIKE, NO, IT WAS COOL.
>> Jimmy: YOU'RE LUCKY YOU HAD A
GUY IN THERE.
IT'S FINE.
[ CHEERING AND APPLAUSE ].
>> THE CASTING DIRECTOR WAS A
GIRL, SO, I GUESS --
>> Jimmy: ALL RIGHT.
WELL, HEY, CONGRATULATIONS.
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH.
>> Jimmy: YOUR DREAM HAS COME
TRUE.
