Forward of the discharge of Paramount’s new Baywatch movie in 2017, there was a variety of purpose for optimism. The movie had a splashy forged, led by none apart from Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson; it reunited him together with his San Andreas “daughter” Alexandra Daddario and it starred Zac Efron and Priyanka Chopra besides. However when the movie hit theaters it was critically panned and years later Daddario is admitting it negatively affected her profession.
In a current profile interview, Alexandra Daddario opened up about actually kicking her profession into excessive gear together with her in style function within the Percy Jackson movies. She instructed the NY Instances that was the gig that basically helped her know easy methods to convey an already-popular franchise to life on the massive display screen with Baywatch, although it had ramifications she hadn’t anticipated.

‘Baywatch’ raised my profile and adjusted the sorts of jobs I used to be being supplied, perhaps not in a constructive means. However I’m glad I did it.
Whereas the actress’ feedback right here point out she’s not one for regrets, they do tie in with some feedback she shared a number of months in the past. Late final yr, Alexandra Daddario talked her profession “stalling” within the years simply previous to the pandemic. Whereas she didn’t notice on the time why it had occurred, for those who tie her earlier statements in with these new feedback about how Baywatch panned out, it’s simple to see how the 2 in all probability relate.
The excellent news is the actress was one of many savviest celebrities to observe in the course of the pandemic, going viral for the whole lot from an enormous, juicy burger submit to recreating a White Lotus bikini scene with co-star Sydney Sweeney. Over time, she has rallied within the post-Baywatch period.
In the meantime, it’s onerous to place a finger on what precisely sunk Baywatch, however a lazy script appears to have been one main wrongdoer, with jokes about corpse penises and plenty of superhero references shoehorned in. The flick could solely have a 17% ranking on Rotten Tomatoes, however the excellent news is that for the most important names concerned, it wasn’t a profession sinker, as they’ve all gone on to splashy new tasks within the time since.
For Daddario, although she admits she had a dry interval, HBO and HBO Max creator Mike White took an opportunity on her by casting her in then-new collection The White Lotus, which ended up being a superb guess for the actress, as she’s drawn consideration for her awards-worthy efficiency and the aforementioned viral bikini scene alike.
Now, this month, Alexandra Daddario kicked off her newest TV function in Mayfair Witches, the second in what AMC hopes shall be a collection of Anne Rice-based TV tasks. It’s the one which follows the critically acclaimed Interview with a Vampire on the community. The longer term ought to be spellbinding for followers of the actress, and I, for one, can’t wait to see what she does subsequent.
