Model Kelly Rohrbach may have split from actor Leonardo DiCaprio, but she has landed the role of C.J. Parker, originally played by Pamela Anderson, in the modern version of Baywatch. Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson shared sexy videos of Rohrbach as he made the big announcement.

Anderson, who played the memorable role of C.J. Parker in the television series, called herself "irreplaceable" in an interview with E! News in October. She said of the Baywatch remake, "I'll believe it when I see it, but I wish them the best. I've heard this for 15 years." The actress dissed any suggestions of actresses to play the role of C.J. in the film, stating, "I'm irreplaceable. No one could play me."

Rohrbach, who was the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit's Rookie of the Year, started dating Leonardo DiCaprio in April of 2015. The couple, who were first romantically linked in June, reportedly split due to their hectic work schedules.

A source told US Weekly of the split, "It was mutual. They both have intense work schedules and a lot going on in their lives right now. They both needed to take a break because of that. They are still friends and talking but it’s over."

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson shared several short clips on Instagram when he officially revealed Rohrbach had joined the cast of the Baywatch remake.

In one funny clip, the model claims she can't swim, with Johnson replying that it doesn't matter.

Rohrbach and Johnson also were shown running together in slow motion to the Drake song "Hotline Bling," when the muscled hunk gave the model a shove into the sand.

The San Andreas actor explained his action by stating that he needed make certain Rohrbach was "tough."
