We can think of many embarrassing situations that could happen with a swimsuit like this, especially on camera.
But Carmen Electra’s mortifying moment was pretty unexpected.
During the latter, Electra didn’t realize she would be trying out in the signature suit yikes!
The celeb revealed toPeoplethat when she walked into the room, David Hasselhoff, the O.G.
L.A. County Lifeguard, was sitting there along with the producers.
Electra had already practiced the dialogue for her scene, so the reading was no big deal.
But then the crew pulled out the classic “Baywatch” one-piece and told her to go get changed.
And I didn’t shave my legs that morning.
I had no idea.
I’m like, oh my God, I’m so embarrassed!"
We’re all for embracing (or not embracing) whichever beauty practices you like.
Still, we shudder to think of putting on an itty-bitty swimsuit with zero warning.
Fortunately, things turned out alright for the bombshell model.
She went in, changed into the suit, and finished rocking her audition.
Her hair obviously didn’t scare off the producers, because Electra was welcomed to the cast in 1997.
Where did the Baywatch swimsuit come from?
Ultimately, Bonann deemed a rescue-risky two-piece too far from the real thing.
Nevertheless, the suit caused some"Baywatch" castmates to struggle with body image.
