The Superstars of Baywatch: Then and Now

Television would not be the same without the swimsuit-wearing, life-saving cast of Baywatch. We’re taking a look at where the beautiful people behind the hit series find themselves today.

David Hasselhoff Then

At the height of the show’s popularity, David Hasselhoff, who played the lifeguard team’s fearless leader Mitch Buchannon, was a pop culture powerhouse. The Hoff was also known for his iconic role on Knight Rider, as well as his music career. He released his debut album Looking for Freedom in 1989 which went triple platinum in Europe.

The Hoff’s years following the end of Baywatch were not all smooth sailing. In 2007 a video surfaced of the shirtless actor eating a hamburger while heavily inebriated which quickly made its rounds on the web. Despite his apparent battle with alcoholism, he nabbed a spot on the judging panel of Britain’s Got Talent in 2011. He also went on to have multiple cameos in movies like Click, Dodgeball and Hop.

Kelly Packard Then

Packard played April Giminski. For eight long years, she donned the iconic red Baywatch swimsuit. Fans and co-stars watched her save lives and break hearts one episode at a time.

Once Baywatch had ended and Packard hung up her red one-piece for good, the actress went on to have continued success on the small screen. She subsequently starred in Boy Meets World, Step by Step and California Dreams. She also co-hosted Ripley’s Believe or Not! Things have appeared to slow down for the Californian blonde, her last acting credit dates back to 2015.
