This seems like a dream job.
Youre working every day on the beaches of Miami with Dwayne, Zac, Priyanka, Kelly.
Was the experience as amazing as it sounds?You pretty much summed it up.
My job was to hang out on a beach with some of the most beautiful people in the world.
I truly thought it was the most expensive practical joke of all-time, just to see me freak out.
And it just so happened that all those people are true rock stars.
Coming in and playing the sort of chubby, funny dude is always a little terrifying.
It feels like theres almost a bit of extra weight added to it.
And I hope I did all right.
Because its not about how he looks or what he does, its really about them being a team.
I thought that was a thing the movie did really well in addressing.
I wanted to make people laugh, whether its with me or even at the expense of me.
That is a dream come true to me.
Im very happy with it.
I was absolutely thrilled to be able to kiss Kelly Rohrbach.
And thats how relationships are.
And I dont have any money, so I must be super cool.
What was it like working with Zac and Dwayne?
I thought, Whats this dude going to be like?
And he couldnt have been nicer and cooler and kind of a nerd about rap.
But that happens now and thats just a part of my life.
I dont know how it happened, but I gladly accept it.
And working with The Rock is such an insanely incredible experience.
He never asked me once.
I bet if I asked, he would have said, Sure, come along.
I regret it terribly.
It would be intense, but what a story, man.
When you think about it, theres Ben Stiller inTheres Something About Maryand Jason Biggs inAmerican Pie.
Thats like the top of Everest when it comes to ds getting stuck in things.
So I was just terrified of having to realize that.
And I think I did my boys Ben and Jason justice.
I dont think that I got to the top of Everest, but I got close.
I climbed the mountain.
Later on, the team goes on anOceans Eleven-style mission to find dirt on Victoria (Chopra).
You had the most important and funniest job, serving as a distraction with your dance skills.
Did you bring those moves to the table?No way.
I did not come in with those moves.
That was Tricia Miranda, who is one of the most sought after hip-hop dance coordinators in the world.
Lets make you a crunk dancer.
And I was like, F yeah, were going to make me a crunk dancer.
And then you learn that hip-hop dance is not just something you pick up on the fly.
Im not Channing Tatum.
Im more like the guy who thinks hes a good dancer at a Bar Mitzvah.
Then, I saw the movie, my hands were covering my eyes, I was so embarrassed.
I definitely thought I was a lot cooler than it looks.
But once again, it was just fun.
The singing is one thing, being completely naked in front of Kelly is another.
It looks like a little horror film character… like something youd see inHostel.
Baywatch, which also stars Alexandria Daddario and Ilfenesh Hadera, is now in theaters.
