Livvy Dunne’s transition from a gymnastics star with the LSU Tigers into the world of media and entertainment is about as good as it gets.
During her time at LSU, Dunne leveraged her millions of social media followers to build a highly lucrative personal brand. She made a fortune when the NCAA’s name, image, and likeness (NIL) rule went into effect in 2021, becoming one of the highest-paid college athletes in history.

These days, Dunne is busy with her inaugural major acting role. She is part of Fox’s highly anticipated “Baywatch” reboot. This marks the 23-year-old’s first big project as she looks to break into acting.
Dunne is now back in Venice Beach, California, which serves as the show’s backdrop. On Wednesday, she took to social media to share a photo from the set.
“Back in the office,” she wrote in an Instagram story.
In a subsequent post, Dunne shared a selfie while wearing the iconic red “Baywatch” one-piece swimsuit.
Dunne joins the “Baywatch” cast in a recurring role as a junior lifeguard named Grace. She is part of a new generation of younger lifeguards who work under the main team.
Fox has ordered a full season of the “Baywatch” reboot, which is expected to have 12 episodes. Filming started in March, and the show will debut as part of the network’s 2026-2027 TV season.
Dunne previously described this role as a “dream come true.” She has been taking acting lessons to make sure that she delivers the best version of herself to the audience in her acting debut.
