During its 12-year run, Baywatch offered viewers a winning combination of sun, sand, and sexy, scantily clad lifeguards – a combination that, perhaps unsurprisingly, left pulses racing and transformed it into one of the most-watched shows in the world.
One of those red shorts-wearing lifeguards was David Chokachi, whose character, Cody Madison, became the envy of every heterosexual male on earth after getting it on with both Carmen Electra and Pamela Anderson during his stint on the TV blockbuster.
“My friends would call me and would be like, ‘Holy s--t, dude! You’re making out with Pamela Anderson!’,” a laughing David, 52, tells New Idea. “They just couldn’t believe that this was my world.”
Fresh out of college, David got the mother of all big breaks when he signed on to the ratings juggernaut in 1995 to take the role of buff, blonde Cody, who would become the romantic interest of Pamela Anderson’s character, C. J. Parker.
“They hooked my character up with Pamela, which was super fun!” he says, smiling. “We just had great chemistry and we had a blast together because I didn’t want anything from her, whereas so many other people did.
“I think that’s why our relationship worked so well. It was like,‘This is super cool but I’m not looking to date you’.”
