Both Efron and Johnson posted pictures on Instagram of their first day filming, with nothing but kind words to say about each other. Johnson even teased some of the film's jokes, including how his character believes in having "alpha balls" and the hashtag #NowWhoNeedsMouthToMouth?
EXCLUSIVE FIRST LOOK: #BAYWATCH Day 1. My character "Mitch Buchannon" just gave @zacefron's character "Matt Brody" the all important beach speech about what it means to have manly "Alpha balls". Zac's ad-libbed responses were brilliant! Talented and great dude. World get ready to have some fun, 'cause the beach will never be the same again. #OnSet #BAYWATCH #Day1 #AlphaBalls #NowWhoNeedsMouthToMouth?

Baywatch will release in 2017.
