Paul Skenes’ girlfriend, Olivia Dunne, and other cast members of the upcoming Baywatch reboot honored Ryder Williams on Friday. The 16-year-old Williams became a national hero after he saved a preteen boy at Seabright State Beach in Santa Cruz in late July.
Baywatch’s Instagram handle posted a picture of Williams with the series cast on Friday. Williams was with them after the production team invited him following his heroic endeavor. Cast members and producers gave the teenager customized gear to honor his feat.
Dunne stood in the centre of the picture with Jessica Belking on her left. Williams rocked a custom Baywatch Jacket and stood next to Skenes’ girlfriend on her right. Dunne rocked a striped cropped tank top and a white mini skirt.
