Carmen Electra \u2018struggled\u2019 with her \u2018Baywatch\u2019 action scenes as she couldn\u2019t work out how to hold her breath in water<\/p>\n
The 52-year-old actress, born Tara Leigh Patrick, kicked off her career with glamour modelling in 1996, including appearances in Playboy magazine, before she landed her breakthrough role as Lani McKenzie on the lifeguard show.<\/p>\n
She has now told People in an interview to mark the 35th anniversary of the hit series one of the first things she was asked in her audition for the show was about her swimming abilities.<\/p>\n
Carmen added: \u201cI said, \u2018Yes, of course I can.\u2019 The thing is, I\u2019m okay in a pool. I mean, I was a gymnast and trained in classical ballet most of my life, and I grew up swimming in friends\u2019 pools and in the river and stuff, in the Ohio River, little swim parks.\u201d<\/p>\n
But she admitted when it came to actually shooting \u2018Baywatch\u2019 she started to battle with the reality of tough action scenes.<\/p>\n
\nCarmen went on: \u201cWhen we were rehearsing and we were really getting in the water, sometimes it was really hard. <\/p>\n
\n\u201cI would end up getting through things, but that always felt like such a great accomplishment. <\/p>\n
\n\u201cIf I could dive off the speeding boat with the rescue cam, tandem dive with two other people right on time, to me that was a great accomplishment. <\/p>\n
\n\u201cDoing surfing scenes and tandem surfing, which was really scary.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cThere were a lot of scenes I\u2019d struggle with.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cI never could understand how you push the water out and still hold your breath. <\/p>\n
\n\u201cIt was always a strange thing for me that I never really got.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nBut she added completing rough scenes gave her a huge sense of achievement.<\/p>\n
\nCarmen said: \u201cWhen I would do a scene and it was completely successful, it felt like a huge accomplishment, and those times were really good.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
