"I loved doing Baywatch. It was so much fun!"
About this Quote
The specificity matters. “Loved doing” shifts the focus from the finished product to the lived experience on set, subtly relocating authority from critics and viewers to the person whose body and time were actually being consumed by the machine. Then she doubles down with “so much fun,” a phrase that reads simple but operates like a shield: pleasure as a legitimate metric. That’s a quietly feminist move in an industry that routinely demands women retrofit their past into a narrative of suffering, exploitation, or prestige.
Context sharpens the subtext. Baywatch was a global export of American beach fantasy, watched by millions and mocked by plenty. Paul’s enthusiasm punctures the idea that cultural value is determined by seriousness. It also hints at the rarest commodity in celebrity labor: a set that, at least for her, didn’t feel like punishment disguised as opportunity.
Her intent feels less like nostalgia than a refusal to be shamed. She’s telling you the truth that image factories try to hide in plain sight: sometimes the gig is just a gig, and sometimes the gig is a blast.
