Kelly Rohrbach, the star of the upcoming “Baywatch” remake, stopped by Jimmy Kimmel Live to talk about her road to Hollywood—including the “easy A” classes she took to breeze through Georgetown—and revealed that her “Baywatch” audition could’ve gone very differently.

“You’re lucky you had a guy in there,” Kimmel quipped. See for yourself.
