Lani McKenzie, played by Carmen Electra on Baywatch, was advised to lose weight during her time on the show.

Electra revealed at the "After Baywatch: Moment in the Sun" premiere that she never had a weigh-in, but she was told she was too heavy at times, and upon reflection, she believes she was not.

She stated, "Producers would approach you and simply state, 'You need to shed some pounds.'"

The documentary 'After Baywatch: Moment in the Sun' offers a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the popular TV series that ran from 1989 to 1999.

Although she struggled with weight, Electra shared that she cherished her time working on "Baywatch."

"I never had a weigh-in, but I was told sometimes that I was too heavy, and I’ve looked back now, and I don’t think I was." — Carmen Electra

"I was doing things I never thought I could do, like tandem surfing," the actress said. One thing Electra has still mastered decades later is running in slow motion.

"I still run in slow motion for people, it’s become a global phenomenon," the 52-year-old stated. "I’m all in. I enjoy it. I teach others how to do it ... it’s entertaining."

"Baywatch" initially aired for 10 years before being rebooted as "Baywatch: Hawaii" in 1999, which lasted for two years.

In 2022, the actress joined OnlyFans because it was a "no brainer."

"Electra shared with People that she felt a sense of determination to pursue her own creative vision and become her own boss, saying, "I just felt like, 'Yeah, I need to do this,'" at the time."

Electra's online persona enables her to be "a little more intimate" with her fans, and she revealed that interested customers can anticipate seeing "more sexy, classy photos and videos."

The model and actress stated, "You might as well be in control of your photos and follow your instincts, because people will do what they want with them regardless."
