Priyanka Chopra is playing sexy baddie Victoria Leeds in her Hollywood debut film Baywatch. It's an antagonist character.
Priyanka about her Baywatch character said, "She has a point to prove. She’s a woman in a man’s world. She’s not just a random woman with money, she’s self-made. This is not just drugs and money for her, it’s power. That’s the cause."
PeeCee added, "My mom and me, it was our favorite thing to watch. I loved the theme song, I loved how everybody was backlit, running in slow motion. When I became a Hindi movie actress, I used to take inspiration and do all of my slow motion acting from Baywatch. "
Director of Baywatch, Seth Gordon said, "As soon as I spoke to her, I knew she could do it. I really loved the idea of Dwayne going up against a female antagonist. Her approach is purely psychological. It’s about outsmarting, it’s about out-winning, it’s about taking advantage of the male ego, all that stuff… She really was just a much more interesting person for him to go up against, because it wasn’t going to be just brawn or grit."
