The beauty and the beach

American actress and New Yorker, Ilfenesh Hadera recently had a sunny photoshoot with ‘Red Bulletin’ magazine before the May 26 release of her most awaited movie of the year ‘Baywatch’.

Recalling the grueling lifeguard training sessions they had to go through for the movie, Hadera said:

“For two months, we trained twice a week, two hours a session. Two hours in the pool is a long time. Swimming is insane exercise – a total body workout.”

Talking about the forthcoming movie, Ilfenesh Hadera said:

“But the film is also fun and doesn’t take itself super-seriously. It’s by no means a spoof of the original Baywatch, but it’s action-packed, with explosions and boat chases.”

Ilfenesh Hadera feels that this movie has given a fresh lease of life to the 1989-2001 TV series by this same name. She said that the film Baywatch team was a really good one and they had a great time on the sets while shooting for it.

She denied any cattiness amongst the three women on the sets of the movie. Hadera said that they all wanted to give their best for themselves and never thought of outshining anyone else.

The strong women in her life

Ilfenesh Hadera’s mother is an American while her father migrated to America from Ethiopia. They run the African Services Committee, an organization that works for refugees from Ethiopia.

Ilfenesh Hadera is grateful to her parents for teaching her to be compassionate and generous and a good person. She said that she is also fortunate to have in her life strong women such as her mother and grandmother.

Admiring them, Ilfenesh Hadera said:

“I’m really lucky to have been raised by some incredibly strong women. My mother and grandmother are the most compassionate, wonderful, lovely women I know, but they are f**king tough.”
“My grandmother is 84, and she’s active, self-sufficient, smart, adventurous and as tough as nails, My mom is the same. She’s my best friend. She’s from Vermont and has a total hippy vibe. She never judges, always listens, and gives great advice.”
