Feb. 14 (UPI) -- Arrow and Heels actor Stephen Amell is set to star in a reboot of the lifeguard drama, Baywatch.

Amell shared on his Instagram account a screenshot of a media report about his casting news along with a photo of him as a little boy wearing swim trunks and standing on a surf board.

"I'm fully aware that Baywatch is iconic -- and at its heart, it's entertainment. It's big, fun, and unapologetically larger than life. But filming it here in Los Angeles adds a deeper layer of meaning," Amell wrote.
