David Charvet<\/strong> is best known for his role on Baywatch<\/em> in the \u201990s, and one glance at his lookalike son makes it clear that the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.<\/p>\n Charvet, 53, was born and raised in France before heading stateside and taking Hollywood by storm. It was his role as the handsome high schooler Matt Brody on Baywatch<\/em> that catapulted him to superstardom and made him a household name among young women who loved his hair flip and washboard abs. (Which he clearly still has!)<\/p>\n After departing Baywatch<\/em>, Charvet headed to Melrose Place<\/em> and also pursued a music<\/a> career. He even had success<\/a> on the charts in his native country of France. But these days, Charvet’s favorite role is devoted dad, and he regularly hits the gym with his son, Shay<\/strong>. In a shirtless selfie, the father-son duo shared a photo that showed they basically have the same face. It’s almost mindblowing how much Shay looks like his father did at his age!<\/p>\n “No filters just hard work @buildlosangeles_<\/a> proud of you @shayacharvet<\/a> \u2764\ufe0f,” David captioned the photo, to which Shay replied, “Let’s go.”<\/p>\n \ud83c\udfacSIGN UP for Parade\u2019s Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox<\/strong><\/a>\ud83c\udfac<\/p>\n During the show\u2019s heyday, Charvet dated co-star Pamela Anderson<\/a><\/strong>, who played lifeguard C.J. Parker. He went on to marry Brooke Burke<\/strong>, who is the mother of his children, Heaven<\/strong> and Shay<\/strong>. However, the couple divorced in 2020.<\/p>\n While Charvet made headlines as an actor, life in front of the camera doesn\u2019t interest him all that much anymore. He pivoted to working for a residential contractor, The Jones Builders Group, and hasn\u2019t looked back.<\/p>\n \u201cTo wake up every morning early, to be able to be the first face that my kids would see has been a blessing,\u201d Charvet explained to Fox News<\/a> in 2022. \u201cAnd I did it. People to this day ask me, \u2018How come you have such a great relationship with your children?\u2019 And I said to them, \u2018\u2026 I put the time in.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n We love a devoted dad!<\/p>\n Related: \u201890s \u2018Baywatch\u2019 Hunk David Charvet, 53, Is More Handsome Than Ever as He Snuggles up to His Mom<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n This story was originally published by Parade<\/a> on Mar 29, 2026, where it first appeared in the News<\/a> section.
