Actor Adam Demos opens up on his exciting new role

·

Australian actor Adam Demos, takes on a new challenge in Rescue: HI-Surf, where he plays lifeguard Will Ready on O‘ahu’s North Shore. “I’ve got more clothes on in this one,” he jokes speaking to The Advertiser, contrasting it with his past performances.

According to The Advertiser, growing up on a farm near Wollongong, Demos had to train rigorously to prepare for the demanding physical role, mastering jet skiing, lifesaving techniques, and swimming in rough waves. “95 percent of it was no stunt doubles. It was all us,” he mentioned.

Set against the breathtaking but unforgiving waves of Banzai Pipeline, HI-Surf follows lifeguards tackling everything from shark attacks to sand collapses. The intense on-location filming added realism—and unpredictability. “You can plan for something, and then all of a sudden, the wind will change, the waves will start, the swell will go in a different direction,” he said.

While it may seem reminiscent of Baywatch, HI-Surf offers a serious take on rescue work without the beach montages. “It’s all fast and action-packed,” Demos noted, praising the production’s authenticity.

“I welcome people thinking it might be one thing [and then tuning in], because they’re going to have a really great time watching.”

After gaining fame in UnReal and Sex/Life, Demos embraces his rising star status but remains grounded. “I would be egotistical to be thinking about [being a heart-throb]…I just get in there and try to do a good job.”
