‘90s heartthrob David Charvet reveals why he fled Hollywood after ‘Baywatch' fame
Life's a beach. Former 'Baywatch' star David Charvet walked away from Hollywood to work in construction — and has no regrets. 'I don't miss the fame,' Charvet, 53, told People. 'I don't miss the workload that we had because we used to work a lot, and it's very hard to raise a family that way. I commend all of the actors who have families that are able to balance that.' 9 David Charvet with Nicole Eggert in 'Baywatch.'

The French born actor was on the show from 1992 to 1995, playing Matt Brody. 'I miss the camaraderie that I had with the people on the sets,' he told the outlet. 'I had old-school producers and old-school people that worked as a unit, and it was a real family.' In the 2017 'Baywatch' movie, Zac Efron played that character. 9 David Charvet in California in June 2025. WCP,4cnrs / BACKGRID After 'Baywatch,' Charvet was on 'Melrose Place' from 1996 to 1998. He also appeared on shows like 'Seduced and Betrayed' and the 2009 ABC reality show 'The Superstars' and briefly had a music career in France. Charvet tied the knot with actress and model Brooke Burke in 2011, and welcomed daughter Heaven, now 18, and son Shaya, now 18, before they divorced in 2020. 9 Brooke Burke-Charvet and David Charvet attend Operation Smile's Annual Smile Gala – Inside at the Broad Stage in Santa Monica, California, on September 9, 2017.

'It was one way for me to leave Hollywood and to still be creative,' he told the outlet about his business, which builds luxury homes in Los Angeles. 'It was also one way for me to ensure that I would be home every morning and home every night so that I could raise my two children.' 9 Nicole Eggert, David Hasselhoff, Alexandra Paul, David Charvet, and Pamela Anderson in 'Baywatch.'

'The goal was when I got my children, when they were born, was that I was going to be hands-on. I promised Brooke that I would be that man,' he explained. 'I wouldn't change anything.' 'I have to say that what I've experienced with my kids and what I've experienced in the last 17 years has definitely made me a better man,' Charvet continued. '[It] has made me understand what it is to have real relationships and be able to treat people kindly and have more of a humble approach in life.' 'Baywatch' ran for 11 seasons from 1989 to 2001. The show also starred David Hasselhoff, Jeremy Jackson, Yasmine Bleeth, the late Michael Newman and Nicole Eggert.

A.PRESSE: Subtlety as Disruption
operates with a somewhat muted aesthetic. Why do you think simplicity resonates with today's audience? People are exhausted by external validation. In a capitalist economy, 'likes' have become a new form of currency, encouraging individuals to operate like media entities. More and more, people are beginning to feel that this comes at a significant cost. Rather than being shaped by others, they feel the need to shape themselves, which naturally leads to a preference for simplicity. Your designs incorporate modern elements into classic American menswear. How do you strike that balance in your design process? Are there any items or periods that have particularly influenced you? I'm not fond of the way the word 'fashion' is commonly used today, but I do believe that people always have a certain mood or feeling. This feeling isn't centered around individuals. It emerges from the flow of the world itself, which is different from fleeting trends. Since clothing is worn by people living in the present, I do consciously consider the 'now.' However, I also believe that what we create shouldn't be confined to the present moment—it should be something that transcends time. I've learned from classic craftsmanship, culture, and historical context, so I make sure not to lose sight of those influences. That's why I avoid exaggerated expressions of a specific era. I'm particularly influenced by the mid-century period and earlier. I believe that all true originals existed before the 1960s, with roots tracing back even further. Each decade, including the 1950s, has its own unique appeal, but ultimately, everything happening today is a repetition of the past. History has never been interrupted, so the deeper you trace it, the more you realize that clothing, politics, religion, and economics are all interconnected, shaping the way we think about design. You've mentioned your appreciation for French vintage brands like Hermès and Charvet. How do they influence your work? Even if the country is different, the perspective remains the same. Of course, environments and cultures vary, and their historical roots differ as well, but I view them all from a neutral standpoint.
