Even though his popular TV series “Baywatch” has been off the air for more than a decade,
David Hasselhoff still feels a connection with the younger generation
“When Justin Bieber comes up and goes, ‘Hoff!’ and then Selena Gomez says, ‘It’s so weird he loves you,’ it’s great. It just means that you’re hip and it’s cool,” the 60-year-old actor said in a recent interview.
“Baywatch” aired from 1989 to 2000. Hasselhoff also starred in the TV series “Knight Rider,” which aired from 1982 to 1986. To stay part of the conversation, Hasselhoff keeps busy and is always working. He stars in a Lifetime movie “The Christmas Consultant,” opposite Caroline Rhea. He was to tweet backstage for MTV at Sunday’s European Music Awards and play Captain Hook in a Peter Pan pantomime in December in Manchester, England.
Hasselhoff talks about his hopes for a retro “Knight Rider” movie.
There’s a “Knight Rider” movie in development. What can you say about it?
If you make the “Knight Rider” movie and you don’t make it retro and you don’t appeal to all the people that love the show, that grew up with it … if you don’t, it’s not gonna be “Knight Rider.” It will probably be a hit because “Knight Rider” is a great title but it won’t be “Knight Rider.” … It’s in the hands of a company and hopefully I’ll meet with them and we’ll see what direction it’s going in.
