David Hasselhoff’s Tips On How To Be More Like Him
The Hoff—Knight Rider himself!—shares tips for gaining worldwide fame.
Listen to Strangers
“Way back, a girl named Nicki from Austria won a meet-and-greet contest with me. She said, ‘Do you know your record is number one in my country?’ I immediately organizeda trip overseas.”
Harness the Power of Bikinis
“Do a TV show with lots of sun and scantily clad girls. The weather is so bad in Europe, they’ll love it.”
Pick a Winner
“The one word that everyone in the world knows is freedom, so write a song about it. People in the U.S. have made such a joke of my appearance at the Berlin Wall, but it was like Woodstock over there.”
Do Something Stupid
“At one point in your life, make a personal tape that should never get out so people can look at it 25 million times on YouTube—and still love you.”
Be Blessed With a Ridiculous Name
“I’m lucky to have a funny name like Hasselhoff, because then you can say things like Hoff-tastic, Hoff-stuff, face-Hoff, and Hoffy-birthday. And get one you can make a catchphrase out of, because everyone knows you don’t hassle the Hoff!”
