“The perception for me is David Hasselhoff from Baywatch and Knight Rider. I get it every day, every hour, every five minutes,” he said.
“People want to take a picture with me, get an autograph, talk about the shows. So I wanted to change that.
“I wanted to say I was an actor in Baywatch, but in this show I played myself. It’s supposed to be a comedy, but it gets really heavy along the way.’
Asked if he could still perform stunts at his age, he explained that he needed ‘a lot of stunts’ for his latest project.
“I had an operation on my knee in Germany and I was in a lot of pain. If you watch the show, you’ll see me walking and then you’ll see me walking weird,” he said. “But the stunt was absolutely amazing.”
