Early life

[2] He attended Temple University, where he met future Bloodhound Gang member Jimmy Pop. At various times, Hasselhoff has claimed to be the illegitimate son or tennis partner of Knight Rider actor David Hasselhoff, although neither of these appear to be the case.[3]

Other projects

In 2007, Hasselhoff played bass for the German crunk artist Tony Damager's song "Totalschaden". He also played bass in the video clip, along with Sido on drums and B-Tight on the guitar.

Hasselhoff participated in the Wok championship 2010 ("Wok-WM 2010") in Oberhof on March 19, 2010.[5] He also participated in the Wok-WM 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, and 2022.

Hasselhoff guest-starred as himself in two episodes of the German soap opera Verbotene Liebe, which aired in June 2008 on German television channel Das Erste.[6]

On March 30, 2012, Hasselhoff defeated two-time Olympic discus medalist Lars Riedel via a fourth-round KO to become the German celeb-boxing heavyweight champion.[4]

Hasselhoff currently has a recurring role as himself in the ProSieben game shows Duell um die Welt, Die beste Show der Welt and Joko & Klaas gegen Prosieben.[7]

Hasselhoff is the host of the alternative science magazine Evil Science which airs on the German ProSieben Maxx network.[8]

In 2023, Hasselhoff appeared on the German survival show Arctic Warrior, where he teamed up with Hauke Kuehl, another participant, to survive five days in Finland, while walking through arctic zones of Lapland.[9] Both then went on to win the show.[10]

In December 2024, Hasselhoff took part in a special professional wrestling-themed episode of TV total. Hasselhoff trained and competed alongside full-time German professional wrestler Toni Harting as a tag team for the episode.[11]

Personal life

In 2006, Hasselhoff moved to Berlin, Germany. He originally planned to stay in Germany for just a few months. Over time, however, he extended his stay and spent more and more time in the country. One reason for this move was his mother's enthusiasm for Germany, who worked as a German teacher in Kassel and Bonn. Hasselhoff also found the longer opening hours of the bars in Germany particularly appealing compared to the USA.[12]

Hasselhoff has obsessive compulsive disorder, and has asked for his requested Skittles to be separated by color on at least one rider while on tour.[13] According to his episode of MTV Cribs, he also suffers from irritable bowel syndrome.

In 2013, Ukraine banned Hasselhoff from entering the country for five years after he allegedly urinated on the Ukrainian flag at a concert in Kyiv. A few days later, the band was due to perform at Russia's Kubana Festival on the Black Sea coast, but the gig did not go ahead, due to another concert stunt in which he stuffed the Russian flag into his underpants. Instead, they were questioned by police and were ordered to leave Russia.[14]
