David Hasselhoff

Actor and singer David Hasselhoff is inscribed in the Guinness Book of Records as the most viewed person on television. The American's success was in the most popular 1990s TV series, "The Rescuers of Malibu," where he ran side by side along the snow-white Pacific with Pamela Anderson.

David Michael Hasselhoff's biography begins on July 17, 1952, in Baltimore, Maryland, with the family of housewife Dolores Therese (nee Mullinex) and businessman Joseph Vincent Hasselhoff. The boy was passed on German, Irish and English roots.

David first grew up in Jacksonville, Florida, then his parents moved him to Atlanta, Georgia, where the boy first went to Marist High School. At the age of 7, the American made his debut on the stage, playing in a school production of Peter Pan. While his classmates wanted to become astronauts, police officers and firefighters, Hasselhoff dreamed of performing on Broadway.

In 1970, David graduated from Lyons Township School in La Grange, Illinois. Active social activities - the young man was the president of the choir, captain of the volleyball team, a member of the club of eloquence and a frequent guest of school performances - helped Hasselhoff easily enter the University of Oakland, and then - the California Institute of arts in the drama department.

In his youth, Hasselhoff was mind-blowingly beautiful: curly hair, eagle nose and sensual lips, coupled with charisma wide open to the actor doors in show business. Largely due to his appearance in 1974, David got the role of William Foster in the TV series "Young and Daring". The image was fixed for the actor for a long 7 years, from 1975 to 1982, and turned the novice American actor into a superstar.

Hasselhoff may have continued to star in Young and Daring, but the producers decided to update the cast by diluting the familiar stories with new characters. Unable to tolerate competition, David left the project. Then the proposal of the president of NBC Brandon Tarticoff to play the main role in the TV series "Knight of the Road" was successfully turned up.

The story tells the story of a police officer Michael Long, who is killed on a mission. Elderly millionaire and inventor Wilton Knight brings the young man back to life and puts on his shoulders the duty - to protect the city from evil.

The main project of the young American - the series "Savers of Malibu." After one season, in 1989, Hasselhoff's photo of swimming trunks was as much a gamble as posters with Pamela Anderson. In 1991, the actor invested in the show and became an executive producer. Of course, the amount of airtime has increased.

The history of "The Rescuers of Malibu" goes back 11 years, during which time the series was watched by more than a billion viewers in 140 countries. Impressive statistics allowed to include Hasselhoff in the Guinness Book of Records as the most viewed TV actor. The American earned more than $100 million for the show.

"The Rescuers of Malibu" did not prevent Hasselhoff from replenishing the filmography with separate film projects: "The Last Alliance" (1990), "Dead Grip" (1996), "The Legacy" (1998), "Nick Fury: Superagent" (1998), "Transit" (2001). At the same time, David fulfilled the dream of his life and made his Broadway debut in the musical "Jekyll and Hyde" (2000).

In the 2000s, Hasselhoff was no longer that young handsome man, and therefore surprised the audience with eloquence and wit. On his account comedy films "SpongeBob - square pants" (2004), "Click: With a remote control in life" (2006), "Revolt eared" (2011), "Guardians of the Galaxy. Part 2" (2017).

In 2010, David starred with his daughters Taylor Ann and Hayley in the reality show Hasselhoffa. The series was an attempt to revive the career of the American and push the children to Hollywood. The hopes of the star family did not come true: the first episode was watched by 718,000 viewers, the second - 505,000, and the production center A and E decided to close the project.

He made his first steps as a singer in the children's program "Kids Incorporated" in 1975, performing the song "Do You Love Me". In 1989, The American Charts topped Hasselhoff's album "Looking for Freedom". It became triple platinum in Europe thanks in large part to the success of the main single of the same name in Germany.

The fact that the track "Looking for Freedom" David performed on the Berlin Wall 2 months after its formal "collapse" and 9 months before the unification of Germany and the GDR. Even now, this song is the pop anthem of East Germans. At one point, German basketball player Dirk Nowitzki was asked what he was doing to focus before the decisive throw, and he replied, "I'm singing "Looking for Freedom.""

In 2006, Hasselhoff's music video for "Jump in My Car" was released, in which the actor parodied his character from "Knight of the Road". The Pontiac Trans Am from the video is an exact replica of Michael Long's KITT machine: right-hand drive and even with a catapult.

In support of the Swedish short film "Kung Fury" in 2015, David recorded the single "True Survivor". The clip was a parody of the 1980s, when people were interested in dinosaurs, skateboarding, Norse mythology and time travel. Ahead of Guardians of the Galaxy 2, Hasselhoff released the song "Guardians' Inferno".

Music became Hasselhoff's main work in the twilight of his acting career in the 2000s. In total, the singer has released 13 albums.

David Hasselhoff had three wives. The first was actress Katherine Hickland. Their wedding, held on March 24, 1984, was recreated in one of the series "The Scent of Roses". The marriage, which was accompanied by gossip and rumors of infidelity, did not last long - the couple broke up in 1989.

A few months later, Hasselhoff's second wife was actress Pamela Bach. Two daughters, Taylor Ann (May 5, 1990) and Hayley Hasselhoff (August 28, 1992) were in union. In January 2006, the actor, citing irreconcilable differences, filed for divorce. At first, custody of the children was separate, but soon Hasselhoff formalized the sole right to raise girls.

In 2012, at a rugby match, the actor met model Hayley Roberts. The couple married on July 31, 2018 in Italy.

In May 2007, a video appeared on the Internet in which Taylor Ann begs his father, who is in a state of heavy alcoholic intoxication, to quit the bad habit, otherwise not only his career, but the whole personal life can go downhill. Hasselhoff said the recording was posted online at his own request - he wanted to see himself from the outside. In May 2009, the actor's lawyer called him a "recovering alcoholic."

Judging by Instagram, in 2019 Hasselhoff intends to tour Europe: Germany, France, Great Britain, Switzerland, Italy, Spain. Performances are scheduled until Oct. The name "Freedom!" hints that the program will make already well-known hits.

There are plans for 2019 and film projects - the voiceover of the short "Kung Fury - 2" and the action movie "Power Game."
