‘Baywatch’ producers Michael Berk and Douglas Schwartz have revealed that Oscar winner Leonardo Dicaprio was nearly cast in the show as David Hasselhoff’s son. DiCaprio’s career path might have looked very different if he had landed the role of Hobie Buchannon, but perhaps fatefully for him, David Hasselhoff nixed the idea.

Leonardo DiCaprio was nearly cast in ‘Baywatch’.

Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, Berk said: "We actually had DiCaprio ready to be cast. But David thought he was too old to play his son.” Schwartz added: "David thought it would make him look older. He had a lot of concerns of that type.”

Pamela Anderson has reportedly joined the cast of the Baywatch movie re-make, heading back to where it all began for her, despite recently claiming she wasn’t interested in TV remakes.

The movie’s primary star Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson shared an Instagram picture of himself posing with the iconic model, whose career took off with the hugely popular beachside drama series in the late ‘80s.

“We couldn’t have made this movie without you. Welcome home. Thrilled you had a blast with us!,” the actor wrote in the caption. 48 year old Anderson is therefore the second actor from the original series to sign on to appear in some capacity in the forthcoming movie re-make, set for release on May 19th, 2017.

David Hasselhoff is to feature in a new Baywatch movie that also stars Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson and Zac Efron, it has been revealed.

Johnson will reportedly be playing the role of Mitch Buchannon, the part occupied by the Hoff in the original TV series which ran from 1989 to 2000 – meaning that it’s as yet unclear what role Hasselhoff will be playing in this new movie reboot.

Announcing the news in an Instagram video on Thursday (March 3rd), Johnson was seen chatting via FaceTime with his future co-star Hasselhoff, asking the 63 year old actor “I don't know if the world is ready for both of us. Are you ready?”

'Baywatch' star and general TV legend David Hasselhoff has decided to change his name to ease the hassle of his life, and becomes just plain David Hoff - undoubtedly an homage to his endearing nickname 'The Hoff'. Now he just sounds like a cigar brand (Davidoff - geddit?).

David Hasselhoff drops the 'Hassel'

The cheesy 80s actor (and we say that with great affection) who appeared in 'Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No!' earlier this year opted for the name change as part of an Australian ad campaign - more on the subject will be revealed later - but he sure had us convinced that it was all for real with his video announcement.

David Hasselhoff will be hitting Dave with a brand new, six-part spoof reality TV show set to air in 2015. The show will feature a semi-fictionalised Hoff and has been described to be akin to Curb Your Enthusiasm in style.

David Hasselhoff's new show is set to hit Dave in 2015

There are three distinct possibilities for the Hoff’s new comedy venture: the show will be genuinely funny, garner critical praise and get a second season before the first one is out, probably on another network; or it’ll be unintentionally funny and get laughs because it’s a bit naff; or it’ll be the horrible, slow death of a cult hero. We’ve a horrible feeling the latter might be in store.

Is David Hasselhoff retiring? His actions recently certainly bear the hallmarks of someone heading off towards the land of bingo halls, church fates and weekly trips to the hospital. As with many who retire, Hasselhoff seems to be downsizing his life somewhat. Following his decision to sell his luscious house in Encino for a cool $3.795 million, the Hoff has made a move on a cheaper property, a home in Calabasas for a significantly cheaper $1.95 million.

So what gives, Hoff? Perhaps he’s just playing the housing market like a shrewd dealer, but we reckon that – aged 60 – the dude’s looking to wind things down a little, and who can blame him. He did a lot of running about as part of Baywatch, the fella probably took a few years off his life just doing that. Sources have told TMZ that the actor and multi-million selling musician (mainly in Germany) purchased the 5,767-sq.-ft. Mediterranean home in Calabasas last week.

Its vital statistics include a 5-bedroom, 6-bathroom house sits in a small gated community. It’s even got its own basketball court, so it’s not exactly like he’s roughing it in his old age. We’d be surprised to see him out shooting hoops on a regular basis, though saying that he has kept himself trim all these years, maybe that’s the secret.

Back in 1989, David Hasselhoff celebrated the fall of the Berlin Wall – that had separated citizens in West and East Germany for so long – by standing atop one of the remaining sections and singing his song ‘Looking For Freedom.’ Now, in 2013, that same celebrity has returned to the East Side Gallery, the longest remaining stretch of the wall in Berlin and joined a campaign to save what remains of the wall.

The East Side gallery – a section of the wall, adorned with various original works of art - is intended as a monument to the history of the city and indeed the country but The Guardian reports that efforts are being made to remove the wall, in order to build luxury apartments, close to the trendy Kreuzberg area of the city. Activists are concerned that the developers Living Bauhaus will send their construction workers back to the area this week. David Hasselhoff appeared at a demonstration at the East Side Gallery to protest the developments and has vowed to help where he can, to reserve the wall as an historical monument.

“This last piece of the wall is really sacred, it's the last memorial to the people who died and to the perseverance of freedom,” said Hasselhoff. “I don't think I can afford to buy the land," Hasselhoff explained to The Guardian. "But we could raise the money – maybe we will.” It remains to be seen whether his star status will enable activists to halt the demolition of the wall and uphold the preservation of the monument.

It's that time of year again! The nominations for this year's Razzies have been announced, with Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 2 - which made a ridiculous $814 million at the box office - leading the way with 11 nominations, including Worst Film and Worst Sequel. A spoof of the Academy Awards, this year's Razzies' picks arrived just one day before Thursday's Oscar nominations. So which directors, actors and actresses will have let out a giant, "NOOOOOOOOOOOO" when catching wind of the infamous nominations today? And perhaps more importantly, who should win (or lose). Which movies and performances really were the worst of the worst? Here goes.

David Hasselhoff’s Welsh girlfriend Hayley Roberts has revealed that she’s ready to accept a marriage proposal. The Hoff has already proposed to 32 year-old Hayley three times, in different locations but so far she has always turned him down. However, she told The Mirror that she reckons she’s ready now: “If and when he asks again, I’ll say yes,” she told the British newspaper. Perhaps she still hasn’t seen that David Hasselhoff cheeseburger video?

“I don’t think he’ll do the traditional thing and get my dad’s blessing first but that doesn’t bother me. Hardly anyone does that any more,” said Hayley. “We’ve been together for over 18 months now so I think I’m ready.” Tradition clearly isn’t high on Hasselhoff’s list of priorities. He and Hayley have been scouring the Cotswolds for a new home and now that they have found one in a village called Broadway, he has already declared that he intends to rename it Hoffway. “I’m hoping the locals take to us,” he said, though we’re not sure that changing the name of their village is such a great way to ingratiate yourselves with the locals. “I love your country and almost feel like an honorary Brit now,” said the Hoff, though he admits that Hayley’s Welsh homeland is nothing like anything he has ever known before.

The interview took place after he took part in the Virgin London Triathlon, in a celebrity team with Alexandra Burke and a journalist from The Mirror. He opted to do the 20km cycle ride, explaining that- somewhat ironically - his Baywatch years had given him a fear of open water. “It stems from too many takes in the freezing, choppy ocean during my Baywatch days,” he explained.
