“Baywatch” star David Hasselhoff recently celebrated a milestone birthday. This is how he feels as a freshly baked seventy-year-old.
David Hasselhoff turned 70 on July 17. The actor and singer apparently has no problem with age. “Life is just beginning for me at 70,” he said the “People” magazine. “When you’re 70, it’s about enjoying life as a person. I’m like a new person.”
But age has one disadvantage: “You can no longer run, jump or fight. You can no longer do all the things that you really want to do and that I used to be able to do.”
The “Knight Rider” star doesn’t let it get him down: “I just do what’s in front of me and do my best, and that pays off.” Entertainer Sammy Davis Jr. (1925-1990) gave him this advice. “They won’t like you for how you behave. They won’t like you because you’re tall and thin and you’re reasonably good looking. But they will never blame you for giving 100 percent,” Davis Jr. said – and Be right.

Retiring is therefore out of the question for “The Hoff” for the time being. The action comedy series “Ze Network” starring David Hasselhoff recently premiered. The Hollywood star plays himself alongside Henry Hübchen (75). “It was very important to me to do a good job in my last series because it’s so crazy, so bizarre. It’s definitely not for that ‘Baywatch’ audience,” Hasselhoff joked to People.
33 years after his mega hit “Looking for Freedom”, David Hasselhoff continues to perform as a singer. Last autumn he released his current album “Party Your Hasselhoff”. Among other things, “Damnit I Love You”, an English-language cover version of the hit “Verdammt, ich lieb’ Dich” can be heard on it. Hasselhoff plans to tour with the album in 2023.
His main goal is to stay healthy. “So that I can influence people in a positive way,” he told People.
