The American actor-and-singer has amassed an impressive fan base since starring in popular TV shows Baywatch and Knight Rider. David has acquired a moniker since being in the public eye, and the star thinks this is testament to his notable reputation.
‘Ninety nine per cent of people now call me The Hoff ‘ and it’s out of respect,’ he assured in an interview with British newspaper The Telegraph.
‘I think people know that I’ve got a good heart. If I do something wrong, I’m the first to say ”Boy, did I fuck up.”’
David also counts Canadian superstar Justin Bieber as a fan. The 60-year-old star believes his younger supporters keep him current.
‘He wanted to wear a T-shirt that said ”I’m with the Hoff at the MTV awards.’ Can you believe that? I got Bieber Fever,” he exclaimed.
‘Because it means I’m current with the kids. Because it means I’m hip.’
