It's finally starting to happen! David's movie from last year is making it's way to DVD. Lifetime's Christmas Consultant is now available for pre-order in Germany and now available on-demand from Amazon.com. The movie isn't yet available in the UK, but we're keeping an eye out for the UK fans.
David Hasselhoff was on HLN's Showbiz Tonight this evening to promote his new movie, The Christmas Consultant. He also took part in the Showbiz Countdown which asked the question, "Brilliant or bananas?" on 3 celebrity-related stories. Take a look.
I haven't been able to find David's appearance on Hallmark's Home and Family, so I decided to record it from my TV. Apologies for the quality, hope you enjoy it.
Melissa Chapman from Lifetime Moms interviewed David Hasselhoff yesterday about his new movie, The Christmas Consultant and asked him about parenting and his charity work.
In this light hearted comedy, a workaholic couple with four quirky kids hire a sought after, over-the-top, male Christmas consultant (David Hasselhoff) to help get them through the holidays. And -after screening the film I can assure you- the Hoff does not disappoint. He totally has over-the-top down to a science in this role and kicks Lifetime's movie holiday season off into high gear. We caught up with him, before he headed back to Europe- where his rock star stage shows are in high demand!What convinced you to star in this Lifetime movie?DH: It all came together rather organically. Lifetime has always been a special place to me because of a picture I did for CBS which was rerun on Lifetime called “One True Loveâ€. Ratings went through and the film was an opportunity for people to see me play a real character. So working on the “Christmas Consultantâ€Â was a chance for me to get back in touch with that audience--and the decision to do so was truly a no-brainer. I love the Lifetime audience and I think this character, while he's kind of corny, is also really cute and funny and one kids will relate to as well. I like doing it all -  the live performances, TV and yes even the crazy toilet humor-- but I truly loved working on this movie because it was a chance for me to get back to my acting roots and play a real character, which is my first love.Do you watch Lifetime?DH: I've been out of the country doing my live shows in Europe, Germany, Austria touring with an “Evening with David Hasselhoff†but since I've been back, and especially since doing this film, I've been watching Lifetime and I have to say that I love that its programming is so diversified. I'm also pretty excited about being able to kick off their “It’s a Wonderful Lifetime†block of 50 movies --- because growing up my favorite movie was “It's a Wonderful Lifeâ€.Of course we have to ask after playing the quintessential Christmas decorator in this film - are you actually big into Christmas decorating in your personal life?DH: We deck our house out every Christmas. I have a big colonial estate with a Christmas tree covered with lights and when my kids were younger, we even hired a real Santa Claus. I couldn't believe he drove up in a Volkswagen - and I still remember my kids looking for his sleigh on our roof. I love Christmas.Ok- what my kids really want to know is when are you making another film with “SpongeBobâ€?DH: My agent didn't even know who SpongeBob was! I wish they'd make another one - everywhere I go kids recognize me from SpongeBob. I love being able to keep current with kids. In fact, I was being considered for another role for Lifetime which wasn't as family friendly- and I'm really glad they chose to cast me in the “Christmas Consultant†instead. It gave me the opportunity to create this totally crazy and over-the-top character. I am also truly honored that our film is the one kicking off the holiday season!Tell us more about your work with kids.DH: For the past couple of years I've been working with a charity called Wheels for Humanity where we refurbish wheelchairs for kids in Vietnam, Costa Rica, and Mexico. We also fit kids who have lost legs to mines and illnesses with wheelchairs - some of whom had never even seen wheel chairs. I also just did an appearance at a school in Wales where I had a chance to talk to some kids who are living in a tough neighborhood and going through rough home situations. They all know me from the SpongeBob movie and I think that helped me win them over for 40 minutes. I'll never forget when we were filming “Knight Rider†- during the first week of filming the show, we had a child named Randy visit from the Make a Wish Foundation. Before Randy passed away he wrote me a letter saying, "Your cast taught me there's more to life than pain" and his letter has always inspired me to continue to help wherever and whenever I can. And if being on SpongeBob helps me connect with the kids I'm grateful for it. This life I've been given is a gift.What was the best piece of parenting advice you have ever gotten and one you'd give to other single dads?DH: Be honest with your kids and they in turn will be honest with you. They won’t be afraid to tell you when you're screwing up and vice versa. I've also learned that we can't stop kids from growing up - but we can teach them consequences. We can try and lead them in a specific direction- but we can't stop them from taking their own paths. As a dad I have tried to let my kids know that I will be there for them, but I also let them know that they need to create their own lives. And remember to give them a big hugs - sometimes we forget this. In fact, my daughter is constantly coming over to give ME hugs.Have your kids seen this movie?DH: Yes, I left them copies on their pillows before I headed out!So what's next for "The Hoff"?DH: Right now we're in talks to do “David Hasselhoff: The Musical†on Broadway-- we did it in Edinborough and it got great reviews; we're thinking of calling it from: Baywatch to Broadway to Berlin.

The Hoff, David Hasselhoff is back on TV with his new holiday movie “The Christmas Consultant†premiering Saturday November 10th at 8 on Lifetime. Even though it’s been 26 years since his first hit show “Knight Rider†went off the air, many of the children of the 80s still know and love David best for cruising around in his talking car KITT wearing his sweet leather jacket and fighting bad buys.So, how long has it been since he actually got behind the wheel of KITT and took him for a spin? “I have my own KITT car, which is now being chromed and I just drove it last Sunday. It was given to me as a gift from my staff for my 60th birthday,†David tells us. “I have the original dash and I have a lot of original stuff…we just put it all together.â€

David Hasselhoff needs no introduction. This American actor made waves in India in the late 80s and the 90s with his stint, first in the hit TV series Knight Rider and then again, with Baywatch. Chennai Times gets chatting with the actor who will be appearing in a new film Piranha 3DD.Can you tell us about your role inPiranha 3DD?I play the role of David Hasselhoff. There was a lot of competition out there but I won the role! I took a little training to play David Hasselhoff. I'm very excited to play him. He is one of my favorite actors and all time hero; so to play him is kind of to live up to the expectation was a little nerve racking. But I think I pulled it off. I went into a deep trance, and every night I meditated, and I read David Hasselhoff's book to try to find out who he was about.It's kind of the dark side of David Hasselhoff, and I enjoyed playing that and especially not wanting to rescue the ginger little moron kid. And not making any of the rescues — I just thought it was the funniest thing ever!Aren't you annoyed that your past few appearances in movies have been as a celebrity guest, mostly playing yourself?I think it's funny playing David Hasselhoff. And it works because I was able to play David Hasselhoff, and kind of get to the essence of him.How was the experience shooting for the film?It was amazing. The cast and crew were so creative. I got to take a piranha home with me. It's in my house now. And it's strange because every time I try to feed it, it's pretty scary. I got a little blood in my eye once, but I kept going. I'm a hero! There were so many girls in such a good shape that it looked like Baywatch on steroids. It was living in 3D moment every time you go to the pool. It was distracting at times like, 'Oh my God! What's that?' But it was more fun watching everyone in the pool get... eaten by the fish. And there was a lot of blood.What's next on the cards?I've got a film in development called Jungle Brats, which is like Goonies. I've got a movie coming out called The Christmas Consultant. It's really a big role. It's the lead. So things are really turning around for me.Would you ever consider doing a new Knight Rider Movie?I'm actually looking to try to bring back Knight Rider.Have you watched any Indian films before?Does Slumdog Millionaire count? Yes, I have watched several.What are your first thoughts when you hear India?I think I could live off of Indian food! I love it all, especially the chicken korma! I would love to have any reason to come to India. I am ready to come to the India ... so call me!
On the set of his new Lifetime movie The Christmas Consultant, David Hasselhoff revealed his thoughts to ET as to why social media sites like Twitter are very beneficial for actors like himself."Tweeting is a wonderful thing for actors because now we control the press," he said. "So if somebody writes something that's not true...we are able to say, 'No, no, no, this is what really happened; this is where we really are; this is what we're really doing; and this is what we'd like to feed out to the world.' And it's great."Video: David Hasselhoff Meets His Match With the 'Same Name'Hasselhoff, who is an avid user of social media and is known to express his true opinions, expressed the importance of sticking true to oneself amid false rumors. "You gotta live your life," he said. "Whatever people write about you--the main thing is there's one person in the world who knows the truth, and that's you."The 59-year-old actor, who plays a "combination drill sergeant and magical elf" in the film, also expressed his feelings about Dancing with the Stars, on which he once starred. "I've opened on Broadway. I've performed in front of Mel Brooks and the producers. I've done the West End. Nothing was as terrifying as the first night on 'Dancing with the Stars' because you just get very little time to practice and then you're on," he saidVideo: Pop Culture Rewind: Hasselhoff Filming 'Baywatch Nights'Although he conveyed respect for anyone who performs on Dancing with the Stars, Hasselhoff revealed his point of view as to how the show operates. "It's not just 'Dancing with the Stars,'" he theorized. "It's 'let's see your breaking point'...They want to get everybody burning out and getting tired so they grab you as soon as you come in, in your worst moments. So you go, 'OK, I got this gag.'"Hasselhoff is currently filming Lifetime's The Christmas Consultant in British Columbia.
