'Don't Hassel the Hoff!': Baywatch star changes his name

The term ‘Don’t Hassel the Hoff’ has never been truer.

Baywatch star David Hasselhoff has officially changed his name to David Hoff, ditching the Hassel entirely.

Why?

Because he’s been keen to drop the Hassel from his life ‘for years’.

“I’ve been wanting to drop the Hassel from my life for years. Now I have made it official,” he said in a video announcement, pointing to what appears to be a certificate of name change.

The 63-year-old tweeted: “Big news today and a massive relief for me. I hope everyone can understand … it feels great!”

It’s unconfirmed if the name has been legally changed but it looks like the Hoff is free to sign autographs 'Hassel free' from now on.
