He helped establish Woxfest, a rock festival in his hometown. [2] He attended Temple University, where he met future Bloodhound Gang member Jimmy Pop. At various times, Hasselhoff has claimed to be the illegitimate son or tennis partner of Knight Rider actor David Hasselhoff, although neither of these appear to be the case.[3] CareerBloodhound Gang As a member of the musical group Bloodhound Gang, Hasselhoff is an Echo award winner and was twice honored with the prestigious Comet award.[4] Other projectsIn 2007, Hasselhoff played bass for the German crunk artist Tony Damager's song "Totalschaden".

Hasselhoff trained and competed alongside full-time German professional wrestler Toni Harting as a tag team for the episode.[11] Personal lifeIn 2006, Hasselhoff moved to Berlin, Germany. He originally planned to stay in Germany for just a few months. Over time, however, he extended his stay and spent more and more time in the country. One reason for this move was his mother's enthusiasm for Germany, who worked as a German teacher in Kassel and Bonn. Hasselhoff also found the longer opening hours of the bars in Germany particularly appealing compared to the USA.[12] Hasselhoff has obsessive compulsive disorder, and has asked for his requested Skittles to be separated by color on at least one rider while on tour.[13] According to his episode of MTV Cribs, he also suffers from irritable bowel syndrome. In 2013, Ukraine banned Hasselhoff from entering the country for five years after he allegedly urinated on the Ukrainian flag at a concert in Kyiv. A few days later, the band was due to perform at Russia's Kubana Festival on the Black Sea coast, but the gig did not go ahead, due to another concert stunt in which he stuffed the Russian flag into his underpants. Instead, they were questioned by police and were ordered to leave Russia.[14] Filmography
