Q&A David Hasselhoff

By Rebecca Winters

David Hasselhoff appears as himself in this month's The SpongeBob Squarepants Movie

Did your kids talk you into this? I took this role specifically because my kids said, "Oh my God, Dad, you have to do it." I was like, What's the big hoopla about SpongeBob?

Whose body is more inherently buoyant, SpongeBob's or Pamela Anderson's? SpongeBob's buoyancy rivals Pamela's.

Did you get to keep the 750-lb. David Hasselhoff replica made for the film's special effects, or did that go straight to the Smithsonian? I'm deciding what to do with it. Right now my kids say we should use it as a mailbox.

What's going on with the Knight Rider movie? It's still in development. There's such a cult following around the world. I even hung out at Kensington Palace with some of the royal family's kids because they're all Knight Rider fans.

What do you think of men who wax their chests? Guys used to come to the [Baywatch] set all the time with no chest hair, and they just look like drowned rats to me. I like to be like SpongeBob and go au naturel.

What's your TV guilty pleasure? The History Channel. I find that riveting.

And you feel guilty about that? I don't feel guilty about anything.
