David Hasselhoff is returning to his iconic franchise Baywatch, but this time there’s a twist. In an interview with the Daily Express, The Young and the Restless alum revealed:

“I’ve just met the guy writing the film. I’m going to play myself.’’

Hasselhoff shed a bit more light on the project,

“We’re trying to make it a very cool, updated version."
