From Bay Watch to SpongeBob's Movie
“Baywatch” hunk David Hasselhoff says he’s asked for only one autograph in his life—Cary Grant’s.
As a young actor, David had a proud possession—a photo of Cary Grant signed, “To my barber—To, Bill, who always trimmed me well.” But he had no idea whether or not the autograph was authentic.
When David hit it big on TV with “Knight Rider,” he was invited to a studio luncheon—and he was delighted to learn the legendary star was going to attend, he told Jay Leno.
“So I went in and I met him and said, ‘Hi, Mr. Grant. I’m David Hasselhoff. I’m the guy who talks to the car.’ He had no idea what I was talking about!”
As the dapper actor was leaving in his limousine, David says he jumped in and asked for his autograph.
“He goes, ‘Well, you’re an odd sort, aren’t you?’ I said, ‘Yes I am, I am, I really am.’ And I got the autograph.” The signature perfectly matched the one on the old photo.
