David
Hasselhoff
has
started
dressing
in
drag.
The
former
'Baywatch'
actor
is
starring
as
cross-dressing
director
Roger
DeBris
in
the
Las
Vegas
production
of
hit
Broadway
musical
'The
Producers'
and
is
struggling
with
the
costume.
Hasselhoff
said:
"Now
I
know
why
women
can't
wait
to
get
out
of
heels.
"I'll
only
wear
the
two
inch
pumps,
if
I
wore
the
three
inch
I'd
fall
over
like
a
giraffe." The
actor
also
has
to
wear
a
35lb
beaded-gown
for
the
part,
along
with
a
red
wig.
He
added:
"I
look
like
Dennis
Rodman
on
acid."
Hasselhoff, 54, admits he was initially unsure about accepting the cross-dressing role. After deciding to play a transvestite, the actor realised most of his roles have been strange. He said: "I never thought I'd be talking to a car in 'Knight Rider', or achieve syndication history with a crazy show like 'Baywatch'." Hasselhoff has decorated his dressing room backstage with life-size cut-outs and posters of himself in 'Baywatch' and 'Knight Rider'. He said: "I must be the most self-indulgent person to have this stuff. But I've got to market 'The Hoff'."
