It's confused fans

Published 13th Nov 2015

David Hasselhoff has changed his name to David Hoff.

On Twitter the star said it's a massive relief and he hopes everyone can understand his decision. He added he's wanted to drop the 'Hassel' from his name for years.

It surprised some fans, with one asking if it was an April Fools joke - although it's not April. Puns were made with 'hassle' while other people were just confused.

Unfortunately for the actor his Twitter is still @DavidHasselhoff.

He recently starred in the film Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No.
