David Hasselhoff exercises his role as a crossdressing director in 'The Producers', struggling with heels and gowns and wigs that sometimes he feels like basketball player Dennis Rodman on acid.
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'."
