Earlier this year he also recorded the single True Survivor, which featured as the lead track for Swedish short film Kung Fury.
“The Hoff makes more money than Hasselhoff,” Hoff told The Guardian in an interview in June.
“It’s like a tsunami of Hoff! The Hoff just keeps getting bigger!
“So I just go where The Hoff goes. Also it’s so much more fun.”
