Ahem! 'The Hoff' is still waiting for word on his 'Baywatch' casting

How big a deal is David Hasselhoff's possible appearance in the upcoming Baywatch movie? Well, legendary newsman Dan Rather is asking The Hoff about it.

And it appears that The Hoff is getting a little irked that he hasn't gotten the call to put on the red bathing suit for the screen reboot.

The Hoff told us on the Globes red carpet on Sunday:

"It's one of the most asked questions. Even with Dan Rather yesterday. 'What about the Baywatch movie?' I never thought Dan Rather would ever ask that."

So will The Hoff be running through the waves with Dwayne Johnson and Zac Efron? He couldn't tell you. He hasn't heard from producer Ivan Reitman.

"I am not sure. I called Reitman about a year ago, when there were different stars in it...He said, 'If it goes, we're definitely going to put you in it.' And I said, 'Send me a script.' So far I haven't heard a word."

Mr. Reitman, for the sake of this Baywatch, we suggest you make this situ right pronto. The Hoff is Baywatch royalty, the king even. He's rested, ready, and looking might fine. He might even be able to bring his own red bathing shorts to save money on wardrobe. Fix this.

But The Hoff was not overly optimistic about the project.

"I really can't imagine it being really good. But I really hope it is."

We suspect those sentiments will change if he appears onscreen.
