David Hasselhoff Recently Visited Disney California Adventure Park

David Hasselhoff

If you haven’t heard, David Hasselhoff has a cameo role in the hit Marvel film Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. We learned in the movie that as a child, Peter Quill told the other kids that his father was David Hasselhoff, and he was away filming Knight Rider, which is why he was never around.

To celebrate the recent release of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 on DVD and Blu-ray, Hasselhoff made a special visit to Disney California Adventure Park last week. While at the park, David helped the Guardians escape the clutches of Tivan the collector on Guardians of the Galaxy Mission: BREAKOUT! and snapped photos with Groot.

You’ll have to watch the movie to see Hasselhoff’s brief role in the film, but you can catch him as Zardu Hasselfrau in the hilarious “Guardians Inferno” music video, by clicking HERE.
