David Hasselhoff has changed his name to David Hoff.
The former 'Baywatch' actor - who is nicknamed The Hoff - claims he has wanted to make the change for years and has overjoyed to have undergone the change.
Announcing his new moniker in a YouTube video, he said: "I've been wanting to drop the Hassel from my life for years. Now I have made it official."
And the 63-year-old star - who showed off framed documents bearing his new surname - is feeling "great" thanks to his shortened name.
He tweeted: "Big news today and a massive relief for me. I hope everyone can understand... it feels great!"
David recently admitted he is worried the forthcoming 'Baywatch' movie will be a "joke" and would only agree to appear in the much-discussed movie alongside Zac Efron if it were to remain true to the original storyline.
Asked if he's been offered a role in the movie, David said: "I don't really know [if I'm in it]. I don't really know if I want to be in it."
David also said he'd previously been offered the chance to appear in a movie version of another of his TV shows, 'Knight Rider', but was unimpressed with the script.
He added: "You know, I saw a 'Knight Rider' script and I hated it. The girl said, 'What did you think?' And I said, 'When it got to my part the script flew out of my hand.' I never saw it again.
"You know, if 'Knight Rider' is true to 'Knight Rider', I would do it. If 'Baywatch' is going to be a joke, I don't think so.
"I might do 'Baywatch' the musical or something like that. Make it something as close to what it was. They laughed at it but they still loved it. I don't want it to be a joke."
Thank heaven his first name isn't Fred, be one hell of a signature !![]()

Actor Warren Mitchell, famous for his television role as Alf Garnett in the series Till Death Us Do Part, has died.
Mitchell's agent confirmed the 89-year-old's death.
A statement from the actor's family said: "Sadly we can confirm Warren Mitchell died in the early hours of Saturday, November 14, surrounded by his family."
In contrast to his screen role as a racist, homophobic, chauvinistic and sexist character, Mitchell was in reality a socialist.
Nevertheless, he was still being stopped in the street 40 years on by fans who thought he really was like his character.
He once admitted some similarities to Garnett, saying: "Opinionated male chauvinistic pig at times, I suppose. As my wife Connie once said to me, 'You are like that awful Alf Garnett, only he's funny and you're not'."
Reacting to news of his death, comedian Ricky Gervais tweeted: "Alf Garnett was one of the most influential and important characters and performances in comedy history. RIP Warren Mitchell."
RIP Warren
