David Hasselhoff

David Hasselhoff - from Baywatch to Hook

David Hasselhoff is to play Captain Hook in Peter Pan at New Wimbledon Theatre this Christmas.

Produced by First Family Entertainment, the panto will also star Bobby Davro as Smee and BBC children's TV presenter Sarah-Jane Honeywell as Peter Pan and will run from 7th December and will run to 14th January.

Hasselhoff (53) is reported to be receiving £300,000 for his appearance but First Family have refused to comment other than to say that the figure is "inaccurate". However a source close to Hasselhoff told the Sun, "Panto is a really good earner and the money on offer was too good for David to miss."

"He is a father himself," said First Family's Lisa Denning, "and likes the idea of being involved in a truly family show. He also looking forward to playing the role of Captain Hook."

This will not be his first London stage appearance: in 2004 he played Billy Flynn in Chicago in the West End.
