Click on “The Hoff” for a larger version. The music is here.
I had a shoot in Malibu last week with Andrea, the girl on the left.
As we were working on the beach, this guy walks behind me, pauses and keeps walking for about 30 feet, I’m oblivious. I finish the setup and walk to Andrea. She says to me “that’s David Hasselhoff, you think you can get a picture of him with me” to which I reply “yeah, ok” The guy is now walking back towards us. Andrea waves and he comes right over.
So the Hoffmeister points to my camera and says “From up the beach I thought you were a fucking paparazzi, so I thought I’d have to come here to chase you away but then I saw her”. I nod. He continues “So you’re not a paparazzi?” to which I reply “nope, not me”.
He says, “good, that’s good because there was a fucking wanker paparazzi outside my window this morning while I was having cereal with my dog”. I nod and try not to laugh.
In one spectacularly fast and smooth motion he slides towards Andrea and says “you want a picture?” Andrea says “that would be great” he says “cool”.
After some small talk, he was gone, as quickly as he came…
I try not to laugh…
Welcome to L.A.

This cracks me up. The way you tell the story is hysterical.
Having taken this photo, are you now a paparazzi?
I think he just wanted to be close to Andrea.
Enjoyed the music, as always.
Man has he aged, or does standing next to her make him look that way
I still think you should have pissed him off
Only in L.A.
Hail to The Hoff.
You should have followed him, Ron. Gone all paparazzi on his ass.
Glad you enjoyed it guys…
