While walking the red carpet he said that though the makers have turned the drama into a film but they will not be able recreate his character. "It's funny, it's pushing the envelope, but it's not 'Baywatch' - and I said that with a great amount of respect but a great amount of work that I put into 'Baywatch'," said the 64-year-old actor. He added, "I saw the movie and I said, 'This is gonna make a lot of money - but it's still not 'Baywatch'. You can't recreate David Hasselhoff."
