He is now known as David Hoff:

Call him the artist formerly known as David Hasselhoff.

The 63-year-old actor took to Twitter Thursday to announce that he has officially changed his name to David Hoff.

“I’ve been wanting to drop the hassle from my life for years,” quipped the newly minted David Hoff in a YouTube video announcing the change. “Now it’s official.”

You know, it's worth it just for that.

I hoff to give it to him, the hassel of having lived with that as da vidette of several shows and having people still mispronounce it must be tiring

 

[Orbis Tabula]

Zero points for repeating the joke that was in the article.

 

[Netherscourge]

So he's the HOFF, without the HASSLE!

Nobody wants a Hassle anyway.

 

[Bronx-Man]

David Hoff sounds weird. I'd just go with Dave. Dave Hoff.

 

[Zaptruder]

You kidding? That'll be his standard quip to anyone calling him Hasslehoff now.

[Joey Fox]

What do the Germans think about this?

 

[23qwerty]

But not really

Though a legal name change to just Hoff would've been amazing, his rep explains to Us Weekly that the international superstar is not really altering his name.
"It's an excerpt from an ad campaign that launches in Australia this weekend. David is just having some fun and more will be revealed in the next 24 hours," the rep tells Us.

Reads like an onion article. Like he made that whole change just to setup that joke.

But not really

That makes more sense.
