Las Vegas - David Hasselhoff has started dressing in drag.
The former Baywatch actor is starring as cross-dressing director Roger DeBris in the Las Vegas production of hit Broadway musical The Producers and is struggling with the costume.
Hasselhoff said: "Now I know why women can't wait to get out of heels.
"I'll only wear the two inch pumps, if I wore the three inch I'd fall over like a giraffe."
The actor also has to wear a 15kg beaded-gown for the part, along with a red wig.
He added: "I look like Dennis Rodman on acid."
Hasselhoff, 54, admits he was initially unsure about accepting the cross-dressing role.
After deciding to play a transvestite, the actor realised most of his roles have been strange.
'I've got to market The Hoff'
He said: "I never thought I'd be talking to a car in Knight Rider or achieve syndication history with a crazy show like Baywatch."
Hasselhoff has decorated his dressing room backstage with life-size cut-outs and posters of himself in Baywatch and Knight Rider.
He said: "I must be the most self-indulgent person to have this stuff. But I've got to market The Hoff."
