David Hasselhoff’s Daughter Hayley Poses Nude As The First 'Curve' Model For European 'Playboy' — See The Blonde Bombshell’s NSFW Cover Shoot
Baywatch legend David Hasselhoff’s daughter, Hayley, is Playboy Germany’s newest muse for their latest issue — making history in the process.
The 28-year-old bombshell posted the risqué cover — wearing nothing but a red silk robe — on Instagram Wednesday, writing that she is the first “curve model on a European cover of PLAYBOY.”
The famous daughter continued: “I am overcome with emotion around what this cover signifies for inclusivity and its greater purpose towards female empowerment. I wanted to use this platform to express that you have the power to love your body without hesitation because of societies’ standards of beauty.”
Hayley, who recently launched the mental health awareness initiative "Check in With You” spoke openly about her issues with her body image and how she’s learned to accept them.
"My relationship with my body has always stemmed from my relationship with my mental wellbeing. With May being Mental Health Awareness month, I feel empowered to be able to wake up and know that I get to live unapologetically myself," she said. "I hope to inspire women to face their fears of the unknown and to lead a life of purpose in which your body does not define you."
The blonde bombshell also gave a few words of encouragement to a young Hayley who was struggling with self-acceptance as a child.

“If there is one thing I would tell my younger self it would be that you are worthy just as you are," she said. "Now, more than ever, we should be grounded in the exploration of self and feel encouraged to celebrate ourselves in ways that feel most authentic,” she said. “I can only hope this cover will allow women to know that they are loved, valued and desired just as they are - right here, right now.”
Hayley is the daughter of actor David Hasselhoff and ex-wife Pamela Bach. Her famous father is somewhat of a pop-culture icon in Germany — which is no surprise as to why the country chose his daughter to make history with the Playboy cover.
Germany’s love affair with David began in 1989 when he serenaded revelers (yes, David is a pop singer, mind-blowing) over the crumbling Berlin Wall. After the fall of the wall, the country's first privately owned TV network, RTL, began broadcasting American programs, including David’s iconic series, Knight Rider, according to THR.
Capitalizing on his newfound German fame, at the end of the cold war, David reconfigured a hit German song from the 1970s, titled, “On the Road to the South,” and called it “Looking for Freedom” — which hit No. 1 on the charts and solidifying David as an icon in the country.
David went on to perform the song on The Sylvester Show — the German equivalent of Dick Clark’s New Year's Rockin’ Eve — in 1989, it was an inspirational moment for the country, with an estimated crowd of 1 million people showing up to catch a glimpse of the Hollywood heartthrob.
