3. David Hasselhoff – From Baywatch to Lean Pockets
David Hasselhoff started his career as an actor in roles that have become iconic. From Knight Rider to Baywatch, Hasselhoff was a major heartthrob throughout the ‘80s and ‘90s. He also dabbled in the music industry and became quite successful in the European scene. Yet, as he aged, he began losing legitimacy as an actor and definitely began losing the charisma he once mastered in the eyes of fans.
Perhaps it was the fact that he never seemed to alter his personal style in dress or perhaps it was the damaging video of himself stuffing his face on the Internet, but whatever the case, Hasselhoff needed something to try and boost him back into A-list status.
It’s difficult to say whether or not his Lean Pockets endorsement was an effort to get back into the limelight or it was just for a paycheck. However, Hoff Pockets didn’t ever take off and his Mr. Lean portrayal was comical at best.
