David Hasselhoff: World's Best Dad?

Find out why daughter of former America's Got Talent judge raves about her father, telling us he's everything the press says he isn't

Just because David Hasselhoff has had some major family problems—a very messy divorce from Pamela Bach, his battle with the booze, etc.—that doesn't mean he's not a good father.

So says the Hoff's 17-year-old daughter, Hayley...

"He's the best dad in the world!" Hayley told us at last night's opening of the Pee-wee Herman Show at L.A. Live. "It comes off like he isn't, and that's what hurts the most. He is there for me 24/7."

Hayley and her sister, Taylor, 19, will join the 57-year-old former America's Got Talent judge on an A&E reality show set to air later this year.

"We will get to tell our stories ourselves," the actor chimed in last night. "This is our way to say, 'Really, is it that bad? I mean look at us. We're doing really well.'

"Yeah, we have problems," he continued. "We all have problems. You know what? There are 20 million people out there in the same boat as me. All you've got to do is take it one day at a time and trust in God."
