In a video posted on Facebook by Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, David Hasselhoff confirmed that he will be joining Johnson on the cast of the new "Baywatch" movie.

In the short video in which Johnson is on a FaceTime call with Hasselhoff, Hasselhoff announces he "was born ready" for his return to "Baywatch", with Johnson declaring, "There ain't no Bay, without The Hoff".

Hasselhoff starred as the L.A. County Lifeguard Mitch Buchannon in the original TV series, and will also join previously confirmed cast members Zac Efron, Priyanka Chopra and Alexandra Daddario.

The new movie is due to be released May 19, 2017.

"I WAS BORN READY!" Pleasure to officially welcome the original #BAYWATCH gangsta himself David Hasselhoff to our movie! #BAYWATCH is the most successful TV show of all time and from the day we announced we were turning it into a movie, "The Hoff" has been our greatest supporter. Especially once he knew our RATED R movie was going to be a combination of AVENGERS meets ANCHORMAN....Hoff's a cool dude who's down to have fun and here's the best part.. He's been training his ass off and gotten in the best shape he's been in in years! (cue slo-mo running and glistening chest hair.. wait, why the f*ck am I even thinking about Hoff's chest hair!?) World get ready.. #RockAndHoff #ThereAintNoBay #WithoutTheHoff
