He said: "I embrace Baywatch, I embrace Knight Rider - especially Knight Rider now we are in talks about maybe bringing it back as a series.
"Which is unbelievable.
"And it's cool because all the people that have seen all the other re-boots of Knight Rider and didn't like it are saying 'let it be true to what it was' - so let me be the old guy.
"I can't run, I can't fight, I can't jump but I can still drive."
The ripped Baywatch star was then pressed for more details about the epic Knight Rider comeback, in which he would resume his role as Michael Knight with his infamous talking car Kitt.
He denied it would be in movie form and insisted: "No, we are talking about doing a full blown TV series and we are working on the rights right now.
"We are working on my relationship with James (James Gunn, director of Guardians of the Galaxy), and the fact he watched the show he he was eight years old, which is crazy.
