MUMBAI: 59-year-old David Hasselhoff has said that he won't be reprising his role as lifeguard Mitch Buchannon in the big-screen version of Baywatch but will instead appear as himself. "I've just met the guy writing the film. I'm going to play myself," he reportedly said.

The former 'America's Got Talent' judge is the only cast member certain to star in film but it is rumoured that Justin Timberlake and Justin Bieber may be the others who would also appear in the film.

Hasselhoff, who was one of the star performers at the White Nights of St. Petersburg festival last weekend, added, "There will be certain people in the movie for the original parts and we're trying to make it a very cool, updated version."

The White Nights of St. Petersburg festival took place in St. Petersburg, Russia from July 6 to July 8 and as well as star performers such as David, Anastacia, Natalie.

Pamela Anderson, who played long-running character CJ Lewis in the 90s series, is yet to be confirmed, although the production people hope that she will sign up.
