Plus Size Modeling Advice from Hayley Hasselhoff

The first thing many people notice about 21-year old plus size model Hayley Hasselhoff is her last name. Yes, she is the daughter of ever-famous David Hasselhoff; who starred in series and films like Baywatch and Knight Rider. It is this very same thing that makes Hayley stand out among her peers; knowing that her life involved the spotlight.

Growing up, the young Hayley did not feel like she had something to offer in the industry; aside from her obvious last name. Especially in an industry where plus sized girls weren’t too common, there was always something to be careful about. Thankfully, it’s the support and love that David showered over his two girls that made them think otherwise about their chosen career paths. As a matter of fact, Hayley sought the reaction of her dad back in 2007 (when she was just 15) on her modeling pictures. Her father’s reaction: “That she has got it. You know you either have it or you don’t have it.”

But just like every woman on the face of the planet, there are days when Hayley doesn’t feel comfortable about her body. “Everyone has fat days,” she confesses, “but you need those bad days to appreciate the good ones. I still walk around in my underwear and appreciate it.” Yet despite those days, the young model is hopeful her next project will involve a lingerie line.
