— -- Just when you thought David Hasselhoff couldn't shock us any more, he surprises us again -- this time with his new obsession with Facebook Live.

He is literally taking his fans everywhere, giving them a sneak peek into his everyday life and getting tens of thousands of views in the process.

“It gives a personal level to the people who know you from television,” The Hoff explained in a Skype interview on “Good Morning America” today. “I get mail from people who are live from Taiwan saying, ‘Hi, I’m checking in from Taiwan.’ They saw me on television as the Knight Rider in Taiwan and suddenly they’re in my living room with my dogs.”

Hasselhoff joked on "GMA" that this was “the earliest Facebook Live” he’s ever done, appearing from Los Angeles alongside his pet bird.

“It’s so fun because it just gives a human element to the people. And you can connect with people all over the world,” he added.
