A lot of people thought they saw screen legend David Hasselhoff in tears at last month's's American Idol final - the series that was named after David.


However, we have been given the exclusive rights to tell the full story.
First watch the video:

Now not a lot of people know that the great man is actually allergic to face paint. This makes it all the more remarkable that his career took off at all, let alone soared to stratospheric levels in most of the world's unpronounceable countries.
Well, its true.

We, the malignant public, never usually get to see the man's reaction as these scenes are left on the cutting room floor.


As 'Idol' was filmed live, we were exposed to what some have called 'warts and all' Hoff. well that's not the case....


There, and let that be the end of it.
Emotional, indeed. This man has been known to watch whole villages go up without batting an eyelid.
