One is a legend of 90s American TV, the other is a veteran midfielder at Manchester City.
It sounds like some bizarre fictional friendship, but David Hasselhoff and Yaya Toure are in fact real-life pals.
They apparently met while Baywatch legend The Hoff was appearing in panto in Manchester several years ago.
But here’s proof their friendship still burns bright – Hasselhoff posted a picture of himself wearing Toure’s famous No.42 shirt after City’s 2-0 win against Everton.

He’s obviously still a huge City fan.
He didn’t even tag the 32-year-old Ivorian in the tweet, but the two are such good pals that Toure hit him back with an equally complimentary message…
Awwwww…
Nice shirt Mr Knight Rider!!! 👍🏾 https://t.co/eJaiCFzF1a
