Seth MacFarlane is currently busy directing his third feature effort, the comedy sequel Ted 2, and he’s taken to Twitter today to reveal that David Hasselhoff will appear in the film, with the Hoff subsequently offering up a few words on his mystery role…

“It’s a pretty funny bit that we’re doing in the movie, and [Seth] is a lovely guy,” Hasselhoff tells Digital Spy. “I can’t really talk about the gag, but it’s very irreverent and very funny. He tore me up on the Comedy Central roast, and I get a chance to get back at him! He’s a good guy, we don’t meet too many people in showbiz where they say, ‘Hey buddy, I’ll call you back, I’ve got something for you’, and then you actually hear from them again. This guy’s a stand-up guy.”

Ted 2 will see MacFarlane retuning as the voice of the titular bear alongside Mark Wahlberg as John Bennett, while A Million Ways to Die in the West stars Amanda Seyfried and Liam Neeson will feature, in addition to Morgan Freeman (Now You See Me), Patrick Warburton (Family Guy), Dennis Haysbert (Sin City: A Dame to Kill For) and Michael Dorn (Star Trek: The Next Generation). Also set to return for a cameo is Flash Gordon himself, Sam Jones.
