In the 1980s, the popularity of Hulk Hogan rivaled those of many stars in pop culture. With WWE, Hogan was selling out arenas, merchandise, and pay-per-views like hotcakes. They also made his crossover appeal worthy of such celebrity status.

Being as popular as a rock star also meant it would’ve been difficult for the Hulkster to find time for his family without having the cameras follow him everywhere. However, his daughter, Brooke Hogan, revealed how his father was able to spend time with his family despite being immensely popular.

Brooke Hogan herself is no stranger to fame, having been part of many reality TV shows. With celebrity fame also comes the constant badgering by the media, which the stars have to endure.

Her father, Hulk Hogan, was used to this sort of attention during his heydays but still found a lot of time for his family. Brooke Hogan talked about how his father did that and also had a little piece of advice for pop singing icon Britney Spears.

Brooke revealed how it was like growing up with Hulk Hogan

In many ways, Hulk Hogan was wrestling’s first superstar who achieved worldwide fame. At the time when pop culture was beginning to take off, Hulkamania found its wings and soared. He was a constant presence in media, TV shows and all other shenanigans that come with having a star status.

Brooke Hogan, who also had a career in music, once described how it was like growing up with such a famous father. She said he did a really good job and didn’t let his fame affect his time with the family. Brooke also attributed this to the place she grew up in and had also had advice for Britney Spears.

Speaking on the Hollywood Raw podcast last year, she said, “You know what’s crazy? He did a really good job. Not letting us feel like.. It wasn’t the reality that we had that oh my god we had a famous dad.”

She then gave a suggestion to Britney Spears, who is the constant center of attention from the paparazzi. Brooke continued, “Living in Clearwater, Florida helped, I will say. I look at all this Britney Spears stuff and she’s like ‘oh my god, I can’t leave my house, I can’t do this’. I am like you need to move to Clearwater, girl, because there are no paparazzi there.”

Clearwater is a small beach and hence it is possible not many cameras or paparazzi come around there often. Living in such a place helped Hogan to give quality time to his children, away from the glitz and glamour. Maybe it won’t be that bad if Britney Spears takes Brooke Hogan’s advice and finds herself a nice little beach house in Clearwater.
