LONDON - Former "Baywatch" star David Hasselhoff had surgery after severing a tendon in his right arm in an accident in a London gym bathroom, his spokeswoman said Friday.
The 53-year-old actor, who played lifeguard Mitch Buchannon on the TV beach drama for 11 years, was shaving at a gym in the Sanderson Hotel on Thursday when he hit his head on a chandelier, showering his arm with broken glass, his publicist, Judy Katz, said.
Doctors operated to repair the injury and Hasselhoff spent one night at St. Thomas' Hospital in central London, Katz said.
"He's fine," Katz said by phone from New York. "He's out of the hospital and will resume filming tomorrow."
Hasselhoff is working on an ad campaign for Pipex, a British internet company, she said.

You´re e v i l !! :-P
It´s true, he had his biggest success in Germany and the US, Knight Rider and Baywatch were extremely popular. Many elementary school kids were his fans. And maybe there are still lots of misguided who admire him. But 99% of Germans don´t care about him. On a further note I´d like to add that he did a lot to create a positive image of the US in Germany during the late 80´s/early 90´s.

You can't make this stuff up. Chandaliers will kill you if you're not careful.
