LIFE STYLE EXTRA (UK) - David Hasselhoff was banned from a plane for being too drunk.The 'Baywatch' star, nicknamed The Hoff, turned up intoxicated to London's H eathrow airport at 7am yesterday (26.07.06), and then continued to knock back drinks in British Airways' first class lounge as he waited to board his 9.55am flight to Los Angeles. The troubled actor - who recently claimed he had beaten his alcohol problems - ranted to airline staff and VIP passengers about his divorce and moaned, "My life is a mess."
An onlooker said: "He was drinking alone and staring into space, He started ranting incoherently. It was clear he was talking about his wife and the messy divorce. Her was sobbing and nodding his head."
During his drunken stupor the star stumbled into a duty free shop and lifted up the manageress.
Another witness revealed: "The manager said, 'I don't think you're fit to fly, sir.' He told her. 'I think you are right.'"
Onlookers were even more horrified when a dark wet patch appeared around the actor's groin area.
BA staff decided Hasselhoff was unfit to travel and asked him to sleep it off and wait for another flight.
He was finally allowed to board a flight two hours later, but was taken there in a buggy - usually reserved for elderly passengers.
A BA spokesman confirmed: "A male passenger was denied boarding on the BA279 Heathrow to Los Angeles service because he was deemed unfit to travel. He was assessed later and passed fit to fly on BA283.
:sigh:
I really need to look up from the books occasionally.
At least he didn't re-enact the "barf scene" from "Team America: World Police".
Incidentally, after I poured myself from the flight in Copenhagen, I discovered my next flight was delayed. The bars were closed (it was still morning), so I spent the next few hours drinking warm vodka with some Lithuanian deckhands flying back from S. Africa. By the time I got to my final destination, I had been up for more than 28 hours and was a complete mess. What a great trip it was.
Kit is cowering in the corner of the parking lot.
What happened to his marriage?Is there infidelity??On whose part???I don't know him but I know he's hurting!
Look at him! There HAD to be infidelity involved.
At least he didn't sing.
;)
I don't remember the terminal, as I was too busy trying to make my connection, and 9 years later that is still the worst experience I've ever had in an airport, and I've done a few rounds in DFW. But you're right, asking a cop to shoot me would have been a lot less painful. ;^)
You have the right word...
I wish someone would tell David Caruso!
If it's on his part,then I side with his wife!
Back in those days, everybody thought it was hoot, except for the flight attendant, who just sort of rolled her eyes.
Something is wrong with this story because somebody that drunk does not sober up in two hours.
And at least The Hoff will be sober in the morning.
Oops, then again, maybe not.
oh my word! That's the funnniest thing I've seen in a long time.
Poor 'Hoff....he sings like he acts......
rather badly......
Also, that was back in the days when you walked up steps to a plane!
What the heck is that thing on his privates? A dog? Maybe he could say the dog peed in his pants?
