Hasselhoff: Drunken video was ‘wake-up call’ Actor says after daughter taped him sloshed, he decided to face his problem David Hasselhoff told TODAY’s Ann Curry the infamous video of him on the kitchen floor of his Las Vegas home, eating a hamburger and hurling drunken epithets at his daughter was a “private matter” that should never have become public. But it was also a wake-up call and the message was simple and blunt: “Get help.” “For me it was actually a good sign because it was a wake-up call and it brought everything to a head,” he said.
“Finally, I just said, ‘Look, this has all got to stop.’” Hasselhoff’s battles with alcohol go back at least to 2002, when he first entered rehab. He had a DWI in 2004, and the British press reported last year that he was too drunk to board a British Airways flight, a charge he denied.
