03rd July 2006 : David Hasselhoff severs tendon, has surgery in London

David Hasselhoff had surgery after severing a tendon in his right arm in an accident in a London gym bathroom, his spokeswoman said.

The 53-year-old actor, who played lifeguard Mitch Buchannon on the TV beach drama "Baywatch" 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 yesterday.

Hasselhoff had surgery and spent a night at St. Thomas' Hospital in central London, Katz said.

"He's fine," Katz said by phone from New York. "He'll resume filming tomorrow."

Hasselhoff is working on an ad campaign for Pipex, a British Internet company, she said.

In an attempt to avoid attention from his adoring public while he recuperates in St. Thomas' Hospital, London, David has again been forced to employ some of his 'Stunt Hoffs' or 'Hoffelgangers' as they're also known.
