David Hasselhoff insists his divorce has signaled a return to his healthy lifestyle, because living with ex-wife Pamela Bach drove him to drink.


The former Baywatch star was granted a divorce from the 42-year-old actress/singer on Wednesday, and he now plans to return to the fitness regime which made him an international sex symbol in the 1980s and 1990s.



The 54-year-old says,

"I was physically abusing myself. I was trying to drink away the pain and that didn't work. So now I am sober and feeling great, and I am taking care of myself, you know, and working it out. The alcohol thing is over.

"The marriage was the cause of it. People were telling me a long time ago that I had to get out. In the end, you have to save yourself. I can't save everyone in the world. You have to take care of yourself and pray a lot."

British newspaper The Sun yesterday reported that Hasselhoff was refused entry to a British Airways flight in London because he was drunk. Hasselhoff has hit back, claiming he was ill.

Publicist denies tabloid's report that he was denied boarding in London


LONDON - A spokesperson for David Hasselhoff denied a report Thursday that the former “Baywatch” and “Knight Rider” star had been turned away from a British Airways flight because he was drunk.


Judy Katz, the actor’s publicist, called the story by the tabloid Sun “totally untrue.”
Katz said Hasselhoff had not been drinking, but felt unwell after taking some medication for a recent arm injury and wasn’t able to get on a flight Wednesday from Heathrow Airport to Los Angeles.


The Sun reported the actor had been told he could not board the flight because he was drunk. Witnesses told the newspaper Hasselhoff appeared to have trouble standing and told staff he was upset about his divorce from Pamela Bach. The divorce was finalized Wednesday in a Los Angeles court.

Hasselhoff, 54, was allowed to get on a later flight, the newspaper said.
The airline said only that a male passenger had been refused boarding after he was deemed unfit to travel.

“They gave him some strong antibiotics and he got sick at the airport,” Katz said. “He couldn’t get on the plane. It was his choice. He got on the later flight.”

Last month, the actor sliced four tendons and an artery in a shaving accident at his London hotel.


Earlier this month, there were press reports that an intoxicated Hasselhoff had to be removed from the All England Club, which presents the Wimbledon tennis championships. He denied the claim.


Hasselhoff filed for divorce from Bach on Jan. 12 after 16 years of marriage, citing irreconcilable differences. Bach, 42, filed her own divorce papers, also citing irreconcilable differences.
