The London Sun reports Baywatch star David Hasselhoff was barred from Wimbledon because he was "steaming drunk.†He reportedly threw down with security staff, who would not let him in because he didn't have a ticket. According to the Sun, Hasselhoff, 53, who had his arm in a brace, yelled: "You should let me in. Do you know who I am? I'm the Hoff!" As the story goes, Hasselhoff was eventually let in after actor pal Michael Brandon bought him a Centre Court ticket to watch champ Roger Federer.
As fun as it is to imagine The Hoff pulling the “Do you know who I am?â€, the story is exaggerated, his publicist Judy Katz tells Us. "David Hasselhoff enjoyed a day's tennis with friends at Wimbledon yesterday. During the afternoon there was some confusion over accreditation as his party attempted to reach court 13. The situation was quickly resolved with the help of stewards. Reports that claim they were ejected were incorrect.â€
Between the Wimbledon “confusion†and the indignities suffered from being assaulted by a chandelier, jolly ol' London has not been good to The Hoff. Yet, thankfully, as evidenced by the photo above, the man perm remains intact.
