LONDON (AP) — David Hasselhoff was turned away from a British Airways flight because he was drunk, a British newspaper reported Thursday.
The tabloid Sun said the former "Baywatch" and "Knight Rider" star was told he could not board the flight Wednesday from Heathrow Airport to Los Angeles. Witnesses told the newspaper Hasselhoff appeared to have trouble standing and told staff he was upset about his divorce from Pamela Bach.
He 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.
The actor's publicist could not immediately be reached for comment.
Hasselhoff's divorce from Bach was finalized in a Los Angeles court Wednesday.
Hasselhoff, 54, filed for divorce Jan. 12 after 16 years of marriage, citing irreconcilable differences. Bach, 42, filed her own divorce papers, also citing irreconcilable differences.
The actor has had several brushes with the tabloid press during a recent stay in Britain.
Last month, he 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.
