Actor David Hasselhoff of Baywatch and Knight Rider fame, admits to an alcohol addiction that began in the early 1970s. While struggling to find work, Hasselhoff reveals he found comfort in beer, scotch, and tequila. Hasselhoff fled a rehab center in 2002 wearing only sweatpants, a tank top, and tennis shoes. In 2007, his addictions once again made headlines after his teenage daughter filmed him during a drunken episode.
