Hasselhoff Deemed Unfit to Fly

The same day his divorce became final from Pamela Bach, David Hasselhoff was banned from boarding a British Airways flight after showing up to the gate intoxicated, according to The Sun newspaper.

After reportedly downing bottles of beer and shots of whiskey at a first class lounge at Heathrow, British Airways staff told Hasselhoff he was unfit to board the plane, which The Hoff agreed with.

The Sun also says Hasselhoff told the airline staff he was upset about his messy divorce from his wife after 16 years.

A British Airways spokesperson tells TMZ: "A male passenger was denied boarding flight BA279 as he was deemed to be unfit for travel. He was reassessed by British Airways staff and he was accepted for travel on flight BA283, which left two hours later."

what the heck? i'm still laughing.

i agree with whoever said who cares. they turn anyone away who's had a few and i think that the lack of star treatment and his response is brilliant.

32. Leave the man alone...He hurt no one but himself and was man enough to accept the consequence"s. Hope he gets further help and continues ahead to a better life.

33. "It's bull that a prescription antibiotic would cause someone to act drunk." -- Julie (#27)

If he is on antidepressants it isn't bull. I can excuse the antidepressants in his situation: either he loves his ex-wife dearly (broken heart) or is sad that he has to shell out alot of his paycheck supporting a conniving ***** (Would you want to work to support me for the rest of your life? *hears silence* Thought not.). Either way, I'd be more than a little depressed.

I can excuse the white lie since the whole affair really isn't anybody's business except his and those he chooses to tell. The prevailing opinion is that "it is never ok to lie." then? If you walked up to me and asked a question that was quite frankly none of your business, I'd lie too -- honesty is never desirable when it is at the expense of good sense.
Seems to me your belief contradicts itself -- if it is never ok to lie, then how can you justify lying to yourselves? This automatically makes you all delusional by the way... just thought you should know.

Hasslehoff gets bonus points for behaving in a mature, dignified manner the whole time (did he whine / get violent / start ranting when the airline sind he couldn't board? *looks up at article* Nope.) -- especially depressed and under the effects of a drug interaction that makes the existing problem worse by quite a large multiplier -- and likely drunk on enough alcohol to kill a small child.

36. Davids (ex) wife is not a "bitch" at all. I was with a girlfriend when she called her from the hospital suffering from that motorcycle wreck that they both were in. It was VERY serious, and I heard the pain FIRST hand. She is a very caring person . Maybe things didnt work out between them and David is a bit upset about that. The best thing he could do right now is focus on sober friends and hang around people who are a good influence. David, a NA meeting might be in order also. You know what Im saying.

38. If the Hoff was too drunk to BOARD the plane, they could have slapped velcro on the wing and stuck his chest hair to it!
I agree...Don't hassle the Hoff, Kit.

39. Great for the people that don't drink and can anything life can dish.
I know alot of people that normally do not drink accept when they go to the airport, They are not out driving. True he was too drunk so the proper thing was done,
For all THE PEOPLE who think Divorce is not an excuse to have some drinks-I lived thru it and Divorece is a sick and terrible thing. He handle himself respectivly. And I am not even a fan!

40. so, why could he not wait until he got to his destiation to get drunk? I have been divorced twice and only took a drink at HOME after second divorce. He is no better than any other person. We cannot get on a plane drunk so why should he?

41. To all of the people that don't drink - good for you.
I do know people who basically don't drink except when they fly. Because,They don't have to drive. ( Thats why there is a BAR in the airport.)
I have been there, Good or Bad DIVORCE is always UGLY!
Maybe it was an excuse. A good exsuse. It has been 10 years and my Divorce still hurts. It really hurts when it is finalized.
He had too many drinks or shots. He followed the Airport rules. At least he wasn't a cry baby. so all in all. It happens. People- lots of people drink or get drunk at the Airport. I don't think it makes him a lower Human being. And, I am not even a fan! Don't throw stones......

42. a drunk is a drunk and they will lie, and lie to try to excuse their drunken behavior. He is no different just because he is rich and famous. The rest of us would never get away with what this guy has done.
