BAYWATCH star David Hasselhoff was yesterday barred from a plane — for being DRUNK.He had turned up at the British Airways first-class lounge in Heathrow at about 
7am reeking of booze.Passengers saw him PICK UP a shop manageress, STAGGER around and MUMBLE to people. Staff told the 54-year-old actor — nicknamed The Hoff — he was unfit to board the Los Angeles flight and he agreed. Alcoholic Hasselhoff was allowed on a plane two hours later but had to be carried there in a BUGGY meant for the elderly or infirm. It comes three weeks after Hasselhoff was accused of being “steaming drunk” at Wimbledon, which he denies. Earlier this week Hasselhoff — who played Baywatch lifeguard Mitch Buchannon — told a US magazine he had beaten the booze. But he had downed bottled beer and whisky chasers as he prepared to catch his 10.05am flight. BA staff in the lounge said Hasselhoff had told them he was upset over his divorce from wife Pamela after 16 years. A witness at a duty free shop said: “He seemed merry. He’s a huge fella and the manageress is tiny. He picked her up then put her down.”Another said: “He wasn’t aggressive, he just had problems standing. He was clearly drunk.“A passenger asked if he was David Hasselhoff and he said ‘Not at all, you must be mistaken’.“The manager said, ‘I don’t think you’re fit to fly, sir.’ He told her, ‘I think you are right’.Hasselhoff wandered aimlessly around the lounge, propping himself up on a pillar. One staff member said she could not understand his slurring.Hasselhoff was told he could board a later flight but there may be Press photographers.He said: “Why? I’m not a bad man. Kill them.”Asked how he was as he climbed into the buggy, he said: “Good, mate. How are you?“Why didn’t I go on the earlier flight? I have no idea.”The 747 captain and the crew were asked if they were happy to take him and said only if he had no more to drink.A BA spokesman confirmed the incident and said: “A male passenger was unfit to travel.”

Wonder if he will claim racism like Mo’Nique? And also is it just me or does he look like he peed in his jeans?
