HOLLYWOOD - Troubled actor
David Hasselhoff has recovered from the embarrassment of his leaked drunken video to see the funny side of his mistakes - wishing he'd used cutlery to eat the burger.
Video footage shot by Hasselhoff's 15-year-old daughter Taylor was leaked to the press earlier this month, showing the former Baywatch star hurling expletives at his teenage offspring and attempting to eat a burger from the floor during a drunken rage.
And despite the media furor regarding the leaked footage, Hasselhoff only has one regret. Piers Morgan, the actor's fellow judge on TV show America's Got Talent, claims he said, "I just wish I'd used a knife and fork to eat that f**king burger."
The British journalist, who describes himself as a "good friend" of Hasselhoff, also alleges the 54-year-old is highly insecure about his fading looks.
Morgan says, "I sit next to him in the makeup trailer, and he is bordering on the obsessive about his personal appearance.
"His ego is massive, there's no other word for it. Barely a day's filming goes by when he doesn't allude to Baywatch and Knight Rider being 'the biggest TV shows ever' or to the 'nine million albums I've sold in Germany'."
But Morgan insists the actor will bounce back from all the negative publicity he is currently experiencing. He adds, "The Hoff is a survivor, and this week he was already seeing the funny side of his (drunken) video."
