David Hasselhoff, aka ‘The Hoff’, asked to be videotaped while intoxicated so he could see what he’s like when he’s drunk.

The show obtained footage of Hasselhoff, 54, sitting shirtless on the floor of a Las Vegas hotel room (see below). Off-camera, Extra says, a family member pleads with him to stop drinking and says:

“The doctor is coming over here in the morning to check your alcohol level. If you have any alcohol in your system, you are going to be fired from [The Producers].”

Hasselhoff’s lawyers said he requested that the video be taken. Pamela Anderson’s former Baywatch co-star tells People in a statement that he needed to see himself at his worst:

“I am a recovering alcoholic.”

“Despite [the fact] that I have been going through a painful divorce and have recently been separated from my children due to my work, I have been successfully dealing with my issues. Unfortunately, one evening I did have a brief relapse, but part of recovery is relapse.”

“Because of my honest and positive relationship with my daughters, who were concerned for my well being, there was a tape made that night to show me what I was like. I have seen the tape. I have learned from it and I am back on my game. I thank God for the love and concern from my daughters. The tape was never meant to become public, but appears to have been obtained and released by my ex-wife. I hope that someone else will learn from the tape, as I have.”
