Hasselhoff Checks Into Rehab Center

Published January 13, 2015

David Hasselhoff has checked himself into The Betty Ford Center for treatment of alcoholism.

The former Baywatch star, who turns 50 next week, issued a release Monday announcing the voluntary stay at the hospital.

``He realized his social drinking had increased more than he was comfortable with and he decided to do something about it,'' publicist Richard Hoffman said in a statement.

The actor checked in June 26; his representatives said they didn't know how long he would be there.

Hasselhoff's recent roles included a cameo appearance as himself in the summer comedy The New Guy and he performed on Broadway last year in the musical Jekyll & Hyde.
