Former 'Baywatch' star David Hasselhoff has confirmed that he asked to be videotaped while drunk in order to see what he was like under the influence of alcohol.
The actor confirmed that a tape had been recorded after footage of him intoxicated was released on the Internet.
The video reportedly shows Hasselhoff sitting shirtless on the floor of a Las Vegas hotel room.
Hasselhoff told People magazine in a statement: "I am a recovering alcoholic. Despite [the fact] that I have been going through a painful divorce and I have recently been separated from my children due to my work, I have been successfully dealing with my issue."
"Unfortunately, one evening I did have a brief relapse, but part of recovery is relapse," he said.
"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 actor said.
"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."
