Nobody scrutinised Humphrey Bogart: Hasselhoff says of his alcohol addiction
April 24th, 2010 - 6:09 pm ICT by ANILondon, April 24 (ANI): David Hasselhoff is so tired of the attention being paid to his alcohol related problems that he said in the olden days getting drunk used to be “normal” in Hollywood.
Hasselhoff, 57, has endured a public battle with booze for years and has been taken to hospital on several occasions, including for alcohol poisoning in October 2007.
But he is so put off by the scrutiny he is getting that he said no one ever gave screen legend Humphrey Bogart any grief.
“Back then things were different,” the Sun quoted Hasselhoff, who is currently in Germany to promote his autobiography ‘Making Waves’, as telling Bunte magazine.
“Back then every star smoked and drank. Think of Richard Burton or Humphrey Bogart.
“But nobody scrutinised them. Every kind of consumption was normal,” he added. (ANI)
