Who shot the home video of David Hasselhoff drunk eating a cheeseburger?
Answer
His Daughter
His daughter shot the home video of David Hasselhoff drunk eating a cheeseburger. The footage was recorded by his 16-year-old daughter, Taylor-Ann, at his Las Vegas home around early 2007.
The video showed Hasselhoff lying on the floor, visibly intoxicated, and struggling to eat a hamburger while Taylor-Ann spoke to him about his drinking. Reports said she filmed him partly to show him how he behaved when drunk and how his alcohol use affected his family.
The clip became widely known after surfacing online in May 2007, while Hasselhoff was appearing in the Las Vegas stage production of The Producers. Hasselhoff acknowledged the incident and said he was working on his recovery from alcoholism.
A common mix-up is identifying the person who uploaded or publicized the video rather than the person who filmed it. The canonical answer is his daughter—specifically Taylor-Ann Hasselhoff—not a television crew, paparazzo, or Hasselhoff himself.
