Where are they now? Baywatch Part2
Let's talk about the man who made the show possible. Baywatch was doomed. However, David believed in it. He even gave his own money to save the lifeguards in red swimsuits. Of course, Baywatch would not be what it was without Stefanie and Caroline, so today, we will talk about them too.

"Heart, humour and action! Baywatch forever," he loved to say. Hasselhoff was already a well-known name thanks to starring roles in the soap opera “The Young & the Restless” and in the series “Knight Rider”.
Today, David is a recovered alcoholic. He became a viral hit on social media in 2007 after his daughter posted a video. In the infamous video, he drunkenly eats a hamburger from the floor. He is 69 years old today. He starred in "The Keith Lemon Movie" and "Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No!". He is a frequent guest on numerous reality shows, so he was a member of the jury in four seasons of "America's Got Talent" and one season of "Britain's Got Talent".

The New Yorker started her acting career when she was only 10 months old, by starring in a children's shampoo commercial. In the series 'Baywatch', she played the rescuer Caroline Holden for four full seasons. She was Stephanie’s (played by Alexandra Paul ). She was a big fan of Chandler Bing’s character from the “Friends” series, and she was so in love with him that for a while she even dated actor Matthew Perry who embodied Chandler.
Today she has her own line of swimwear Yaz Wear, she played Inspector Caitlin Cross in the police drama “Nash Bridges” as well as in soap operas produced by Aaron Spelling. Bleeth was arrested in 2000 for possession of cocaine and driving under the influence of drugs. She later wrote an article in a magazine titled “Return from the Hell of Drugs,” acknowledging that her cocaine addiction was so serious that she would sometimes not sleep for five days at a time.
She went to rehab, where she met her future husband, strip club owner Paul Cerrito. "They say you shouldn't get into any relationship during the first year of rehab, especially not with someone who is also part of the program. But Paul and I immediately fell in love," Bleeth said on one occasion, and the couple is still together. Today he is 53 years old and keeps out of the public eye.
