Baywatch star David Hasselhoff looks a little washed up

With his Baywatch days now firmly behind him, David Hasselhoff has fallen victim to middle-age spread.

The 55-year-old, once famous for hitting Malibu beach in his trademark red shorts and toned six-pack, revealed his rotund stomach during an early morning visit to LA's Blue Plate cafe in LA yesterday.

His paunch was on display in all its glory in a tight-fitting sleeveless top, while it appears age has taken its toll on his eye sight too - he was also wearing a pair of spectacles.

The actor, known as The Hoff, is preparing to again take his place on the judging panel with Piers Morgan and Sharon Osbourne for the next series of US show America's Got Talent.

The program, which is executive produced by Simon Cowell, will kick off with auditions in Chicago on March 16 as hopefuls battle it out for a $US1 million dollar prize.

Hasselhoff appears to be back on track after his alcohol relapse and subsequent hospitalization last year.

The star received treatment after video footage shot by his daughter showed him blind drunk and rolling around trying to eat a hamburger off the floor.

He has since said: "I realized it right away, I just went in and took care of it, and I'm back."

In December, Hasselhoff ironed out the remaining details of his divorce from Pamela Bach.

The couple reached an undisclosed financial agreement and agreed to share custody of their daughters Taylor Ann, 17, and Hayley, 15.
