Baywatch cast reunite over 20 years after final episode for David Hasselhoff’s 70th birthday-Ruth Lawes-Entertainment – Metro

While there were no red swimsuits to be seen, David Hasselhoff still managed to celebrate his 70th birthday in style, marking the big day with a lavish party attended by his former Baywatch co-stars.

The Hollywood actor, who played head lifeguard Mitch Buchannon in the classic 90s TV show, was joined by his on-screen son Jeremy Jackson at the starry event, who described him as a ‘handsome legend.’

Fellow Baywatch stars Kelly Packard, David Chokachi and Parker Stevenson were also at the birthday party which featured a clown on stilts.

They were all having the times of their lives in a restaurant and bar in Calabasas, California.

The Hoff shared a clip from the shindig on his Instagram which showed his loved ones belting out ‘Happy Birthday’ to him, before he blows out the candles on a three-tier cake.

He wrote: ‘I’m in the 70s club now. Happy birthday to me see you all soon.’

Jeremy, 41, also posted a photo from the event on his Instagram of Hasselhoff holding his face affectionately and described his former TV father as his ‘childhood idol’.
