“Baywatch” icon David Hasselhoff sparked concern among fans after being spotted looking frail and using a walker.
The actor, 73, was photographed during a day out with his wife, Hayley Roberts, 45, in Los Angeles on Wednesday.
In the photos shared by the Daily Mail, Hasselhoff kept things simple in a casual sweater and baseball cap. He was seen slowly making his way to the parking lot with the help of a walker, accompanied by his wife.
Earlier this month, Hasselhoff’s representative confirmed to the outlet that the actor has undergone knee and hip replacement surgery.
Fans Worry About David Hasselhoff
Previously, David Hasselhoff was seen on a nature hike with his wife, using trekking poles for support. At the time, the “Young and the Restless” alum seemed to require some assistance from his wife, who, at one point, appeared to steady him by placing her hands on his sides.
Last July, Hasselhoff was also spotted limping through an airport, revealing his plans for knee surgery. He was later seen being pushed in a wheelchair by an airline worker.
Following his latest outing, fans expressed concern for the actor in the comments, with many wishing him a speedy recovery.
One fan wrote, “PRAYERS for David’s strengthened health.”
Another commented, “Always think of him as this big beefy healthy guy, sad to see him look so pale and frail.”
Someone added, “This is really scary. Just like that, anybody can go from being in good health one day to having a very serious health crisis the next day.”
David Hasselhoff Eyes Major Comeback, Says Source
