US actor Alec Baldwin and his pregnant wife Hilaria Thomas at the 66th annual Cannes Film Festival in May. Baldwin was there to promote his new movie, 'Seduced And Abandoned'.
Alec Baldwin would “love” to quit acting and he’s never going to use Twitter again, according to a new interview in Vanity Fair.
The former 30 Rock star’s dream is to be just a regular guy ... some day.
“I have one dream in my life and that is that this daughter I’m having – she comes to me about seven or eight years from now, she has a friend, and she’s at her house and she says, ‘Daddy, Susie’s mum says you used to be on TV. Daddy, is that true?’ She has no knowledge of me as a public person. That would be heaven for me.”
When asked if he was going to quit acting, Baldwin said, “I’d love to if I could, yeah. That would be the greatest thing in the world ... if I could find something else to do.”
As for Twitter, Baldwin credits the late James Gandolfini for his decision. “I went to Jimmy Gandolfini’s funeral, and when I was there I realised Jimmy Gandolfini didn’t have Twitter,” Baldwin told Vanity Fair.
“Jimmy Gandolfini was so beloved as a person, and he was so admired as an actor, and he didn’t give a f*** about social media.
“I really learned a lesson at the funeral,” Baldwin continued. “I said to myself, ‘This is all a waste of time’. Meaning it’s fun sometimes, but less and less, and less. It’s just another chink in your armour for people to come and kill you.”
The interview also touched on Baldwin’s character in Woody Allen’s upcoming film, Blue Jasmine, his affinity for travel alarm clocks and his love of classical music, classic movies and art. – Reuters
