Alec Baldwin talks TMZ

Alec Baldwin

In case you haven’t noticed, Alec Baldwin isn’t the most … let’s say “calm-minded” person, especially when it comes to the media. So it may or may not come as a surprise to you that in his latest interview with Vanity Fair, which comes on the heels of his marriage, Alec talks all about how he wants to violently murder TMZ‘s Harvey Levin as well as his ex-wife’s lawyers. Completely normal.

Baldwin, who recently got into an altercation with a Daily News photographer, is the first to admit he’s had a volatile past, acknowledging that he often “gave the Heisman” to people in Hollywood, sometimes “unreasonably” and “childishly.” When Purdum asks Baldwin where he thinks his anger comes from, the actor launches into a long description of the perversity of the industry he works in: “You know, Hollywood does draw some very strange characters, and then the power of Hollywood and what they can do with it becomes like a blood sport to them.” Then he returned to the frustrations and injustices of his child-custody case. He outlined vivid fantasies of the gruesome ways in which he might have murdered his wife’s lawyer (“with a baseball bat”) or Harvey Levin, the TMZ producer who posted the embarrassing voice mail Baldwin left for his daughter: “I wanted to stick a knife in him and gut him and kill him and I wanted him to die breathing his last breath looking into my eyes.”

HOLY CRAP ALEC BALDWIN IS A PSYCHOPATH! I mean – HA! Alec is so right about everything! And handsome! He’s a handsome, talented actor, I agree with everything he says. (Please don’t kill me!)
