Now that actor Alec Baldwin is 50 years old, he might run for political office. Baldwin talks to 60 Minutes correspondent Morley Safer about that and other aspects of his life, including his very public divorce and custody battle, in a profile to be broadcast this Sunday, May 11, at 7 p.m. ET/PT.
A decade ago, Baldwin was interested in politics, but said he was only 39 and all the people who ran the world were in their fifties. Since then, he has publicly dismissed the notion of running for office. A few weeks ago, he changed his mind. "There's other things I want to do [besides acting]. I mean, in a matter of weeks, I'm going to be 50," says Baldwin, who turned 50 on April 3. "Theres no age limit on running for office, to a degree. [It is] something I might do one day," says Baldwin.

Maybe he should spend more time with his daughter.
legend in his own mind. LOL
Baldwin is a real rat! I rank him right up there with the bulbouse nosed one and his lyin’ old lady!!!!
I thought he’s been living in Paris for the past 8 years? Oh...right! He’s a lying hypocrite like the rest of them.
What is scary is that people will vote for him.
Gifted actor. Too many personal demons to be elected to most public offices, especially after the phone-message scandal. Alec, hate your politics, love your acting (mostly — Miami Blues stank). Stick to acting.
The only political job Alec Baldwin is qualified for is senator of booze consuming and skirt chasing (Long Island District).
As if we don’t have enough aging, fat politicians already.
Elect as Dog catcher!
Did you read this yet? If you think about him & all his issues he would fit right in. Thankfully he won’t be in NJ. We have enough big mouth fatso lying crooks ...
Like Al Franken?
Nah, only his hollywierd friends. Wait, does he have any?
Take that message he left to his daughter.
You are a rude, thoughtless little pig. ... You dont have the brains or the decency as a human being. ... I dont give a damn that youre 12 years old, or 11 years old, or that youre a child, or that your mother is a thoughtless pain in the ass who doesnt care about what you do as far as Im concerned. You have humiliated me for the last time with this phone. ...
It does sound a note that we haven't heard in political rhetoric for quite some time ...
Didn’t we ask this guy to leave the country?
Whenever I hear an interview with guy with any type of conservative host, he starts insulting and fighting practically before the interviewer has finished saying hello. The anger oozes out of him.
He’s never succeed, too much baggage, too many inappropriate remarks.
The Dem I think could succeed is Tom Hanks. People like him.
You are useress Arrec Bardrin!
Yet more proof that Liberalism is a mental disorder, and those who have it, develop a suicide/death wish.
That’ll be fun. The tape of him cursing at his daughter, and the one of him making fun of her on national tv will be looped and run non-stop through the whole campaign.
Certainly not qualified for politics — he’s a first-rate whackjob.
That being said — I liked his character in The Departed. His assessment of the benefits of marriage is absolutely hysterical ...
(Baldwin is a Boston Cop, head of organized crime unit — speaking to Matt Damon’s character, who is considering marriage ...)
“Marriage is an important part of getting ahead — lets people know you’re not a homo. Married guy seems more stable. People see the ring, they think at least somebody can stand the son of a b****. Ladies see the ring, they know immediately you must have some cash and your **** must work.”
Never been a huge Baldwin fan. But, I highly recommend The Departed for people that aren’t offended by extreme language and some violence. Scorcese film w/ Damon (also a liberal wacko), DiCaprio, Nicholson, Wahlberg (a great character), M. Sheen. Baldwin’s more of a side character ... great movie, though.
H
so the guy that beat up Kim Bassenger, and calls his own daughter a pig, wants to run for office... well all righty then!!! looks like he's got all the bases covered to run as a RAT.
Didn’t Alec also threaten to pull Henry Hyde and his family out of their home and kill them during the impeachment of WJC? I wish that video was up on YouTube.
