Alec Baldwin á símsvaranum !!!!

 

 

In an interview with the July/August issue of Playboy Magazine, Emmy-winning actor Alec Baldwin isadmits he contemplated suicide after an angry voicemail he left for his then-11-year-old daughter, Ireland, was leaked to the press in 2007.

“I spoke to a lot of professionals, who helped me.”

During what he describes as a self-destructive phase, the 51-year-old father threatened to quit his starring role on the NBC comedy 30 Rock and even briefly left his agent. After apologizing to his daughter, Alec channeled his frustration in the child-custody court system — and former wife Kim Basinger — into a book called A Promise to Ourselves, described as a guide for divorced fathers who are struggling to remain involved in their children’s lives.

Alec blames his frustration with the system for his outburst at Ireland; he says he chose to come out on the ABC chatfest The View because he trusted series stars Whoopi Goldberg and Barbara Walters.

“Whoopi Goldberg is a friend. I called her and said, ‘Do you think I can get a fair shake?’ Because when you talk about family law and parental alienation, there is this unfortunate gender-based dynamic. Could I walk into a show with a strong female audience?” he recalls. “Would they understand my point of view? I trusted Whoopi and Barbara Walters. Whoopi is an impeccably decent person, and I am grateful she gave me a forum.”
