'Hold on to your hats' Alec Baldwin warns fans ahead of family reality show
Alec Baldwin has warned people to "hold on to [their] hats" ahead of 'The Baldwins' family reality show, which airs on TLC this Sunday (23.02.25).
Alec Baldwin has warned people to "hold on to [their] hats" ahead of his reality show debut.
The 66-year-old actor and his wife Hilaria are documenting their family life with kids Carmen, 11, Rafael, nine, Leonardo, eight, Romeo, six, Eduardo and Marilu, both four, and two-year-old Ilaria in 'The Baldwins', which kicks off on TLC on Sunday (23.02.25), and the pair have joked viewers will find their home antics exhausting.
The 41-year-old yoga instructor and entrepreneur told 'Extra' about if they will be watching the show: "We’re thinking a little bit of takeout, some wine…”
Alec - who also has 29-year-old Ireland with ex-wife Kim Basinger - jumped in: “The reality show is coming out and hold on to your hats, folks.”
Hilaria added: “You guys might get tired, a little tired of what it's like to have seven kids.”
Hilaria previously admitted making the show was "very cathartic" in the wake of Alec being charged with involuntary manslaughter after a prop gun he was holding on the set of 'Rust'discharged and fatally shot cinematographer Halyna Hutchin.
She told People magazine: "It was an opportunity for us to actually speak. It was a really safe space.
"And I think it was also very cathartic, almost like a diary, during a very unsure time of our life. That felt both terrifying and like it could get us through day by day."
Alec - whose trial collapsed last summer - explained that he signed onto the series because he is not too desperate to undergo "work-related" projects anymore and saw it as an an opportunity to spend more time with his loved ones.
The 'Boss Baby' star said: "We did the show because it’s in place of doing a movie or a play. Now I think to myself, ‘Am I going to be away from my kids five nights out of the week until 11 o’clock at night?
"For me, work-related things really aren’t that critical anymore. I thought, ‘I get to spend time with my family.
"I always joke with her and say, ‘You know where I should be right now, don’t you? We should be on Geffen’s yacht, drinking a cappuccino and reading a book, and having dinner with Spielberg or whatever.
"This is my reality. I wouldn't change anything."
