Alec Baldwin on Fatherhood
Baldwin attended the premiere of 'Gaslit' on June 12, where he spoke with E! News. When asked about his children, he couldn't stop gushing about them. He revealed that he strives to instill hope in his children's minds as a core parenting principle. 'I want my kids to grow up having hope because right now it's more hopeless than I've ever seen,' he said.
He also emphasized the importance of teaching children to keep fighting and never give up, regardless of circumstances. 'We've got to continue to fight to prove to our children that you got to keep fighting. You got to have hope, and you got to keep fighting to take the reins of power in our society, and that responsibility—that awesome responsibility—away from people who are going to abuse it,' Baldwin added.
