Alec Baldwin is a well-known Hollywood star, and he has starred in several notable films such as Beetlejuice and The Boss Baby, among others. While he is an incredible actor and comedian, his temper has been a bit of a talking point.
Baldwin has lost his cool several times over the years, and some of them are well documented. He got into it with a person recently, and he ended up punching her camera. While his temper has not been his best friend, many have taken his side this time.
Alec Baldwin has a history of blowing a gasket
It is well-known within the industry that Alec Baldwin has a bit of a temper. He has often been in the headlines for letting his emotions get the better of him. Sometimes his anger spilled over to social media as well.
Baldwin once allegedly got into a physical altercation with a photographer who tried to take photos of the actor outside the Marriage License Bureau in New York. The photographer, who worked for the Daily News, claimed that Baldwin struck him and that his partner, who was with him, managed to capture the incident on reel.
The actor’s daughter, Ireland Baldwin, has allegedly also been affected by it. She was only 11 years old at the time of the incident, though. She had a scheduled call with her father, and when she did not answer his call, the actor allegedly went on a tirade, going so far as to call her a “rude, thoughtless, little pig,” as reported by TMZ.
In 2011, the Pearl Harbor actor was removed from a plane because he did not turn off his phone. He was playing Words with Friends on his device, and he apparently ignored the flight attendant’s repeated requests.
Alec Baldwin’s reputation has suffered greatly due to his behavior throughout his career. And yet he has found himself drawn into another scandal.
Alec Baldwin got confronted recently and fans have sided with him online
The actor found himself at the heart of yet another controversy this time. Baldwin was at a coffee shop when a person started recording him while trying to provoke him. She brought up the accident on the set of Rust, where a grievous tragedy unfolded, further egging him on to say Free Palestine.
The accident on the set of Rust was a very unfortunate one. Baldwin was filming the Western film, when the gun that he was holding, went off. It had a round of live bullets, and it ended up killing the cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and injuring the film director too. He maintained his innocence, stating that he had no idea it had live ammunition since they were banned on film sets, and the shooting resumed.
The individual at the coffee shop asked Baldwin how he managed to avoid jail time despite killing Hutchins. The barista tried to intervene, but the actor had had enough of it. Since the video surfaced on social media, many have come out in support of Baldwin.
She provoked him and then we're supposed to be surprised when he did something?! 🙄🤣

Yeah. I’m no Baldwin fan at all….. But, I also don’t like this type of harassing behaviour either. Neither are good.

I don't blame him. In fact I think he showed remarkable restraint

Alec Baldwin’s temper issues got so out of hand, that he decided to take anger management lessons a few years ago. Hopefully, the lessons will come in handy.
