ALEC BALDWIN ON HOW HE’S LIVING NOW: With production on a standstill, Alec Baldwin is spending his quarantine with his growing family in their East Hampton home. He tells The Hollywood Reporter: “I think we’re doing quite well, considering. We’ve got four little kids at home, and my wife is pregnant again.” It’s all about keeping them busy he adds: “Yeah, we like kids. I guess you could say we’re collectors. And being out here on the island, where we have plenty of land and open space, my number one task every day is to help divert their attention from how peculiar this all is. My older son turned to me the other day and said, ‘I miss New York.’ We love both places. But my kids go to school there. We take the kids everywhere… the museum, this play space, Chelsea Piers and all this other stuff. So we keep them moving. They are getting a stronger and stronger sense of how strange this is, so my job is to keep them occupied.”
