Alec Baldwin would love to expand his family.
While discussing his happiness with girlfriend Hilaria
Thomas on “Piers Morgan Tonight” on Wednesday, the British host asked the “30
Rock” star if he’d like to have more children.
“Have I thought about having more kids? Oh sure, that
would be great, that would be heaven, that would be fantastic,” Alec told
Piers, who two months ago welcomed a new daughter to his own British brood.
Alec then went on to make a joke about his potential
plans to have more children later in life. (His daughter Ireland, with ex-wife
Kim Basinger, is now 16.)
“As my friend said to me, ‘When you have children,
typically in a second marriage, when you’re older and you get married again to
a woman who would have children, you must always remember that you make sure
[the children] attend a college where the commencement ceremonies are held in a
facility with a wheelchair accessible ramp,’” Alec added, tongue-in-cheek.
The actor also addressed dating a younger woman –
Hilaria, a yoga instructor, is 27, while he is 53.
Alec revealed he actually sought advice from Tony
Bennett, who is married to a much younger woman by several decades, wife Susan
Crow.
“I said to Tony, ‘I’m dating a woman who is… younger than
I am — she’s a lot younger than I am — and I sometimes think about that and I
know, Tony, you’re with Susan and you’re quite a bit older than her,’” Alec
recounted. “And he looked at me and he goes, ‘Yeah, people say that to me all
the time and I say to them, ’Consider the alternative.’”
