Alec Baldwin obsessed with death

Los Angeles Oct 22 (IANS) Actor Alec Baldwin says having young children makes him think more and more about death.

Baldwin 59 who has daughter Ireland 21 with former wife Kim Basinger and children Carmen four Rafael two and Leonardo 12 months with spouse Hilaria says becoming a father again late in life has made him reflect on his own mortality reports femalefirst.co.uk.

"You know what I think about now? I think about how much time I have left. I mean there s men dying in their sixties. I mean maybe they were not the healthiest of men... I m not going to say I m obsessed with death but I m semi-obsessed with death " Baldwin told GQ magazine.

Baldwin used to envy actors like Leonardo DiCaprio who has won widespread critical acclaim for his work in particular in collaboration with filmmaker Martin Scorsese but has now realised that personal fulfilment is more important than career satisfaction.

"How blessed is Leo? To make those movies with Marty? I mean what a great life he s having. But at the same time and I m not saying this with any judgement Leo is single and has no kids. That s the distinction. We should end with that. To not confuse career with life " said Baldwin.

"My career was not what I wanted it to be in many ways. There are times it has been. 30 Rock was great. This Trump thing is great. I ve had moments in the theatre. But my life is great. I found a woman 26 years younger than me who was dumb enough to marry me that was her only flaw " he added.
