From February 2009:
"They were saying I smoke crack and using all this innuendo, and I thought a magazine as credible as Newsweek? I was very surprised that this was happening. And then I thought I had to make some real choices. Is that what I want for myself? Did I get TOO big? Because I like people. And I like entertaining. And the higher up I go, for some reason the less happy I am. You know, is it going to get to the point where I'm doing a strip tease on TRL or waving a gun on the street saying they're trying to kill me? No, I'm not going to let it get to that point. I'm going to go to Africa... I'm going to find a way to be myself man, I gotta you know... I'm an artist man, you know I don't need a Sneaker deal. There's only six studios, man. There's only six agencies, man. This is a small controlled thing and I don't... like having to beg for the spotlight, man. You know, the machine is good for us and we're good for the machine and it should be... it should be fair, man. Martin had a stroke, he almost died. And then after that, I saw him and I said oh my God Martin, are you okay? And he said, I got the best sleep I ever got in my life. That's how tough he is. And so the question is, what is happening in Hollywood? That a guy that tough... would be on the street waving a gun screaming 'they are trying to kill me'? What is going on? Why is Dave Chappelle going to Africa? Why is Mariah Carey taking a one hundred million dollar deal and taking her clothes off on TRL? A weak person cannot get to sit here and talk to you. There ain't no weak people talking to you. So what is happening in Hollywood? Nobody knows! The worst thing to call somebody is crazy, it's dismissive. I don't understand this person, so they're crazy. That's bullshit. These people are not crazy, they're strong people. Maybe their environment...... is a little sick."
I have to agree with you re: not everything is a conspiracy. I was watching a rerun of Home Improvement (with Tim Allen) from WAY back in the day (1995), and who should have an appearance? A VERY young Dave Chappelle and Jim Brewer (both of Half Baked). He was skinny just like most young men are, and he was still pretty young in his mid 20s and early 30s doing the Chappelle's Show from 2006 - about 2010(ish). Men naturally fill out and gain mass to their bodies - nobody looks the same in their 40s and 50s as they did in their 20s and 30s, that's just time taking its toll as it does with all of us. He's no different. We're a full 10 years out from when he stopped doing Chapelle's Show. Not to mention, he's married, he's living in a rural area of Ohio now, dude's packed on a few pounds.
Thank you. I rewatched beetlejuice and the dad in that movie looked familiar. The mouth and nostrils gave it away I promptle recognized Alec Baldwin. But he was skinny, young, and was a pretty hanfsome dude.
You see him now - older, wider, much more "filled in" and you could make the same body double argument. Especially with how outspoken amd unhinged he's been.
Yeah Alec Baldwin was quite a hot potato back in the day. He was very handsome. Now that he opens his mouth and has been spewing the kind of hate he has for President Trump, he's ugly inside and out to me. He's part of the problem and that makes him ugly no matter what he looks like.
