7. Alec Baldwin Said Really Terrible Things To His 11-Year-Old Daughter In A Voicemail
Creepiness Factor: 6/10 Alec Baldwin is generally considered to be a "cool guy." He has carved out a specific nook for himself in the world of film and TV in which he excels at playing smarmy and authoritative characters unlike anybody else. But Baldwin can be creepy in real life, and has shown himself up as somebody with a panache for threatening behaviour. And the outright creepiest instance of such occurred when Baldwin left his 11-year-old daughter a threatening voicemail, some of which has been transcribed below:
"I want you to know something, okay? I'm tired of playing this game with you. You are a rude, thoughtless little pig. You don't have the brains or the decency as a human being. I don't give a damn that you're 12 years old, or 11 years old, or that you're a child, or that your mother is a thoughtless pain in the a*s who doesn't care about what you do as far as I'm concerned. I'm gonna come over for the day and I'm gonna straighten your ass out when I see you."
Aside from the bizarre way that he speaks to an actual child, he also makes time to insult said child's mother, Kim Basinger, which most will agree is not at all appropriate - not from a respectable adult, anyway. The actor eventually apologised for his actions, but something about this incident leaves a sour taste of the lingering kind. Bad move, Alec.
