Though it seems Alec Baldwin would likely be swamped between his ongoing legal battle stemming from the 2021 Rust shooting and raising the seven children he shares with his definitely-not-Spanish wife, Hilaria, the actor found time to head to the picket lines this week, landing in a tense confrontation with several protesters over the conflict in Gaza.
While it remains unclear what exactly sparked the heated exchange during the New York City demonstration — a clip of which has since gone viral on social media — Baldwin was visibly peeved … growing even more so after being asked to speak out against Israel.

"You work for Hollywood, do you condemn Israel?" a protester can be heard saying.
Yet instead of giving an answer, the 30 Rock alum appeared to egg the demonstrator on even further, demanding that they ask him something “smart.”
“You’ve already made up your mind,” Baldwin fired back.
“I’m in Hollywood’s pockets, you said? You ask stupid questions,” he repeated, getting closer and closer to the protester. “Ask me a smart question! Ask a smart question!”
So take it from the controversial celeb — maybe finish your fights with the New Mexico legal system before duking it out with strangers.
