Alec Baldwin‘s goal for his children isn’t unattainable.
The Mission: Impossible–Rogue Nation actor shared the important message he’s instilling in his and wife Hilaria Baldwin‘s kids: Carmen, 12, Rafael, 10, Leonardo, 9, Romeo, 8, Eduardo, 5, Maria Lucia, 5, and Ilaria, 3.
“I want my kids to grow up having hope,” Alec exclusively told E! News at the premiere of the documentary Gaslit on June 12, “because right now it’s more hopeless than I’ve ever seen.”
The political activist—who is also dad to daughter Ireland, 30, with ex-wife Kim Basinger—continued, “We’ve got to continue to fight to prove to our children that you have to keep fighting. You need to have hope, and you have to keep fighting to take the reins of power in our society, and that responsibility—that awesome responsibility—away from people who are going to abuse it.”
On a lighter note, Alec, 68, went on to joke that he previously aimed for his children to achieve a different goal.
