00:00I'm a pizza-eating dinosaur.
00:03I am, too.
00:04This is my summer with my kids.
00:06I'm just trying really hard to have time with them individually.
00:10It's time that they can't get back.
00:12I don't want to have that regret.
00:13Go!
00:14Whoa!
00:16Whatcha doing?
00:17I'm making a face mask.
00:19This is how you get him to shut up.
00:20Exfoliate all those, like, 66 years of not washing your face.
00:25Alec doesn't always do things in the most efficient way,
00:28because he sort of obsesses about how it has to be.
00:31It's the OCD meets the ADHD.
00:33I'm very impulsive.
00:34I just want to do it right away.
00:36Is this why I always do Pals projects on my own?
00:38I see moments where you want to run away, you want to deflect.
00:43I've known you for over 13 years now, and for you, it's always,
00:47well, I have to move.
00:48Well, I have to quit this.
00:49Well, I have to do that.
00:50I do not want to go back to the life I had.
00:52I don't.
00:53I don't care.
00:54I don't want to go back.
00:58Zip up your fly.
01:16Hold on, please.
01:17And, um...
01:18I don't have a fly.
01:19What are you talking about?
01:20I thought you were trying to zip up your fly, and I'm going to do it, like, upstairs.
01:23Actually, my jacket, no, we have a pact.
01:26I want to make an agreement with you right now with our witnesses here.
01:29All of our witnesses.
01:30My witness.
01:31The agreement I want to have is we're going to only say positive things.
01:35Nothing negative.
01:36No picking on, Daddy.
01:37There's not much to pick on.
01:40What's that line in King Lear?
01:42How...
01:46What's that great line in Lear?
01:47How sharper than a serpent's tooth is an ungrateful child.
01:52You know that line, Carmen?
01:54Oh, you smell.
01:55You want to upstage me that way?
01:56Fine.
01:57I'll just look out this way.
01:58And you smell like horse poop.
01:59Shh.
02:06So summer is almost over.
02:08What are your plans when you go back to the city?
02:10I have been a stay-at-home dad to a large degree, and...
02:14What's funny is whatever you acclimate to me, you don't want to go back.
02:19Now people are like, you're going to go back to work, and you want to do this, you want to do that.
02:22I'm kind of like, I don't know.
02:24I don't really know.
02:27We have a lot of decisions we have to make before we go back to the city.
02:31What are we going to read?
02:32We're going to read...
02:33The Three Bears.
02:34Here we go.
02:35This is all about...
02:36I'm going to teach you all about banking and capitalism.
02:38This is the Three Bears.
02:39Humpty Dumpty.
02:40Humpty Dumpty.
02:41This is all about medical insurance.
02:42Humpty Dumpty fell down and broke into a lot of different pieces.
02:46So he called his lawyer, and he went to the hospital and had a lot of work done.
02:55Alec and I have a lot of similarities with parenting.
02:58We are very focused on being present.
03:01We are very focused on our kids being kind to each other.
03:05Humpty Dumpty.
03:06Humpty Dumpty.
03:07No, don't hit him.
03:08No violence.
03:09No violence.
03:10No violence.
03:11No, don't hurt her.
03:12Alec loves those kids, and he really wants to be around to enjoy them.
03:15So Humpty Dumpty then sued, and he was awarded $19.5 million for damage.
03:21That's Humpty Dumpty.
03:22And now, Alice in Wonderland, this is all about...
03:25Well, I don't want to say what it's about.
03:26It's all about the perils of hanging out with the wrong crowd.
03:29Okay, let's see what happens when...
03:32With the piggy charger.
03:33What are the biggest differences with Ilaria in your parenting style?
03:38Oh, things have changed so much, and it really has changed.
03:41I think when you're her age, and you have kids, and you get older, you get tougher.
03:45We're in a cottage on the edge of the great forest.
03:48Listen, listen, mommy's gonna be...
03:50There dwelt a little girl by the name of Marilu.
03:53And for me, as I'm getting older and older, I don't want to be tougher.
03:57I don't want to be anything.
03:59I just want to be a father to my kids, and I want to just watch and see
04:02and what the years I have left is to experience, and not have it be about me.
04:06Whatever you do...
04:07I'm really old?
04:08Okay, great.
04:09I'm gonna go to sleep.
04:10Whatever you do...
04:11We can't play this game.
04:12We're playing the book game.
04:13Don't jump on me.
04:14Don't jump on me.
04:15It's dangerous.
04:18I could jump by myself.
04:22You need me right in the old Galveston there, baby.
04:26I want to do...
04:27I want to do...
04:28I want to do...
04:29I want to do...
04:30What is your biggest concern with going back to work?
04:33You know, these kids are gonna turn around, and they're gonna be ready to go to college,
04:36and I'm gonna be old.
04:38Older.
04:39I'm gonna be old.
04:4115 years from now, 14 years from now, I'll be 80.
04:44I try not to think about that.
04:46What I need is more time with my kids.
04:48You know?
04:50Then they went home, and they listened to their parents for the rest of their lives.
04:56The end.
05:02What side do you want?
05:03Which chair do you want?
05:04My left side is my better side.
05:05Oh, my left side is my better side.
05:07Ooh.
05:08Too bad.
05:09Ooh.
05:10Not fair.
05:11Such to be you.
05:12I've been working with Alec for two and a half years.
05:16Emily?
05:17Emily?
05:18Emily?
05:19When I first started, I was very... just a little timid.
05:24Write down, Google Neil Marin.
05:27Then I quickly realized that Alec is the most normal person you'll ever meet.
05:31It's not the glitz and the glam.
05:33Can Emily hear me?
05:34Emily?
05:35Being Alec's assistant is just being part of the family and trying to help keep their lives
05:41be as smooth and seamless as possible.
05:44With the seven kids and with the four cats and with all the dogs, a lot comes up with them
05:48because both he and Ellaria are very busy people.
05:51So it could be anything from helping them schedule their back-to-school doctor appointments
05:56or fixing a cracked windshield.
05:58So every day, bring something new.
06:02Let's do the day.
06:03Doing the day.
06:04Doing the day.
06:05Every single person...
06:06No, I knew you were going to say this.
06:08Every single person who's ever done this job...
06:09I knew you were going to say this.
06:10I shouldn't have said it.
06:11...has said the same thing.
06:12Oh, my God.
06:13Because I always find it kind of interesting.
06:14Doing the day, they'll say.
06:15In the same cases, they go, doing the day.
06:17Doing the day.
06:18Here we go, let's do this.
06:19Doing the day.
06:20And they do it with a little effusiveness because that meant we're done.
06:23And they can go on there and live there.
06:24Yeah, let's get this over with so I can go play volleyball.
06:26I think Emily was a really good camp fan.
06:28Oh, yeah.
06:29And you guys would go to the gym together.
06:30To the gym.
06:31Emily and I?
06:32Emily's a good buddy.
06:33Emily and I were bros.
06:34Literally the best.
06:35Let's do the day.
06:36Doing the day.
06:37We emailed PR rep.
06:40iHeart sent the profit statements for Q2.
06:42That's great.
06:43And then Jeff Kostikian sent the before and after pictures of the rug.
06:46And said he'll send photos of the completed product.
06:49I'm trying to think.
06:50We're going to go that those dogs aren't going to get anywhere near them.
06:54I'm sorry.
06:55America.
06:56I'm upset.
06:57I'm upset.
06:59A lot of people ask me what Alec is like as a boss.
07:05I think a lot of people have sort of, you know, ideas already made up in their head of the type of person that he is.
07:12That he's this really intense energy and, you know, is very demanding.
07:16But he's an actor, of course, so he loves, you know, bringing that emotional play into things.
07:22And the most minor thing could go wrong and his favorite buzzword will be, it's a disaster.
07:27This room, it's a disaster.
07:30Oh, God.
07:31This is a disaster.
07:32If the kid spills a snack, he's like, oh my God, it's a disaster.
07:35It's a disaster.
07:37You want to talk about movies and scripts?
07:40You have a lot to read.
07:41I have a lot to read.
07:42All my life, you'd read scripts and there were some, you'd close the script and you'd be like, I'm in.
07:52I'll never forget when I did Prelude to a Kiss.
07:55One reading, one afternoon, two hours.
07:57I can put myself there now.
07:59I'm in my old apartment.
08:00I think it was raining out, but maybe I'm just embellishing here.
08:03And then I finish the script and I close it and I pick up the phone and I call my agent and I go, I'm in.
08:07Only recently now am I getting really good job opportunities.
08:10But these kids, just the joy and the gift of being able to stay home a lot and be with them.
08:18Because when I'm here, it's easy for them to ignore me.
08:20But that's the rule, with fathers especially, which is as long as you're there, they want to know you're there.
08:25When I'm not here and I'm gone, they're like, where are you?
08:30And they're very adamant that everything's better if I'm here with them.
08:33They don't necessarily want to talk to me, interact with me, but they're like, you know,
08:37I just want to make sure you're over there in that chair.
08:39Anything else Monday?
08:40Nope, nothing else on Monday.
08:42In four years of playing Trump, I do that now.
08:44I'm like, anything else on Monday?
08:46I like snap into this like posture.
08:49One of the funniest things that I tell people about Alec is that Alec insists on using a Microsoft Word calendar template
08:58that he has been using for, I don't even want to know how long, but I've been using it every day for the last two and a half years.
09:04And it's so funny because we make so many changes every single day.
09:08So nothing Tuesday, nothing Wednesday.
09:10And then Wednesday would be the boat.
09:13On Wednesday.
09:14Yep.
09:15And I'm like, wouldn't it make more sense to just have an online calendar?
09:19That way, as soon as we make an adjustment, it'll show up for you.
09:22But instead, he has to wait until 8pm every night for me to send the new Microsoft Word calendar.
09:28That was the day.
09:29Done the day.
09:30Louie, baby.
09:32Am I coming here to present the child in the grand living room?
09:37I suppose you are.
09:38Your highness.
09:39Yes.
09:40I would like to present to you.
09:41Yes.
09:42Bring me my youngest child.
09:43Your eighth child.
09:44Are you the ball chunk?
09:45I'm the ball chunk?
09:46Is that a tiara?
09:47It's literally a tiara.
09:48Ooh.
09:49I think people assume, you know, because Alec is such a big Hollywood figure that he's someone that's always out on the town
09:59and running to these events and red carpet and very glamorous this, glamorous that.
10:03How are you, sweetie?
10:04How was camp today?
10:05Was it fun?
10:06Yes, he's an amazing actor with an incredible career.
10:09But at the end of the day, he is just a dad of seven kids who just wants to give them the best life possible.
10:15Oh, are you picking your nose and wiping it in on my jacket?
10:17Oh, I feel so at home.
10:19Hey!
10:21Hey!
10:23What are you cleaning?
10:24What are you cleaning?
10:26I've never met someone who is as passionate about organization as Alec.
10:32Are you cleaning?
10:33Just like Daddy.
10:34Don't touch the very breakable thing.
10:36I just want to clean it.
10:37I can't rest.
10:38I can't eat until this table is clean.
10:40Is this your magnifier thing?
10:43I want to poop on you.
10:45Baby, she's having to poop on you.
10:47Both?
10:48I pooped on you.
10:49No!
10:50We only have a few weeks left of summer.
10:53And we're going to go back into the city.
10:55It's going to get hectic.
10:56School is going to start.
10:58So I really want to take this time now to figure out how do we want our life to be?
11:03And in taking the next steps forward.
11:06How do I get the hell out of here?
11:07We're stuck in here.
11:08We're stuck in here.
11:16Hi!
11:18What are you doing?
11:19You and him, do you know?
11:21Look at me.
11:22You're the other expert at that.
11:23When you go, uh…
11:24Give me a…
11:25Why do you do that?
11:29You and him, you know?
11:33Look at me.
11:34You're the other expert at that, where you go,
11:36give me a...
11:39These are my sons.
11:44Oh, no, what have I done?
11:47You know, I had one child when I was more age-appropriate.
11:50When you have one child, it's a different situation.
11:56I'm older. I have a lot of boys.
11:58We have four boys in a row.
11:59We're slugging each other every 20 minutes,
12:01and you're kind of a camp counselor.
12:04But I love him, and the kids love him, too.
12:06Me? You think he's stronger than me?
12:08Oh, Grandpa. Wait, listen to me.
12:11I'm sitting here on the park bench near the pond,
12:15and whatever you do, don't touch me.
12:17You understand?
12:18Okay.
12:19You, too.
12:20You and this little punk right here.
12:22You, get out of the way, sonny.
12:25The joy of being able to stay home a lot and be with them.
12:28There you, squirrel.
12:29They love that.
12:31Back when I was working all the time,
12:32I would make films and TV shows.
12:34I used to make movies that were 12 weeks, 60 days.
12:38I did 70.
12:39Someone did 80.
12:40I was away from my family.
12:41That's how it's gotta be.
12:42With a cat in a hat for like 100.
12:44The time is just lost.
12:46The hole and the point.
12:48It's, it's not, uh, it's just not my life anymore to go away.
12:51You rotten little punks.
12:53I think the biggest concern, of course, is that I'm 66 years old.
12:56How dare you?
12:57I'm gonna go to sleep.
12:59Maybe you do don't bother me.
13:01So your dream is to stay home with your kids all day?
13:04Maybe I'll retire.
13:06I'm not gonna do .
13:08I'm gonna have some fun and be with my kids.
13:11And read and sleep all day.
13:13Maybe eat some, a piece of pizza.
13:16Pizza's a hot meal, don't knock it.
13:19Mommy's playing who?
13:20I'm the grandpa.
13:21I'm playing grandpa.
13:22Something I don't like about this.
13:29I'm Romeo, I'm six.
13:31Say it super happy.
13:33I'm Romeo, I'm six.
13:35Say it now, really mad.
13:37I'm Romeo and I'm six.
13:39Now say it like you're daddy.
13:41I'm Romeo and I'm six.
13:43Now say it like you're mommy.
13:45I'm Romeo and I'm six.
13:47What's your favorite thing about daddy?
13:49My favorite thing about daddy?
13:51He just gave me those hot Cheetos that were amazing.
13:53What's your favorite thing about mommy?
14:00You are my favorite thing about you.
14:02So nice.
14:04And daddy's my favorite thing about daddy.
14:06And I love him buying me stuff.
14:09All kids do a variation of the same thing.
14:11Manipulate you for what they want.
14:13Like with Romeo, we were into a run now of about six months.
14:17We're into it about six months.
14:19And I would say to him, he goes,
14:20could you buy me this for my iPad?
14:21$19.99.
14:22And I go, I just bought it for you yesterday.
14:24He goes, I know, but could you buy it for me, please?
14:26You know, I really want it.
14:27It's $19.99.
14:28Come on.
14:29Come on.
14:30Yes, you bought me $19.99.
14:31OK, but not today in the morning.
14:33You promised me I'm going to buy this for you now,
14:35and you're not going to ask me again this week, right?
14:38And he's like, yeah, OK.
14:41The next day, it's like, I know I said that,
14:43but could you buy this for me?
14:44I mean, Romeo was just incessant.
14:46He is like a dog on a bone.
14:48Is he a softie and he always will get you $9.99 on Roblox?
14:52Yes.
14:53You have to start doing that, too.
14:54I know.
14:55You know what's so convenient?
14:56I just don't learn the password.
14:57Romeo just does not accept.
14:59He's like, come on.
15:01Finally, you give in because you're like, I can't.
15:04And kids know, isn't it amazing how kids know that?
15:06If I keep harassing you, you're going to give in.
15:09You know it.
15:10Let's save us both some time.
15:12You know if I keep doing this, you're going to buy me the $19.99.
15:16So I want to at least save ourselves some time and trouble
15:18and, you know, just buy it for me.
15:27So which pillow do you want?
15:29OK.
15:30I really love my siblings.
15:33I just like taking care of all of them.
15:35I want the face mask here.
15:37I have, like, my own technique of taking care of all of them
15:40in different ways.
15:42Do you want to smell this?
15:43Mmm.
15:44Mmm.
15:45Do you want to put some on?
15:47No.
15:48No?
15:49I'll do skin care on the baby, like, twice a week.
15:51Close your eyes.
15:53Close your eyes.
15:54Here you go.
15:56Depends what she wants me to put on her face.
15:59Sometimes it's just, like, lip products, lash products
16:02when my mom's not looking.
16:04Close your eyes.
16:07Like this.
16:08Doesn't get in your eyes.
16:09Carmen loves skin care.
16:10She has evolved that to researching things
16:13and being like, oh, rice water is good to make your hair shiny
16:16and vitamin C is good for this.
16:18She's experimenting with.
16:19Can I put stuff on your face?
16:21Can I put it on your face?
16:22No.
16:23No.
16:24I do my brother's skin care almost every night.
16:26Put more on.
16:27Come on.
16:28No, no, no.
16:29Just a little bit.
16:30It won't hurt.
16:31It won't hurt.
16:32And I'll, like, put perfume on them so they smell good, of course,
16:35because I don't want stinky brothers.
16:38Carmen is really, really unique.
16:40She's unique.
16:41She was adorable and funny from the get-go.
16:44Can you close the therapy?
16:49My pleasure.
16:55Carmen was an only child.
16:57That was the best year of my life.
16:59The two years.
17:00When she was born, she was our first child, Ilaria and I.
17:03I'll see you next week at the pond.
17:07She says she's going to see you next week at the pond.
17:10I'll see you next week at the pond?
17:12Okay.
17:13See you next week at the pond.
17:16I said my first sentence at, like, seven months.
17:18She hasn't stopped since.
17:20Go nuts.
17:21Go nuts.
17:22Go nuts.
17:23Go nuts.
17:26Okay.
17:27I think that's enough.
17:28You want to put some on me?
17:36Carmen is crazy.
17:37I go, what are you putting in that blender?
17:39She's going to be like, I'm putting in cayenne pepper and hemp milk and some lighter fluid.
17:43And you go, Carmen, what are you doing?
17:45She says, well, if you spray it on the bottom of your shoes and then light it on fire, it burns all the poop off your shoe that you stepped in outside.
17:51And you're looking at Carmen going, like, Carmen's capable of anything.
17:55Oh, my face.
18:05What, mama?
18:07Goodness, you look in the mirror.
18:08Oh, no.
18:09It's fine.
18:10We'll do the lip mask later.
18:16Are you in here by yourself, little friend?
18:18No, we definitely don't need these.
18:20Thank you very much.
18:23Hello.
18:24Hello.
18:25Hello.
18:26Hello.
18:30Oh, you smell so nice.
18:31Well, that's the shower that I took.
18:35Danny is one of my very best friends.
18:37I met him a week after Alec and I got married.
18:40And it was like love at first sight.
18:42Can we fix my hair first?
18:44Yeah, we can fix hair.
18:46I ran home, jumped in the shower and ran over.
18:48And I promised you that we would do hair.
18:50Yeah.
18:51Uh-huh.
18:52You know, Danny stood with us the entire time.
18:55During the trial, the level of gratitude for those who stood with us and who dried our tears and who hugged us as a true friend, as a true person.
19:09So my curling iron, the pin, it's like starting to come out and I can't fix it.
19:13So I got another one.
19:14Yeah.
19:15Well, I do not need a curling iron.
19:16What do you need for it?
19:17What do you need for your, well, no, this is for me, for my hair.
19:20All right.
19:21Well, as long as you're set.
19:22So, I mean, you know that I did a procedure.
19:27You know, I'm like really natural, but I decided to do like a little like.
19:32So, you know, I did a procedure.
19:43Mm-hmm.
19:44Mm-hmm.
19:45I kept sneaking a peek, actually.
19:46You just started flushing.
19:50He's like, well, if the cameras were not here, I would literally be like, okay, show me.
19:56Well, yeah.
19:57Well, since I was breastfeeding for so long, it was one of these things like I decided to do like a little like, a little up.
20:04Yeah.
20:05Yeah.
20:06I've been pregnant and or breastfeeding for over a decade.
20:09I think this is the first time that I've not been pregnant and or breastfeeding since I started having kids.
20:14I got used to my body more or less a certain way than as most women know who breastfeed and the milk goes out.
20:23It's a different, much lower reality.
20:26It almost felt like my body wasn't my body anymore because I was so used to my body being a certain way.
20:32You know, whether you breastfeed and you don't breastfeed and you decide to do something, great.
20:35For me, my decision, my journey was I breastfed.
20:38I felt, you know, comfortable in the way that I looked before.
20:41I didn't look that way once the milk dried up.
20:43And I made a choice.
20:45So it's just to make myself feel okay.
20:47And that's okay.
20:48Which, by the way, almost all of my girlfriends have had kids.
20:51Right.
20:52It's a really, really, really common thing.
20:54I do worry about Carmen.
20:55She's a tween.
20:56Anytime I do something that is in the realm of vanity, I don't want them to feel that they have to be a certain way.
21:05And I want to try to protect Carmen.
21:08Because I've experienced a lot of self-doubt and listened to the criticism more than I should have listened to it from opinions and certain types of media.
21:19I'm going to wet my hair first.
21:21Please wait.
21:22Listen, if you don't turn on a lot, it starts to, like, scream at you in my water.
21:25I tried to have somebody fix it, but see?
21:27There it is.
21:28That's the faucet?
21:29Mm-hmm.
21:32That's ridiculous.
21:33I know.
21:34And the fact that they tell me that the only thing they can do is wait more time.
21:38And I've been, I'm so patient.
21:39I've been waiting years.
21:43It sounds like...
21:44And it's the cold one, too.
21:45It's like when you brush your teeth, that's what happens.
21:46It sounds like at, like, a Broadway show as the orchestra is, like, warming up.
21:49And they said, you just need to wait and it will stop doing it.
21:54And I've been waiting for a couple years and it's still doing it.
21:57It's so freaking annoying.
21:58I know.
22:00It's like, that's as much water as you can use right now.
22:03You're done.
22:04Oh, my God.
22:05You need, like, a doctorate in this.
22:16You're running for a couple years.
22:17There's no secret.
22:18There's no secret.
22:19You're going to need to see me on the right one.
22:23Carmen loves creating her own recipes for skin care.
22:27She's always playing and making fun stuff made out of, like, orange juice and coffee.
22:30One cup of water, let it sit for 10 minutes, then put honey in it, and then put it on your face.
22:35Leave it on for 10 minutes.
22:37As I was watching my daughter play and do and this and that,
22:41I called up my agent and I said,
22:45I feel like Carmen has a book in her.
22:47We can write on this that all of these products have been tested on me.
22:50I had different like kids in the kitchen books growing up.
22:53What if we had something like that where she can share her ideas
22:57and stuff that she just does on her own and is natural.
23:00And so today's the day that we're going to do the photos for Carmen's book.
23:04Is it okay if I please do a little bit more concealer?
23:08Yes. Thanks.
23:09You're amazing.
23:11You're doing your own.
23:13Carmen now, I didn't see that coming actually.
23:16She didn't strike me as she was that girly girly, you know what I mean?
23:19Makeup and things like that in her hair.
23:21Was she so...
23:24They're like two hours in the mirror with her friends and they're going...
23:28I mean, I've worked with Hollywood actresses
23:30who are some of the most famous actresses in the world.
23:32They don't spend 45 minutes doing their lashes.
23:34Nor do their makeup artists.
23:36You know what I mean?
23:36It's like Carmen.
23:42So...
23:43Style.
23:43We're going kind of silhouette style.
23:45She's going to shoot from here.
23:46Okay, so Carmen, I want you to pull in your back knee up into your quad.
23:50Ready?
23:50What's a quad?
23:52Oh.
23:53Do you see parts of the obvious personality in Carmen?
23:57No.
23:58Yes, I do.
23:59Yeah, yeah, yeah.
24:00You don't hesitate to speak your mind.
24:03I don't.
24:03Yeah, you just say it.
24:04You're just...
24:05Boom!
24:06You just say what you want to say.
24:07But I do not act like mom at all.
24:09You don't?
24:10No.
24:11You go like this.
24:13Like a crane.
24:14Same pose.
24:15One, two, three, and same pose.
24:17We got it.
24:18That's beautiful.
24:20I'm nothing like her.
24:23Carmen, whatever you do,
24:25do not smile.
24:32Beautiful.
24:34I love that.
24:35That's a natural smile.
24:36Like, look at your mom.
24:37Yeah, cute.
24:38Very cute.
24:40And now just move your eyes to her.
24:43Beautiful.
24:43Okay.
24:44Thank you very much.
24:45It's the biggest ladder I have.
24:49I don't know if it's going to be big enough.
24:50And then the girl is like...
24:51But I'll try.
24:53The other day,
24:55Edu threw a toy spider on the roof,
24:57and I'm determined to find it.
24:59Nobody climb on this.
25:00You hear me?
25:01This is only for mommies.
25:03And for big boys.
25:04No.
25:05Only for mommies.
25:06Where is it?
25:07If Alec knew I were doing this,
25:09he'd insist on climbing up there by himself.
25:11Schmezz, you threw it up here, right?
25:13Like, I'm not making this up.
25:14And probably overanalyze it.
25:15So I need to make sure he's distracted.
25:17Maybe it's on the other side.
25:18I used to have to, like,
25:20wait until Alec left the house,
25:21but it's been amazing having a camera crew here
25:23because I can be like,
25:24hey, guys,
25:25go interview him about the history
25:27of the history of the history
25:29of the history
25:29of leaves falling off trees.
25:32I never was a coffee drinker when I was a kid.
25:34I never was a coffee drinker when I was in college.
25:37No Starbucks back then, none.
25:40It's 1976.
25:41That's right.
25:431976.
25:45Are you scared?
25:47Are you scared?
25:48No, I'm shaking
25:48because the whole ladder shakes.
25:50Look.
25:51Get a job in a soap opera.
25:53Got to be to work
25:53at 7 o'clock in the morning.
25:54Thus begins my coffee journey.
25:58It's a smaller ladder,
25:59but it's less likely to break.
26:03When I wound up making movies in the 90s,
26:04they always tell you,
26:05don't take a nap,
26:06don't go to sleep.
26:07I mean, every now and then I would.
26:09Okay, nada.
26:10Nada.
26:10Nothing.
26:12So weird.
26:14And Nicholson signs, like, you know,
26:1525 copies of the contract.
26:17Clothes the binder,
26:18looks at Kim and goes,
26:19I never have to work
26:20another day of my life.
26:22He's...
26:23Because he got, like,
26:25merchandising.
26:26Every Joker thing,
26:27he gets everything.
26:28Lunch pails,
26:29you know,
26:30backpacks,
26:31whatever all that shit.
26:32Mom?
26:33Yes?
26:34I want a snack.
26:35I know you want a snack.
26:36I'll be right there.
26:37Bob De Niro came to this house.
26:39He says,
26:40you have a beer?
26:41A beer?
26:42I look and I go,
26:43I only have rolling muck.
26:44And he goes,
26:45oh,
26:45rolling muck.
26:46I don't have
26:49Robert De Niro's brand
26:51of beer in my refrigerator,
26:52so the meeting's over.
26:54Want a snack?
26:55Okay,
26:55I'll get you a snack.
26:56One second.
26:56Baby?
26:57No,
26:57no.
26:58Hey,
26:58son of a...
26:59We had a pot
27:00of coffee
27:01we call the Eternal Pot.
27:03It was, like,
27:04the Eternal Flame
27:05in Arlington.
27:06It was never off.
27:08Mama,
27:09you missed it.
27:10What?
27:10I see it.
27:12Where?
27:13Point the camera up.
27:15You see it?
27:16Oh, my God,
27:17it's there!
27:19Stop.
27:20Okay.
27:22Give it to me.
27:26Campioners.
27:28And now we can
27:29sleep at night.
27:30This little
27:31Mr. Coffee pot,
27:32you have the basket
27:32with the filter in it
27:33and the product
27:34and the little stem.
27:36It was, like,
27:36about that long.
27:38It would let the water
27:38out very slowly.
27:39I remember,
27:40like,
27:40it was yesterday,
27:41going,
27:41boop.
27:42Did you find it?
27:43Yeah.
27:43Where was it?
27:44I, I, I...
27:45He found it.
27:46He found it.
27:46Wait a second,
27:47where?
27:47He found the boop.
27:48Can I,
27:49wait,
27:49can I show you something?
27:49Because I took film.
27:50Look.
27:51Because this is the only
27:52way I could see it.
27:52This side,
27:53look,
27:54it's so dirty.
27:55It needs to be cleaned out.
27:56Yeah,
27:56I'll go up there
27:56with a blower.
27:57I'll, I'll get up there
27:57and I'll do it.
27:59With the blower.
27:59You will not get up there
28:00and do that.
28:01That would be, like,
28:01literally the worst thing.
28:02Wait, wait, wait.
28:03Mom says you're too big.
28:04I did not say that.
28:05Yeah, Mom.
28:05I said he can't go
28:06on a ladder
28:07because he has,
28:08because I'm afraid
28:09with his hips
28:10and stuff like that.
28:11I was telling you
28:11a wonderful story
28:12about coffee.
28:13Let's pause
28:13to make clear
28:14that I'm old and fat.
28:15Hold on, hold on.
28:16Can we go back?
28:16No, please go.
28:17Can we go back?
28:18Okay, nobody ever said that.
28:19Just wanted you to know.
28:26I'm going with Emily
28:39and we're going
28:39to get our lashes done.
28:41Emily's going to get
28:41the lashes done.
28:42Isn't that cool?
28:44Yeah.
28:44Yeah.
28:45Love you.
28:46Love you.
28:47Bye.
28:47Love you guys.
28:48Behave yourselves.
28:48Bye.
28:50I'm so excited.
28:52So exciting.
28:54I feel like we haven't
28:54done, like,
28:55a girly thing together
28:55forever.
28:56I know.
28:56I know.
28:57This is, like,
28:57the first of many.
28:58I know.
28:58Alec is going to be
28:58so jealous.
29:00I love spending time
29:01with Elaria
29:02because Elaria
29:03is someone
29:04who can be
29:05an incredible mom
29:06and an equally
29:07incredible friend
29:08at the same time.
29:09It has become
29:10a much stronger
29:12emotional bond
29:13than I ever
29:13could have imagined.
29:14When people
29:15ask me
29:16if I run
29:16his Instagram,
29:17I get so offended.
29:19I'm like,
29:20are you kidding me?
29:22Like, listen,
29:23I would not
29:24let his Instagram
29:25look like that.
29:27Alec's Instagram
29:27tells you everything
29:28you need to know
29:29about him.
29:30He really is
29:30just, again,
29:32that dad-grandpa figure
29:33that just posts
29:34on Instagram
29:35things that they
29:35just genuinely enjoy.
29:37He'll like
29:37his own posts, too.
29:38Like, you need
29:39to stop doing that.
29:40It's not cool.
29:41Don't like your own posts.
29:43Emily is so funny
29:46and she just gets
29:48you through anything.
29:49When you dressed
29:50up like Alec,
29:51that was the funniest,
29:52the funniest,
29:53funniest thing.
29:54And I can't believe
29:54it actually worked.
29:55No, it worked.
29:56That's the best part.
29:57One day,
29:58we had a lot
30:00of paparazzi
30:01swarming their apartment
30:02and Elaria was trying
30:04to leave for a dinner
30:05and Alec actually
30:07wasn't even there.
30:08She dressed up
30:08like Alec
30:09to get me out
30:10of the house.
30:10And it's not
30:12a job requirement
30:12but I just so happened
30:13to be around his height,
30:14around six feet.
30:15And so it was wintertime,
30:17which was great.
30:18So we just layered
30:19on a few sweaters
30:21and then his peacoat
30:22on top
30:23and we added a scarf
30:24and obviously covered
30:24my head.
30:25So all I did
30:26was just walk
30:27across the lobby
30:28and we saw
30:28all the cameras flashing
30:29and everybody yelling,
30:31Alec, Alec,
30:31how are you?
30:32And then Elaria
30:33was able at that point
30:34to sneak out
30:35of a side entrance.
30:36To this day,
30:36it was one of the best
30:37heists we've ever
30:38pulled off.
30:39Then you like
30:40took off the coat
30:41and you just like
30:41walked out as yourself.
30:42Yep.
30:42Okay, that's it.
30:43I like walked through
30:44and I just gave them
30:45to the doorman
30:46and they were like,
30:47oh, okay, thank you.
30:48We were dying laughing
30:49and just to have
30:50those moments
30:51through such chaos
30:53of just like,
30:54you know,
30:55laughing and just
30:56taking a moment
30:57and finding the calm.
30:58You know,
30:59I don't know if it was calm
30:59but it was definitely,
31:01it was definitely funny.
31:02Elaria and I
31:03definitely get into
31:04a lot of shenanigans
31:05but it's for the best,
31:06I promise.
31:07Do you think Alec
31:08would actually
31:08ever quit acting?
31:10No.
31:12Good to know.
31:13Well, that's one
31:14of the things
31:14I've learned
31:15with him as well
31:16is like, you know,
31:16because he's an artist,
31:18because he's so
31:19passionate about things,
31:21he feels things
31:21very strongly in the moment.
31:23Oh, yeah.
31:24And it doesn't necessarily
31:25mean that he's going
31:25to feel the same thing
31:26strongly 10 minutes later.
31:28Yep.
31:28And so, you know,
31:29something is this
31:30and then something
31:31is that just took me
31:32a little bit of
31:32understanding the way
31:33that he thinks.
31:34Yeah.
31:35To be able to,
31:36you know,
31:36kind of go from that.
31:37Okay, let me see.
31:38Wow, wow, wow.
31:40Alec has his moments
31:42of like,
31:42I don't know
31:42if I should go back
31:43and understandably so.
31:45Oh my God, love.
31:47But Alec
31:48would never walk away
31:49from acting.
31:50He loves it so much.
31:51It's the connection.
31:53He just loves
31:54to connect with people
31:55and I don't think
31:55he'll ever stop.
31:56Nice lashes.
31:57That's why
31:58when he's working
31:59with a crew of people,
32:00he wants to go talk
32:00to everybody.
32:01If I have anything
32:02to do with it,
32:02I don't care if he's,
32:04you know,
32:04making movies
32:04or plays or anything,
32:05but I want him
32:06to feel that connection
32:07because it makes him happy.
32:08I love it.
32:09I love it.
32:10That's very curly
32:11for what I'm used to.
32:13Trust me.
32:15I love it.
32:16It looks great.
32:17Okay, first girly thing
32:18we've done together.
32:19I know, check.
32:20And we'll show up
32:21on time to dinner.
32:22Yeah, against all odds.
32:23With amazing lashes.
32:25That's so nice though.
32:26Look at that.
32:27That was so good.
32:28Thank you so much.
32:30Alec is going to be so jealous.
32:38It's a romantic date
32:39and I'm driving.
32:40I'm driving.
32:40I'm driving.
32:41I'm driving.
32:42I am driving.
32:44It's called fair.
32:47There's poop on your car.
32:49So glad you washed it.
32:51I got to get some car cleaner.
32:55I'm not kidding.
32:56How do you think it's hot?
32:56There's turkey poop
32:57on your car.
32:58What?
32:59Turkey poop.
32:59The turkeys go through
33:00the fence here.
33:01See that?
33:01There's a hole in the fence
33:02where they fly over the fence.
33:04Then they find,
33:05there's a way.
33:06There's a hole in the ground.
33:07There has to be a way.
33:07A mole or something?
33:08A mole.
33:09A mole made a hole.
33:10I saw the turkey
33:11and I saw it with,
33:12I assume my mom and my dad,
33:13two adult turkeys
33:14and like a ton,
33:16a ton,
33:17a ton of little baby turkeys
33:18and they were so cute.
33:19I took a film of them
33:20where you saw the kids
33:21and I saw turkey.
33:21I saw them in the same one.
33:22I took a film of it
33:23and I was like,
33:23maybe it's as many babies
33:25as we have
33:25because it was a lot of babies.
33:27Let's have seven turkey babies.
33:28Ten turkey babies.
33:29You see,
33:29let's notice that sometimes
33:30the two of us are talking
33:31at the same time
33:31or have been totally
33:32separate conversations
33:33and totally fine
33:34with the fact
33:34that neither one of us
33:35is acknowledging
33:36the other one's conversations.
33:37This is love, you know.
33:39This is marriage.
33:41Marriage.
33:41It is marriage.
33:44Okay, we have to slow down now.
33:46It is right here.
33:50Oh, no.
33:51This is not going to be fun.
33:52Want me to parallel park on camera?
33:55Hate that.
33:57Okay, you know what?
33:58You can hear me.
33:59This was a mean...
34:00I don't like parallel parking.
34:02You can do it now.
34:02Can I cut hard?
34:03Can I cut hard?
34:04I think that's too soon
34:05to cut hard.
34:05Don't hit her.
34:06I hate this.
34:07It's not a fun thing.
34:08This was back.
34:09Want me to park?
34:09No, you weren't.
34:10You guided me wrong
34:12in the parallel parking.
34:12I should have gone
34:13a little bit more.
34:14I thought it was back.
34:15What happened to romance?
34:16There's no more romance.
34:18There's no more romance.
34:19I quit.
34:21Here, here, here.
34:21This way.
34:22Hold on.
34:22Hold on.
34:23Hold on.
34:24Now we cut hard.
34:26Wait, is it too close
34:26in the front?
34:27No, you're fine.
34:27We're good.
34:27We're good.
34:28We're good.
34:28We're good.
34:29You know what?
34:29No, no.
34:30What's that cut?
34:30I'm good.
34:31No, I'm good.
34:31I see it.
34:32That's where I'm good.
34:32I'm good at the back of my car.
34:33You see it?
34:33I'm just not good at this part.
34:35Can I tell you something?
34:36I need to wear a helmet.
34:37I did it.
34:37Okay, I kind of did.
34:38You know what?
34:39Yes, I'm good.
34:40Perfect.
34:42How are you?
34:43Fine, thanks.
34:44Welcome back to the theater.
34:50Very welcome.
34:51Thank you so much.
34:52Thank you, Shane.
34:55I'm dying for a piece of pizza.
34:57Are you proud of me
34:58for parallel parking
34:59on the second trip?
35:00I am, I am, yeah.
35:02Normally, it takes you
35:02four tries.
35:05Oh, my God!
35:07Oh, my God!
35:08I want to say hi.
35:08I want to say hi to you two.
35:10Hi, Alec.
35:10How are you?
35:10Yeah, sorry about that.
35:11My wifey, Lauren.
35:11Hello, buddy.
35:12How are you?
35:12You and you...
35:13How are you?
35:14What happened?
35:15I had a little surgery.
35:16How did I make this?
35:17I'm home,
35:18and I would never say this to you.
35:20This happens all the time, obviously.
35:21I'm in the TV room,
35:23and Bronx Tale comes on,
35:25and you just keep watching it.
35:27Yeah.
35:27You don't stop.
35:28You have to.
35:28I know.
35:28It's one of those movies
35:29where once you sit down,
35:30you're going to watch that movie.
35:31Yeah, it went down great.
35:32And what are you doing now?
35:33Now I'm...
35:34I take July and August off.
35:36Me too.
35:36It's good to see you.
35:37It's good to see you, buddy.
35:38God bless you,
35:39and I'm happy to hear you.
35:40Yeah, yeah.
35:41It all went great.
35:42God bless you.
35:43All right.
35:43Nice to see you.
35:44Feel better.
35:45I'll see you.
35:45Thanks, Chaz.
35:47I am starting to appreciate
35:49that the weight has lifted.
35:51I think that if you carry something
35:53for a long time,
35:53when that gets
35:55taken away in some manner,
35:59I mean, it's always going to be awful.
36:00It's always going to be awful.
36:02Something awful happened.
36:04But I am starting to realize
36:07Alec and I can start to live in a way
36:11where you don't have to feel it all the time.
36:15One of the things that I sort of struggle with
36:18is how are we going to heal
36:21from a lot of the, you know,
36:24crazy things that we've experienced.
36:26I'm so beat up from what happened
36:28that to go on after that
36:29and be really, really
36:30super bitter and angry,
36:34I don't have the space for that in my life.
36:37I don't.
36:37I notice a difference in the kids, too.
36:39Do you notice a difference in the kids?
36:40Yeah.
36:41They used to ask me more about it
36:43and they're kind of, like, worried.
36:44But I think I've noticed a difference
36:46with the kids,
36:47that they seem much more calm.
36:49These kids,
36:50they put up with a lot.
36:52And they've learned to be very resilient.
36:54I hope for them.
36:56The kids talked about the case in the car today.
36:58Really?
36:59Yes.
37:00But that's the crazy thing about kids, too.
37:02We think that they haven't been paying attention.
37:04Kids don't know things.
37:05But actually, they know way more
37:07and then they have to process it.
37:09But I always think it's better
37:10when they actually come out and say it.
37:13Your kids pick up on things
37:14more than you realize.
37:17I didn't realize how much
37:18they picked up on this whole thing.
37:19I didn't.
37:20Carmen and Ralph,
37:21and the two of them were more aware.
37:23But with the kids,
37:25I've never been through anything like this
37:26in my entire life.
37:28I think this is very interesting,
37:30at least it is to me,
37:30which is something you don't think about that often.
37:32And then you don't think about it at all, actually,
37:34and you kind of discover this
37:35in light of what has been going on.
37:38I was on movie sets and TV sets
37:40once I started to feel my way around that.
37:43I wasn't the biggest movie star.
37:45I wasn't the greatest actor.
37:47Once I felt I had something to share,
37:50sets and stages
37:52and rehearsal rooms
37:54and Broadway and movies,
37:55that was home.
37:57That was home.
37:58My home wasn't my home.
38:01My first marriage,
38:02that wasn't my home.
38:03I did not feel that home.
38:05And I realize now,
38:08not only do I not want that to be home,
38:10it can't be home.
38:12What can't be home?
38:13Sets and stages.
38:14What do you like about acting?
38:16I like the challenge.
38:19If you have a tough piece of material,
38:21like a play,
38:21even something funny,
38:25making that journey is fun.
38:28And if it's a drama,
38:30it's not as much fun,
38:31but it's challenging.
38:34You go through your life
38:35and you're on a path
38:36and there's an inevitability to it.
38:39This is your life
38:40and it's going along.
38:41And when someone reaches in
38:42and they turn the car off
38:43and take the keys
38:44and you weren't planning on that,
38:45it's very abrupt.
38:47But the one benefit of it,
38:49I think,
38:50the one silver lining to it
38:53is now you can change directions
38:55if you want to.
38:56And so for me,
38:57what am I going to do that works?
38:59One of my hopes for you
38:59is that you can embrace
39:01and feel okay
39:03with loving acting.
39:04And with all the stuff
39:05that we've been through
39:06over the past four years,
39:08it's so easier
39:08to reject something first,
39:10but then you're also rejecting
39:12something in yourself
39:13that really loves to do it.
39:14And I've seen you
39:15on so many different sets
39:16from 30 Rock
39:17to different movies
39:18that you've done
39:18to SNL.
39:19SNL is done.
39:21Alec loves to work so much.
39:23When he gets together
39:24with other actors,
39:26it's like he's just
39:28lights up.
39:30I hope that he will
39:31get back to work.
39:32I just think that he feels
39:34scared.
39:36He loves his family
39:37and he is an actor.
39:40It's a balance
39:40that he struggles with
39:42and I think that is
39:44another element of
39:45I'm going to pull myself in.
39:48I just want to
39:49take care of my kids.
39:54And you know what?
39:55Sometimes the best way
39:56to take care of the kids
39:57is to take care
39:59of yourself
39:59with acting.
40:02There's been so many
40:03fun experiences
40:03you have had
40:04and I hope that you
40:06can stay soft
40:07and stay fun
40:08and stay free.
40:09I don't know.
40:09I'll say it.
40:10I've done it for a while now
40:11and I'm not going to
40:11let it define me,
40:12but I like being home.
40:15You know,
40:15you don't have to choose.
40:18It can be both.
40:20I'm happy here
40:21and I'm happy there.
40:23This is part of my identity
40:25and this is part of my identity.
40:27It doesn't have to be so,
40:28you know,
40:29hyper-focused
40:29because then it allows you
40:30to, you know,
40:31have both of your places
40:33together at the same time.
40:34I don't know.
40:35I don't necessarily
40:36want to go back.
40:40I heard it was
40:41someone's birthday.
40:43Yay!
40:44It's been a wild summer.
40:46Close your eyes.
40:48Watching somebody else
40:49do yoga is like-
40:50Is my favorite.
40:51Is literally not the same
40:52as doing yoga.
40:54I'll never forget
40:55the summer.
40:55It's been very, very tough.
40:57We lived for so long
40:58with this tremendous
41:00amount of stress
41:01and it's going to
41:01take us a while
41:02to learn what
41:04the new normal is.
41:07Are you excited
41:09to go back to school?
41:10No.
41:11For the first time
41:12I have six kids in school.
41:14Can we go now?
41:18Alec is going to do SNL.
41:20Alec Baldwin is back.
41:21Cheers.
41:24Whenever I need
41:25some affirmations
41:26about this life
41:27my answer is always
41:28have a baby.
