These days, Alec Baldwin is a mega-star.
Baldwin somehow had even loftier ambitions than becoming an actor.
Instead, he wanted to be president of the United States.
“I did three years full-time.
I did all my requirements and my senior year was really a gut year.
And I said, law school will always be there.
“I wanted to be president of the United States.
But I have always wanted to try acting.
I had acted in high school a couple of times.
So, Baldwin did what any aspiring actor would do: He moved to New York.
I was so desperate,” Baldwin explained toInterview.
In addition to limo driving and lifeguarding, Baldwin waited tables for two months at the famed Studio 54.
As a handsome young man, Baldwin attracted a lot of attention at Studio 54 especially from men.
“Well-heeled gay men would go up to the balcony and ‘discuss things,'” he said.
And they’d say, ‘Well, keep the change.’
I was a very popular ‘cigarette snatcher’ in the balcony.”
Now that Baldwin’s conquered Hollywood, does that mean he’ll be revisiting his political ambitions?
