Alec Baldwin Isn’t Shy About His Crush On Barbra Streisand

In the black-and-white video posted to Instagram, Barbra Streisand performed her song from the ’60s called “Lover, Come Back to Me.” While it may have been easy for folks who happened upon the video to miss Alec Baldwin’s lovestruck comment, it was reposted to the Instagram account Comments by Celebs for all to see. There, Baldwin’s comment gained over 20,000 likes and nearly 200 comments in just a few days. Many of these comments were bashing Baldwin.

“Very weird comment when he has a wife,” one Instagram user asserted. Many others also mentioned how Baldwin’s statement might affect his wife, Hilaria, who he married in 2012 and with whom he has seven children. Plenty of comments on the post poked fun at the scandal surrounding Hilaria being misleading about her heritage with jokes like, “Hilaria uncovers her Jewish heritage when?” Others simply echoed Baldwin’s sentiment. One wrote, “He’s not wrong about this one tho.” Baldwin has since deleted his comment. 

Celebrity crushes are one thing, but since Baldwin actually does know Streisand in real life, it puts a bit of a different twist on his statement. Furthermore, in 2018, he told The Hollywood Reporter, “I met a handful of people who what you think they are in a fantasy is fulfilled when you meet them.” According to him, this was true of Streisand. “When you meet her, you’re like, ‘Oh, my God. She’s so incredible,’” he explained.
