Alec Baldwin‘s 12-year-old daughter Carmen roasted him Friday, as his big brood celebrated the actor’s 68th birthday.
“Hey, it’s me,” Baldwin said in a video that showed him with his kids on what appeared to be a blustery beach. “I’m 68 years old. What can I say? I’m 68. I’m 68 years old, but what a way to turn 68.”
He explained that his “favorite birthday before this was 40,”which would have been two years before he separated from ex-wife Kim Basinger, with whom he shares daughter Ireland, 30. Professionally, it was a year before Alec’s cameo playing Julia Roberts’ movie star boyfriend in Notting Hill.
When he said that 40 was “a while ago,” Carmen quipped that it was “a really long time ago.”

Alec found this funny and asked exactly how long ago it was.
“Um, so Mommy was 14?” Carmen said before breaking into a laugh.
In fact, Alec’s wife Hilaria Baldwin — whom he married in 2012 — is 42.
The couple have welcomed seven children together, also including Rafael, 10; Leonardo, 9; Romeo, 7; Eduardo, 5; María, 5; and 4-year-old Ilaria.
When Alec was roasted by Comedy Central in 2019, eldest daughter Ireland was one of the people who took the stage. She couldn’t let the event go by without referring to the infamous voicemail he left for her in 2007 in which he called her a “thoughtless little pig.”
She joked that Alec “wasn’t the kind of dad who would play catch, but he would throw things at me.”
Ireland has even given her dad a grill in the shape of a pig, the New York Times reported in August.

Meanwhile, the father-of-eight has commented on the 26-year age gap between him and his second wife.
“My goal wasn’t to marry a much younger woman,” he said on Rob Lowe’s Literally! podcast in September 2020. “I met a woman I fell in love with and she was a unique person.”
He said it Hilaria affected his parenting style.
“I come from a time, my dad was a very tough guy, and he would just look at you with that look,” he said, per Today. “We were terrified of my dad. He was a really tough guy. With me, my wife lectures me more than my children. My wife is like, ‘Don’t look at them like that, Alec! That look is not good.'”
