‘I just want to be a father to my kids’: Alec Baldwin addresses older dad criticism as couple hits back at trolls with puppet video

Alec Baldwin and his wife Hilaria Baldwin have responded to online critics through a playful recreation of a viral meme that portrayed her as controlling in their relationship. The couple took to Instagram to address these claims in a lighthearted manner, showing they can take such criticism in stride.

The video, shared by Hilaria Baldwin on Sunday, features the 41-year-old standing on a chair while wearing a green dress, wielding wooden spoons as makeshift puppet controls. Below her, Alec Baldwin plays along by acting like a marionette, moving as if being controlled by strings. The performance was set to the iconic song “When You Wish Upon a Star” from Disney’s 1940 film Pinocchio.
