Alec Baldwin: I see why teen girls are thrown in volcanoes

Actor pokes fun at his 13-year-old daughter Ireland

Ireland is Alec Baldwin's child with ex-wife Kim Basinger

Alec Baldwin has joked that he could fling his daughter Ireland into a volcano.

The actor made the comments when he appeared on the Late Show With David Letterman.

‘My daughter is 13 and I see why, in these films, whenever they represent a Mayan culture, or any tribal culture, or a Hawaiian culture, they always throw a teenage girl into the volcano as a sacrifice,’ he said.

‘I kind of understand why. They [teenage girls] are very opinionated. Everyone always tells me “Oh it’s their hormones”, and I don’t really care. 

'They should be sent to some kind of Chinese re-education camp in the mountains for five years.’

Meanwhile, Alec has revealed he played a mean prank on Ireland, his daughter with ex-wife Kim Basinger, 55.

‘[My greatest regret was] faking a heart attack on April Fool’s Day 2004, for my daughter and my girlfriend,’ he tells Vanity Fair.

In April 2007, Alec issued a public apology after calling Ireland a ‘thoughtless little pig’.
