ALEC BALDWIN could be the next US actor to enter politics, after saying he was giving “serious thought” to running for Congress.
The film and TV star told Playboy magazine that the desire to run for office was there, but added that he would have to wait for the right opportunity.
Baldwin denied speculation that he was preparing to run against former vice- presidential candidate Joe Lieberman.
The 51-year-old actor is well known for his political activism. The Democrat has often clashed with right-wing commentators such as Fox News’s Bill O’Reilly.
Asked if he wanted to take his political involvement one step further and run for office, Baldwin replied: “The desire is there; that’s one component. The other component is opportunity.”
He added that he would love to run against Mr Lieberman, but added that, at this stage, it was “all fantasy”.
