Alec Baldwin says he wants his children to grow up with hope and resilience

Alec Baldwin, 68, says one of his biggest wishes for his seven children is that they grow up with hope and a fighting spirit. In comments reported by Times of India, he frames fatherhood as preparing his children to confront wrongdoing in society and to maintain resilience in difficult times. Baldwin also says he wants them to understand the responsibility that comes with leadership or influence, emphasizing that power should be handled in a way that does not enable abuse. He describes his approach as encouraging perseverance and teaching his children to keep pushing forward, rather than giving in to challenging circumstances. Baldwin’s remarks also include a lighthearted moment: he jokes that he wants his children to be strong enough to push his wheelchair someday. The statements reflect his view that passing on values—such as hope, responsibility, and the willingness to keep fighting—is part of his role as a parent.
