Alec Baldwin Knew After a Week He Wanted to Ditch Rock of Ages
Alec Baldwin’s well-known for his comedy on shows like 30 Rock, but he should be equally famous for his sixth sense. In 2012, Baldwin joined Rock of Ages’ A-lister ensemble cast, which included Tom Cruise. The jukebox musical was a Broadway smash, but a Hollywood flop – and Baldwin called it a week in. Oh God, what have I done? he recalled thinking. He asked to be replaced “if possible,” but it didn’t work. Baldwin, who played nightclub owner Dennis Dupree, said he wanted to do the movie to work with Cruise and director Adam Shankman. Still, it ended up being “horrible” and a “complete disaster.”
