Did anyone watch the interview with Daniel Baldwin? He was talking about his problems with cocaine addiction. He came off as being really arrogant at times during the interview. And to think I used to like his character on "Homicide - Life On The Streets".

I didn't see the special, but it doesn't surprise me that he would have an attitude problem. Look who his older brother is!! :eek: :mad:

I didn't see him as being arrogant. I felt as if he made this image of a tough attitude guy, knowing deep inside he was weak, he had an addiction and since he had this addiction for years, he needed a persona, especially being in the public eye.

You'd be surprised how many people with alcohol and/or drug issues have an "attitude". It sometimes comes with the territory. They are also delusional, they are paranoid, there are just too many things that are part of a person's attitude/personality when they become drug/alcohol addicts.

I applaud him and his family for showing us this personal side of him. Though, some of us had already seen him on Celebrity Fit Club where he was not sober enough to compete. We seen him have a downfall on that show. I am glad that he has taken the steps to regain sobriety not only for himself, but for his children.

Are any of the Baldwin brothers normal? It seems they all have issues.

They're all actors. That is enough for you to have "issues".

I don't consider addiction an "issue". It is a serious problem that needs professional help.

The only one who doesn't seem angry or bitter is Stephen (from what I've seen on TV). I can only imagine the debates he must have with his brothers given that Stephen is a Republican and a GWB supporter. :eek:
