Alec Baldwin: Kim Basinger “One of Most Beautiful Women" Ever [VIDEO]
Alec Baldwin recently told Access Hollywood in an interview that he thought his ex-wife Kim Basinger is "one of the most beautiful women that ever lived."
The two were a celebrity couple in the 90s and divorced in 2002 with a much-publicized court battle in which they fought for custody of their daughter Ireland, now a 17-year-old model.
The former couple have put their differences aside now and Baldwin said even their divorce did not "muddy" his affection for the actress.
Oscar winner Basinger, 59, a former model herself, is a great role model for their daughter, the 30 Rock star said.
"The good news is my daughter is someone who somewhat understands . . . It's hard at that age to have that wisdom that beauty comes and goes," Baldwin said.
Baldwin said he is not worried about any potential obstacles Ireland may encounter because he believes his daughter has what it takes to be successful.
Baldwin, 55, is now wed to wife Hilaria, a 28-year-old yoga instructor, and the two are expecting their first child together.

Baldwin stars in the upcoming Woody Allen film Blue Jasmine.
The plot revolves around Cate Blanchett's character, Jasmine, who goes from a New York socialite to a woman down-and-out alcoholic living with her sister, played by Sally Hawkins, in San Francisco after Jasmine's husband, played by Baldwin, is arrested for fraud.
Bobby Cannavale (The Station Agent), Andrew Dice Clay, Peter Sarsgaard (The Killing, Boys Don't Cry), Max Casella (Inside Llewyn Davis, Boardwalk Empire) and Michael Stuhlbarg (A Serious Man) all co-star.
