Alec Baldwin says he’s "not that angry" after attending anger management sessions.
The ‘Saturday Night Live’ star has been taking classes to help deal with his temper after he pleaded guilty in January to a charge of second-degree violation of harassment in relation to an incident that took place in November, when he was arrested after being accused of punching a man in a row over a parking space.
But following his classes, Alec says the one thing he’s learnt the most is that he actually doesn’t have a problem with his anger.
Speaking on Howard Stern’s SiriusXM show, Alec said: "When you go to anger management you realise you’re not that angry."
And the ‘Boss Baby’ star still maintains that he never punched the man over the row, whom he claims stole his parking space.
He added: "I just felt that what he did was impolite, bordering on dangerous."
Alec – who was also told by the judge at the time of his court case to pay $120 – was initially charged with attempted misdemeanor assault and violation-level harassment over the incident but his legal team and prosecutors agreed to the lesser charge in a plea deal.
Hours after his arrest, the 60-year-old actor – who has daughter Ireland, 23, with ex-wife Kim Basinger and Carmen, five, Rafael, three, Leonardo, two, and seven-month-old Romeo with spouse Hilaria – took to Twitter to refute the allegations against him.
He used his family foundation’s account to tweet: "Normally, I would not comment on something as egregiously misstated as today’s story.
"However, the assertion that I punched anyone over a parking spot is false.
"I wanted to go on the record stating as much.
"I realize that it has become a sport to tag people with as many negative charges and defaming allegations as possible for the purposes of clickbait entertainment.
"Fortunately, no matter how reverberating the echos, it doesn’t make the statements true. (sic)"
