The Hollywood actor, 66, is gearing up for the release of his new TLC reality show The Baldwins, in which he appears alongside Hilaria, 41, and their huge brood - Carmen Gabriela, 11, Rafael Thomas, nine, Leonardo Angel Charles, eight, Romeo Alejandro David, six, Eduardo Pao Lucas, four, Maria Lucia Victoria, three, and Ilaria Catalina Irena, two.
Seizing the opportunity to ask his kids a question for himself, Alec joked: 'Who's the most gorgeous, beautiful, sexy, smoking hot one of your parents?'.
Alec Baldwin has come under fire after asking his children who is the 'sexier' parent - him or his wife Hilaria Baldwin.
'I know Alec thought that was funny but to ask your kids essentially which "parent is sexier" is like ICK to the 10th degree,' said another.
'But it was my family, my friends, my community who speak multiple languages, who have belonged in multiple places, and realize that we are a mix of all these different things and that is going to have an impact on how we sound and how we articulate things and the words that we choose and our mannerisms.
