Alec Baldwin Reveals Who Was The Boss Baby in His Big Family

The four Baldwin brothers -- Alec, Daniel, William and Stephen -- famously grew up to become actors, and as Alec reflects on the family dynamics, he now realizes he held a special place at home, making him uniquely qualified to one day voice a movie called "The Boss Baby," an animated feature about a new arrival who instantly takes charge, much to his older brother's dismay.

"There was a lot of wrestling to be who would be the boss," Baldwin tells Made in Hollywood reporter Kylie Erica Mar. "But I think when you think about it, I really was the boss. I was the oldest son. I would say I was a benevolent dictator in my home as a child. I was a good king."

But as Baldwin thinks a little more about it, one brother did get special treatment -- and it wasn't him.

"My brother Stephen was the most loved by my mother," grouses Alec. "If any of us did anything we got punished, but Stephen never got punished. My brother Stephen would do something, he'd take a toy of ours, and use it and break it, and we'd go to get him for it and my mother would grab him and go, 'Don't you touch him!' And she would shield him and protect him."

Though, in truth, most days it was just a toss-up. "I had six kids in our family, so everybody took turns," he says.

In the movie "Boss Baby," Baldwin's very unusual little character arrives in to the home in a most unusual way -- in a taxi. He's wearing a suit and carrying a briefcase, and a sibling rivalry erupts with his 7-year-old brother Tim, the movie's narrator, voiced by Tobey Maguire. But Tim soon finds there's a lot more to the tyke than he first imagined.

"The message of the film is that love conquers all," says Baldwin. "Although Boss Baby comes in and he's got his agenda and he's very pushy and he's very aggressive and he's very disruptive, he and Tim become a family."
