Kicking off his big day with a breakfast date, Alec Baldwin took his wife Hilaria Baldwin out in New York City this morning (4/3/2013).

The “30 Rock” stud, who turns 55 today, looked pleasant and stopped to admire a cute baby on his way to grab a delicious meal.


Meanwhile, Alec was the topic of conversation earlier this week when his “Orphans” ex-co-star Shia LaBeouf explained his firing to David Letterman on “The Late Show.”

Letterman asked LaBeouf, “Why did you get fired? What did you do to [Alec]?” Shia replied, “He’s a good due and the show is terrific. I got nothing bad to say.”

As for the ‘creative differences’ explanation that was previously cited, Shia noted, "I think that's what you gotta say as sort of a business-savvy answer for what actually happened. Me and Alec had tension as men. Not as artists, but as men. In a room, that became hard to deal with."

Finally, Mr. LaBeouf looked into the camera and declared, "Alec, I think you're awesome man."
