Alec Baldwin credits 30 Rock for his style
Alec Baldwin credits '30 Rock' for his style.
The 66-year-old actor played TV executive Jack Donaghy on the sitcom for seven years and revealed he managed to keep most of his alter-ego's stylish wardrobe.
He told WWD: "I was in a suit and tie every day for seven years. Tom Broecker was our wardrobe designer as well as for 'SNL' for years. Thanks to him, I probably have 200 suits, 300 shirts from Zegna, Brooks Brothers and others.
"I wore a suit and tie at work and at the end of the day, in my wardrobe, I would meet friends at a Manhattan restaurant dressed pretty well. I got hooked."
However, Alec admitted his style changed when the show ended.
He said: "When the show ended, I started dressing like I was coming to your house to clean your pool and I wanted to get dressed again and wear the uniform of the Chinese Communist Party."
Yet, Alec still loves to get dressed up and is a big fan of Savile Row's Douglas Hayward, which he discovered when he was shooting in Belfast, Northern Ireland, many years ago.
He said: "It was a little cooler than I thought up there in the spring. They’ve got one men’s shop and they had this wonderful jacket — it was Douglas Hayward. It was beautiful."
Now, Alec is helping Arnold Brant Silverstone and his partners launch the brand in America, although he joked he could be replaced by a more stylish celebrity.
He quipped: "It’ll be Christian Bale soon."
