Alec Baldwin blasted for Sam Neill tribute that barely mentions late ‘Hunt for Red October’ co-star
Alec Baldwin is facing backlash over his bizarre tribute to late “The Hunt for Red October” co-star Sam Neill. Baldwin, 68, shared a nearly 3-minute Instagram video Monday after the “Jurassic Park” actor died at 78 earlier that day, but he only mentioned Neill in the first 10 seconds and final 5 seconds of the clip.

I doubt after the movie they ever really spoke because Sam seamed likeable and wouldn't surround himself with such a narcissistic person like Alec
People are always crapping their diaper over something. Its fine. Its just not as soapy a response as people expect
Wow. I feel his pain. Lol😂.
Strange guy
Baldwin's as much a degenerate as he portrays Trump to be. It's ALL about Alec Baldwin…..what a khunte…
The bar is low. I’m glad he didn’t shoot anyone
"Alec Baldwin blasted for Sam Neil tribute"? That title is a very poor choice of words Page Six. Shame on you too.
How utterly selfish and a true indictment of Alec Baldwin, the real person. Shameful ! You made your eulogy for Sam all about you!😂
Alec Baldwin.. don’t like the guy
Nothing wrong with this. He at least made a video to give his condolences online. Plain & simple.
I forgot alec Baldwin was still alive…..and that's probably for the best
Foool
Thought it was suppose to be about Sam?????
Alec Baldwin is a textbook narcissist.
So did you even know Sam Neil?
Kids…. Don’t do drugs 😂
It was baffling
I'll give him a pass on the grounds of distraction and humour… but it is a funny eulogy. Sam would smile I think.
Did he even mention Sam Neil?
"I would like to have seen Montana."
He’s washed up. Time to stop using certain drugs at that age. Also, Google which great actor just passed away every 10 seconds or so, so you don’t forget who you should talk about.
Take 'fake' guns away from him!!! He'll point it at ANYONE within eyeline (and pull the trigger) as he's 'practicing his lines'. Guess can't use his imagination and his hand as a gun?
He looks 80.
The most disgusting tribute I’ve ever heard about a great actor from a ‘b’ movie actor!
Maybe Alec's played Trump too many times on SNL? This was so Trumpian… rambling, barely coherent, just randomly listing names, totally off topic, and mostly about himself.
What the heck was that about? Sam Neill deserves better. That was NOT a tribute to him at all.
Wow, such a moving tribute. So nice to let us into the intricacies of his closeness to Sam, the bond they shared. Oh, and all those witty, moving anecdotes…….
Whats with the hate? 😂
Maybe mention to Alex that if you're making a tribute to someone, that you need to mostly talk about the person you're making a tribute to.
Starting to understand why they tagged him to play Trump
According to Baldwin, I suppose you are only great if you take a shot at someone,,,, literally.
Wait, so… Is he eulogizing Sam Neill or The Hunt for Red October here? Really weird.
