David Duchovny Dubs Alec Baldwin a ‘Biblical Figure’ for Having a Baby and Grandchild in the Same Year

Alec Baldwin is embracing a new moniker.

As a guest on the Monday, Dec. 16 episode of David Duchovny’s podcast Fail Better, the X-Files star, 64, asked Alec, 66, about his life at home as a dad to eight children — daughters Ilaria Catalina Irena, 2, María Lucía Victoria, 3, Carmen Gabriela, 11, and sons Eduardo “Edu” Pao Lucas, 4. Romeo Alejandro David, 6,  Leonardo Ángel Charles, 7, and Rafael Thomas, 9, with wife Hilaria Baldwin, as well as  Ireland Baldwin, 29, with ex-wife Kim Basinger.

“You’re like a biblical figure,” Duchovny told Alec of his unique experience of becoming a dad and grandad in the same year. For his part, the ’30 Rock’ alum embraced the title with pride.

“I’m gonna take that from you — I’m gonna say Duchovny said it best,” he exclaimed. “I’m a biblical character. I’m gonna quote you, man. I love that. That’s perfect.”

Hilaria hilariously replied, “I made you feet and legs. It was hard. Use them.”
