Alec Baldwin wants to be doting father this time

Los Angeles: Actor Alec Baldwin says he couldn`t give much time and attention to his first daughter, but now he wants to be a very doting father. Baldwin had his first child with ex-wife Kim Basinger. His present wife Hilaria Thomas is now expecting their first child. The actor says he will fulfill his duties, which he could not earlier because of the divorce with Basinger. "The only thing that I regret was that I missed so much of my daughter`s childhood because of this contentious situation. And that wasn`t at all what I wanted. So I find that now I have another chance," Hollywood Reporter quoted Baldwin as saying. The 55-year-old wants to keep his wife and their child away from the limelight. "I have my daughter coming and my wife, and I just want to get as far away from that (fame) as possible," he said. IANS
