Alec Baldwin does not manage to control his temperament.

Over the years, the actor has become known for both his comic behavior and his unstable behavior. Friday, he still showed his burnt side when he was arrested for punch in the face of a man in New York, apparently as a result of a dispute over a parking lot.

Here's a glimpse of Baldwin's most memorable moments that earned him his not-so-brilliant reputation.

The 1995 cameraman's punch

In October 1995, Alec Baldwin was placed under arrest by a citizen after allegedly hitting a photographer in the face, according to the Los Angeles Times. Baldwin said at the time that he was trying to protect his then-born Irish daughter from paparazzi.

In a statement shared with the newspaper, Baldwin said: "Anyone with a hint of human decency would understand that there are times in your life where you want your privacy to be respected … I believe that bringing your 3 day old baby woman to the hospital home is one of those occasions. "He continued," I'm sorry for all the problems caused and I'm not sure. I can not wait (the photographer) Mr. Zanger and I to leave this behind us. "

The incident was the first of several clashes between Baldwin and photographers. Since then, he braved and / or shouted against the photographers he felt were too close to him and his family, in 2012, 2013 (see details below) and in 2016.

The "piggy" voicemail of 2007

In April 2007, Baldwin was heard on a voicemail message, insulting his ex-wife Kim Basinger and calling his 11-year-old Irish daughter a "coarse and thoughtless little pig."

The actor apologized for the message and Ireland took it in reaction to his father's frustration over the battle for his guard against his mother.

Eight years later, Baldwin was able to joke about the incident in Ireland, who had posted a photo of them reading a book titled "If I were a pig …" "

The incident of 2011 "Words with friends"

In December 2011, Baldwin had been launched into an American Airlines flight after provoking a scene when he had refused to stop playing the Scrabble style game "Words with Friends".

According to a Facebook airline publication, Baldwin acted aggressively when he was asked to turn off his phone on board. The airline said it had been fired from the flight after "slamming the bathroom door so hard that the cockpit crew heard and alarmed it".

"I never intended to bother anyone with my" problem "with a flight attendant," wrote Baldwin later in an article published by The Huffington Post. "The lesson I learned is to keep my phone off when the 1950s gym teacher is on duty."

2013 tweets of the "little toxic queen"

In June 2013, the star of "Glengarry Glen Ross" went to Twitter to defend his wife, Hilaria, accused of tweeting at the funeral of James Gandolfini.

"Someone wrote that my wife had tweeted at a funeral. Hey. This is not true. But I'm going to tweet at your funeral … little toxic, "Baldwin wrote in a very busy speech intended for MailOnline's writer, George Clark Clark had already commented that Hilaria's Twitter account shared messages optimistic while the mourners were in the church.

This was only one of Baldwin's many incursions on Twitter. The star has disabled his account several times over the years, but he always comes back for more.

The anti-gay speech of 2013

In November 2013, Baldwin was filmed on a tape shouting a homophobic insult to a photographer.

Although Baldwin apologized on Twitter and claimed he had never published a universal epithet, Anderson Cooper was not convinced that Baldwin was sorry.

At the time of the incident, Baldwin had broadcast a show on MSNBC entitled "Up Late With Alec Baldwin". The show was removed from the air for two weeks. Later, MSNBC completely canceled the show.

Baldwin wrote in another Huffington Post editorial: "Two requests. Do not let my problem be that of MSNBC. They are good people who work hard at work, like many of you. And second, please respect the privacy of my wife and family.

The case of bad bike in 2014

In May 2014, Baldwin was arrested for cycling on Fifth Avenue.

Baldwin did not have his ID card with him when he was on horseback, so he received two criminal citations: one for traffic violations and the other for disorderly conduct. According to the police report, the impersonator of President Trump has "become belligerent" with the officers.

After the incident, Baldwin tweeted that New York City was "a mishandled carnival of foolishness, desperate for revenue and anxious to criminalize a behavior once considered benign."
