Alec Baldwin and his wife Hilaria have poked fun at claims she is too controlling by recreating a meme depicting her as a puppetmaster pulling on her husband’s strings. In a cheeky Instagram post on Sunday, the 41-year-old shared a video of herself standing on a chair wearing a green dress reminiscent of the meme, holding a set of wooden spoons mimicking puppet controls while Alec dangles helplessly like a marionette below. “Well, you guys gave me the idea. I just HAD to try it out 🥰,” she captioned the video, which was soundtracked to When You Wish Upon a Star from Disney’s 1940 classic Pinocchio. The incident is not the first time the Baldwins have responded to criticism about their married life—in a recent episode of their reality show The Baldwins, 71-year-old Alec opened up about how he copes with being an “older dad” to the couple’s seven children. “And for me, as I’m getting older and older, and I don’t want to be tougher. I don’t want to be anything. I just want to be a father to my kids,” he explained on the TLC show. “I want to just watch and see what the years I have left for us to experience and not have it be about me.”
