He admitted that he had confused for a while when I snuck in here disguised as billionaire and co-starred in his role for the first time. According to Alec, he puffed out his lips, raised his eyebrows and put on a wig, amazed at how everything that happens in the dressing room immediately changed and began to resemble “a scene in a psychiatric hospital”. “Now I should probably confess to the audience that worked on this (parody trump — approx. TASS) for months,” he added.
The contractor, which the Republican has repeatedly called talentless mimic, has revealed the secret of his approach to the embodiment of the image of the Republican. “You can copy the voice or appearance, but to achieve success, you have to imagine who the character is. For me, trump represents a person who is always looking for more strong and a good expression, but never remember. Every time I play him I make a long pause in the search for a word and then repeat the word, which began with the phrase”.
Alec Baldwin took an active part in protests against trump after his inauguration last January 20 of this year.
