Given his recent outbursts, this was probably a good idea!

Alec Baldwin was loading luggage into his car outside his N.Y.C. apartment Friday, and the actor asked random kids on the street to block photographers from taking his picture as he took care of business.

The 30 Rock star then rewarded the strangers with cash!

The new dad has been making headlines this week, but not for the right reasons! The other day, the hot tempered Hollywood stud shouted a homophobic slur at photographers who were allegedly getting too close to his wife Hilaria and their baby daughter Carmen.

Of course, then his PR team thought it was a good idea to parade out his gay hairdresser to defend his behavior!

Maybe Alec should start paying passersby everwhere he goes!
