De Niro talks about Baldwin temper
Friday 28 November 2008
Speaking at a London press conference about 'What Just Happened' the film's producer, Linson spoke about his book 'A Pound of Flesh' upon which the film is based.
Bruce Willis plays a parody role of an angry spoilt actor, allegedly based on Alec Baldwin's behaviour on set, which Linson wrote about in his book.
Linson replied to a question about whether he asked Baldwin to re-enact his original 'performance' for the film, he said: "No. You know what? I have too much regard for my own health to go there!"

De Niro added: "Well I started with Alec, I said 'I've got something I want to show you'. You know, I said to myself 'Well he might have a sense of humour about it' but then later I said, eh...no, let it go!"
Linson added: "He has a true temper, he does. Sometimes if you really have that temper, you're better off not acting it".
