Alec Baldwin Talks Rock Of Ages 'Russell was more unpredictable than the baboon'

Tweet

Quite possibly the loudest, daftest movie Empire has seen this year - and we've seen Battleship - Rock Of Ages turns the mayhem up to 12 in an air-guitaring maelstrom of bonkers rock stars, aspiring musicians, evil politicians and rogue baboons. Many extraordinary things happen in this movie. Russell Brand and Alec Baldwin forge a romance for the ages, Malin Akerman perpetrates arguably the weirdest kiss in movie history on Tom Cruise and the baboon punches Paul Giamatti in the face. Overseeing it all, no doubt with a twinkly grin, was Adam 'Hairspray' Shankman. There were so many questions to ask we had to assemble this cast of '80s rockers to ask them how these things came to pass.
