Stephen Baldwin: 'Alec is Doing Great'

Stephen Baldwin has reassured fans of his brother Alec, insisting the 30 Rock star is feeling "great" after his early morning dash to hospital on Thursday.

Paramedics transported Alec Baldwin to a New York hospital after receiving a 911 call, believed to have been made by his 14-year-old daughter Ireland, from his Manhattan apartment.

He was released after a brief check-up and his representative subsequently insisted the hospital visit had been one big "misunderstanding", amid rumours the actor had been intoxicated.

In a statement released on Thursday, Baldwin's spokesman, Matthew Hiltzik, said, "This was a misunderstanding on one person's part. Alec was quickly released from the hospital; he's completely fine and will be at work today."

Hiltzik added that "absolutely no drugs or alcohol" were involved in the incident.

Now born-again Christian Stephen has spoken out to further dismiss fears for his older brother's health.

Describing the hospital admission as a "miscommunication", he tells Extra, "He's great. Everything's fine... There was nothing weird, nothing stupid."

Ireland is Alec Baldwin's daughter with ex-wife Kim Basinger. »
