Alec Baldwin hit back at Elon Musk for criticizing Lupita Nyong’o’s looks after she was cast to play Helen of Troy in “The Odyssey.”
“Dear Elon… but she IS the most beautiful woman in the world…Alec,” the “30 Rock” alum, 68, wrote on Instagram alongside a photo of the actress.
Baldwin’s remarks came days after conservative commentator Matt Walsh took to X to slam the decision to cast Nyong’o as the demigoddess, whose beauty sparked the Trojan War.
