Alec Baldwin lashes out at Uma Thurman's multimillionaire partner Arpad Busson calling him a 'pockmarked toady'

Alec Baldwin has doled out yet another tongue lashing and this time the target of his ire is millionaire investor Arpad Busson.

The 30 Rock actor has taken umbrage with Busson, who recently announced a move into movie producing, after he claimed Baldwin was 'only a TV star'.

Baldwin told TV Guide: 'He’s a pockmarked toady who hops from yacht to yacht and bed to bed.

'So when some bloated little toad like Busson labels me a certain way, I say to myself, ''Consider the source.''

'If movie stardom meant being trapped on a yacht with Busson, I’d rather be a weatherman for Ch. 4 in New York.'

It appears that Baldwin crossed paths with Busson, who is the partner of Uma Thurman, in Cannes earlier this year.

Baldwin, 55, who is launching his own MSNBC talk show, also used the interview as an opportunity to air his grievances against Hollywood movie bosses, saying that they were clueless when it came to making films.

The actor said: 'They’re all factotums of multilateral corporations. It’s all money, money, money.'

However Baldwin did express admiration for Steven Spierlberg, adding: 'He doesn’t have to go to one of the douchebags from Warner Bros. and explain to them why his movie is marketable.'

Baldwin has been given his own Friday night TV talk show called Up Late With Alec Baldwin. It begins next month.

The rant is the latest from Baldwin, who recently became a father again to daughter Carmen with second wife, 29-year-old Hilaria. The actor also has a 17-year-old daughter Ireland with ex-wife Kim Basinger. 

Baldwin is known for his fiery outbursts. Last month he tackled a photographer in New York City who he believed had come too close to him and Hilaria while they were out for a stroll. The couple did not have their baby daughter with them at the time.

Photos of the scene appear to show the angry actor first warning off the male photographer then manhandling him over the hood of a parked car.
No charges were made against Baldwin or the photographer following the incident.
