Even amid the stressful circumstances, the Hollywood star seemed relaxed and content while hanging out with his friend. 

Alec was also seen chatting with another person on the sidewalk.

The pair appeared a little closer than his other friend, and at one point Alec held out his hand.

Alec is doing his part to stay safe during the pandemic, and that includes pitching in more at home.

While appearing on The Howard Stern Show from his home alongside his wife Hilaria Baldwin, the actor revealed he had been cleaning up more after meals.  

‘So I’ll cook, and he’ll do most of the cleaning,’ Hilaria told Howard. 

The couple both agreed Alec was pretty extreme about cleaning, to the point it has become a point of tension for the pair.

‘I’m like cleaning, and taking care of the kids, and the dogs and the this and the that, and he comes down and he’s like, “You just don’t do it right,” and I’m like,’ she said, contorting her hands to look like claws.

The couple are also learning how to adjust their day-to-day routines in an effort to stay safe amid the pandemic. 

‘One of the hardest things has been dealing with the change of routine,’ Hilaria explained. ‘”Like whoa, we can’t do this,” and we have to do this, and then dealing with him on top of it, who is like Little Mr. Routine, and he’s like, “What do you mean I can’t go out to dinner?” and I’m like, “You cannot go out to dinner.”‘

Alec said now they were saving ‘tens of thousands of dollars’ from not having to go out to eat.

The couple, who have four children together, also revealed they do not talk about the ongoing COVID-19 crisis in front of their children.    

‘No point in contaminating them with fear and so forth,’ he said. ‘We want them to be kids and enjoy their lives, their day and that’s it.’ 

The couple are trying to serve as an example to their children. 

‘As long as we don’t show that we’re stressed out about it, then they don’t get stressed out about it,’ Hilaria said. 

Alec and Hilaria married in 2012 and share daughter Carmen, six, and sons Rafael, four, Leonardo, three, and Romeo, one. 

Uh oh! The couple both agreed Alec was pretty extreme about cleaning, to the point it has become a point of tension for the pair
