Back In 2007, Alec Baldwin left a voicemail to his 11-year-old daughter, Ireland, calling her a “rude, thoughtless little pig,” which went viral—even causing Baldwin to temporarily lose his visitation rights.

Baldwin apologized for the voicemail, and Ireland publicly accepted his apology, saying that he often speaks like that “because he’s frustrated.” In an 2012 interview with Page Six Magazine, Ireland, the now 19-year-old daughter of Baldwin and Kim Basinger, said that the viral voicemail was blown out of proportion. “The only problem with that voicemail was that people made it out to be a way bigger deal than it was,” she said. “He’s said stuff like that before just because he’s frustrated.”

The father-daughter duo recently poked fun at the infamous voicemail with a post on Instagram. In the photo, Baldwin and his daughter are posing with a book titled, “If I Were a Pig.”

“If I Were A Pig… I would be Rude and Thoughtless of course!” Ireland wrote in the caption. On Monday, July 27, Ireland, Baldwin and his wife Hilaria Thomas, attended the New York City premiere of Mission Impossible: — Rogue Nation on Monday.
