In an interview to be broadcast on ’60′ Minutes this Sunday actor Alec Baldwin tells Morley Safer that he may run for office in the future.

A decade ago, Baldwin was interested in politics, but said he was only 39 and all the people who ran the world were in their fifties. Since then, he has publicly dismissed the notion of running for office. A few weeks ago, he changed his mind. “There’s other things I want to do [besides acting]. I mean, in a matter of weeks, I’m going to be 50,” says Baldwin, who turned 50 on April 3. “There’s no age limit on running for office, to a degree. [It is] something I might do one day,” says Baldwin.

Maybe this will give Baldwin a chance to explain once and for all whether or not he really said he would leave the country if George Bush was elected president in 2000. Read the Snopes.com report on this.  Maybe a Clinton-Baldwin ticket in 2012?
