Alec Baldwin is pushing through a painful recovery process!On Sunday, the 65-year-old actor posted a video on Instagram, where he updated his followers after undergoing a long-awaited hip surgery last Tuesday — and now he is powering through the pain.«Movies, movies, movies,» he captioned the video.«I had my hip replaced on Tuesday of this past week.

I had my left hip done in 2018, five years ago, and I had the other one done five days ago,» Baldwin told the camera.The actor was relaxed in a T-shirt and sported a little bit of a grown-out beard as he revealed that he was still in pain. «The pain goes away gradually but it is incredibly painful,» he said. «But as we keep saying in my house, 'It’s the pain that’s going to end the pain.'»A post shared by Alec Baldwin (@alecbaldwininsta)Baldwin revealed that he needed the hip replacement for two years.

However, he had to push it back due to scheduling and failing the glucose test.«I needed this surgery done at least two years ago and walked around and limped and I did myself no favors because the compensatory damage you do to your back, your neck, your feet, and your knees is not great,» he said.He added, «So to limp around with this condition for two years was tough, but I didn’t have the time to do it work wise or schedule wise.

I didn’t have four to six weeks to limit myself that way. Or my glucose issues affected that, so it was very tough. We would line up a date to do the surgery and I would fail my blood sugar test.
