22 Stars Who Have Been Banned From Foreign Countries

ALEC BALDWIN – PHILIPPINES

During a 2009 interview on Late Night with David Letterman, the 30 Rock actor expressed a desire to have more children. Because he was single at the time, he joked that he was “thinking about getting a Filipino mail-order bride at this point… or a Russian one.” While Russia appeared to take no issue with the comment, the Filipino Bureau of Immigration issued an official statement calling the Hollywood legend an “undesirable alien” and preemptively banned him from entering the country. In an official statement, Baldwin said, "I apologize for the perceived insensitivity of that remark.” He elaborated that the joke was just meant to "achieve the goal of having more children in [his] life… I believe that most people understood that this was a joke and took it as such." Perhaps unsurprisingly, this non-apology fell on deaf Filipino ears
