Don’t take a yoga class with Paul McCartney unless you want your ego bruised.
Alec Baldwin once called the Beatles musician an “a–hole” for showing off his expert yoga skills when they took classes together, he revealed on Wednesday’s episode of the “Our Way with Paul Anka and Skip Bronson” podcast.
“I used to take a yoga class with Lorne [Michaels], John Eastman, who’s Paul’s brother in-law, John Alexander, the painter, Paul and I,” he explained. “We called ourselves the ‘yoga boys.'”
However, the “30 Rock” alum, 66, said the “only one” who was actually good at yoga was McCartney, 81 — and he often let them know it.
“He would do a handstand or a headstand and he had the most lithe body you’ve ever seen — and back then he was in his late 60s — and he was so fit,” Baldwin continued.
“One time he does a headstand before he leaves, and he gets up and whispers to me, he goes, ‘I’m gonna go take my daughter to lunch. I’ll see you guys later.'”

Baldwin then joked he had some choice words for the legendary singer, 81.
“I looked up at him after he does the headstand and I go, ‘You’re an a–hole.’ And I never thought I’d call one of The Beatles an a–hole, but he was just always showing us up with his physical skills,” he concluded.
“He was a very fit guy.”
Although the “Rust” actor wasn’t very good at yoga, he found other ways to take care of himself — specifically sober living.
Elsewhere in the episode, Baldwin discussed his decision to stop drinking alcohol nearly four decades ago.
“I don’t discuss this a lot,” he prefaced. “I discuss it every now and then when it makes sense. I’m 39 years sober. I got sober February 23, 1985.”
Baldwin explained that while living in Los Angeles in the early ’80s he developed a drug problem.
“I had a two-year daily white-hot problem,” he started. “Every day for two years. I think I snorted a line of cocaine from here to Saturn.”
“Cocaine was like coffee back then,” the dad of eight joked. “Everyone was doing it all day long.”
Baldwin explained that once he “stopped doing drugs” in 1985, his “drinking increased,” which prompted him to become completely sober.
“The thing I miss is drinking,” he confessed. “I don’t miss drugs at all, but I do miss drinking. I like to drink.”
