NEW YORK, Dec. 22 (UPI) -- Actor Alec Baldwin says he has no plans to run for mayor of New York City, the post Michael Bloomberg is to vacate in 2013.

Daldry is the director of "Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close," a movie about a New York family recovering from the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks.

The filmmaker told Baldwin he should run for mayor and the actor replied, "I've lost my appetite," the Times said.

"I've got a job now," Baldwin added. "I've got a good job."

The actor made headlines this month when he was booted off an American Airlines flight because he refused to stop playing an online video game and was rude to staff on the plane.
