'He's ready with the tough questions, little baby Anderson.' 👶
ET's chat with Baldwin came amid her recovery from the coronavirus, whichfor last month. Though she feels"nearly 100 percent now," Baldwin said the body aches from the virus were"excruciating" at times.
"I'd crawl into the bathtub and I would just sob because I would try to use the hot water to distract my skin," she says."But you know, again, I was lucky. I popped a lot of Tylenol and slept a lot. I slept like a teenage boy. I would sleep 12 hours a night, wake up, have a tea, and go back to sleep for three more hours. It takes it out of you."
Though Baldwin was candid about her struggle with COVID-19 in an effort to give people"hope," she was initially uncomfortable becoming the story that she was reporting on. "I want to listen to people, I want to talk to people, I don't necessarily want the attention on me," she says."I started getting all of these texts and Instagram messages and phone calls, I felt unworthy initially. I felt very vulnerable... When I was feeling my absolute worst that's when I would sit in my bed and go through all these comments, just leaning into the love and support because that is what honestly helped me kick this thing.
In addition to the social media love she received, she also heard from Gayle King, DJ Jazzy Jeff and her CNN colleagues amid her illness and recovery.
