They've out-Baldwin'd themselves again, folks: Alec Baldwin posted an Instagram video pleading to get his wife more followers for her 39th birthday.

Yes, apparently all Hilaria — who you may know from the ol' not-Spanish scandal — really wants for her birthday is a million followers. A classic gift!

"Hey everybody, it's December...do that again. Hey everybody, it's January 5th — the day before my wife's birthday," Alec began.
"I would like to ask you a small favor, and that is my wife is...just centimeters shy of a million followers on Instagram. I would like to ask you, as a birthday gift or even just gesture to my wife — would you follow her on Instagram?"

He continued, "Obviously, I love my wife. Obviously, I'm crazy about my wife. Obviously, blah blah blah, all the things we all say about people we're in love with. My wife's the most fabulous person I've met in my whole life, that's true. That's definitely true."

"I would like as many of you as possible, I would like a really great, great surge of people to follow my wife on Instagram to say 'happy birthday' to my wife. Would you do that for me? Would you follow my wife on Instagram? Please? Thanks," he concluded.

It seems like Hilaria herself was a fan of the plea:
