Los Angeles, July 22 (IANS)Actor Alec Baldwin reportedly wants his yoga instructor wife Hilaria Thomas to become a big name and is advising her to release her own fitness range.

"He really does want Hilaria to become this big yoga guru. He thinks she has the potential to start a fitness empire, which will include books, CDs, DVDs and high-end sports clothing for women," National Enquirer magazine quoted a source as saying.

Baldwin, 54, is already in talks to launch his 28-year-old wife, whom he married in June.

"Hilaria is youthful, good looking and well-spoken. Alec has already put out feelers to NBC execs to see what they can do about getting her a gig on the 'Today' show. That could be her launching pad," the source added.
