No, it wasn't acting. It really happened, and it put that child's life in very serious danger. It was criminally irresponsible. One slip and that child was as good as dead, and it easily could have happened. Keeping two hands on him would have been bad enough, but he even had the baby in just one arm as he dangled him over the edge. That baby had no say in his life being gambled with that way. Children are at the mercy of people around them, and that child was let down.
That was narcissism on his part, narcissistic risk-taking with the boy's life. And because he was rich and "legendary" - and only because he was - there were no consequences. The sobering thing is, if he'd ever really faced some consequences, he might very well be alive today, forced to face what was wrong with him and so saved from himself. But what people got from him, for themselves, mattered more than his life did.
You could say the same thing about anybody that ever puts a child in an automobile. One eye off the road for a second, and the child could certainly die.

Here's the video. It was when everyone was trying to get a picture of the baby.

He's acting....very odd in that situation.
Look into his life more, it wasn't what it seemed on the surface.
