the actor confides for the first time after the drama and defends himself

This is the first time that Alec Baldwin has engaged in an interview since the drama and the exercise seems painful. Six weeks later, the star returns on Friday December 3 to the shooting that caused the death of Halyna Hutchins, the director of photography of the film Rust, in an interview with NBC. The actor never pulled the trigger on the gun he was holding in his hand, he says. The blow went off on its own. “She collapses, and I say to myself: ‘she had a discomfort’. The thought that there might have been real ammunition in that gun didn’t cross my mind for at least 45 minutes, an hour.“.

During the investigation, he is asked to answer questions about the head of the armory on the set, only 24 years old. When he mentions the late director of photography, Alec Baldwin bursts into tears. But his words are clear and weighed: he doesn’t feel guilty. “I smell although someone is responsible for what happened, and I don’t know who yet, but it’s not me“For the time being, the investigation is continuing.
