The shooting of Halyna Hutchins on the set of “Rust” has “taken years off my life” and cost him professionally, said Alec Baldwin.
Alec Baldwin told CNN that he’d lost five projects after Halyna Hutchins’ death, with industry leaders not wanting to risk hiring him.
“I got fired from another job yesterday,” Baldwin said. “There I was all set to go to a movie, jump on a plane … I’ve been talking with these guys for months and they told me yesterday we don’t want to do the film with you because of this.”
Alec Baldwin also said he feared for his life after Donald Trump publicly stated that he believed Baldwin shot the cinematographer on purpose.
He said, “There is just this torrent of people attacking me who don’t know the facts.”
Alec Baldwin credited his family for helping him push through the tragedy.
“If I didn’t have my wife, I don’t know where I would be right now … If I didn’t have her, I probably would have quit, retired, gone off, you know sold everything I owned, got a house in the middle of nowhere and just you know did find something else to do, sell real estate,” he told the outlet.
