Alec Baldwin lived in fear of being killed by supporters of Donald Trump (76), after the former president of the United States previously said the actor pulled the trigger on purpose on the set of the movie ‘Rest’. That says the 64-year-old in conversation with CNN. Camerawoman Halyna Hutchins was killed in the shooting incident in October 2021.
“If I didn’t have my wife, I don’t know what I should have done”
Alecin says his fear stems from Trump’s earlier words calling on people to commit violence. “He pointed at me and said I was responsible for the death (of Halyna, ed.), so that scares me a thousand percent, yes.” In the interview, he also says that the stress he has from the incident ‘cost him years of his life’. “If I didn’t have my wife, I don’t know what I should have done.”
In the interview with CNN, the actor also says that he “sincerely believes” that investigations will show that the shooting incident was an accident.
The FBI concluded on Saturday that Alec “certainly” pulled the trigger of the gun on the set of Rust . The FBI examined the weapon and concluded that it could indeed not go off without someone manually pulling the trigger. The American denied on Tuesday that that was the case. According to him, the only question is who put bullets in the gun. “The man in charge of the security of the film set stated that the gun was safe when he handed it to me,” he said in a podcast.
