A good week ago Hollywood was shaken by a tragedy: Superstar Alec Baldwin (63) accidentally hit the camerawoman Halyna Hutchins († 42) with a prop gun on the film set of the Western “Rust”. Now the Hollywood star has broken his silence for the first time and talked about the tragic accident.
On the side of a street in Vermont, Baldwin was filmed talking to a reporter. The actor still seems distressed when he is asked about the death of the camerawoman. “She was a friend,” says Baldwin. “I was having dinner with her when I got to Santa Fe to film. We as a crew worked incredibly well together before this tragic accident happened. “
“Worry about the family”
How the accident came about is inexplicable to Baldwin: “Something like that never happens. The chance of something like this happening is one in a trillion. ” Many see weapons master Hannah Gutierrez-Reid as the culprit. This defended itself with a clear statement against the allegations.
Baldwin did not provide any further details. “I can’t comment on any ongoing investigations,” said Baldwin. He is in constant contact with the dead Halyna Hutchins’ family and prayed for them. He was sad. “We care about the family every day.”
The accident also weighed heavily on Alec Baldwin’s family. In the middle of the week, his wife, Hilaria Baldwin (37), expressed herself. “My heart is with Halyna. Her husband. Her son. With your family and loved ones. And with my Alec, ”wrote the yoga teacher, with whom Baldwin has six children, on Instagram.
“There are no words for it because it is impossible to express the shock and heartache of such a tragic accident,” writes Hilaria.
