Alec Baldwin on Who’s to Blame in ‘Rust’ Shooting: ‘I Know It’s Not Me’

Baldwin told interviewer George Stephanopoulos that he has nothing to hide and does not feel guilt about the incident.

“Someone is responsible for what happened,” he said. “And I can’t say who that is, but I know it’s not me.” Hutchins was killed on the set of the Western film on Oct. 21 after being hit by a live round while preparing for a scene. Baldwin was seated on a pew in a church building at the Bonanza Creek Ranch in New Mexico, and was holding a Colt .45 when it fired. Baldwin had been told that the gun was “cold,” meaning it contained only dummy rounds, and he said it took quite a while for him to realize that Hutchins was hit with a real bullet.

Baldwin told Stephanopoulos that he cocked the revolver but did not pull the trigger just before it “went off.” He also emphasized that it was Hutchins herself who had directed him where to point the weapon, as she was lining up the camera angle. “Everything is her direction,” Baldwin said. “I’m holding the gun where she told me to hold it, which ended up being aimed right below her armpit.”Baldwin sat down for the 80-minute interview on Tuesday. He expressed his sorrow at Hutchins’ death and his bewilderment at how a live round made it on the set of the independent film.“Rust” has been shut down indefinitely, and around Hollywood there has been renewed focus on set safety.

If the script called for him to put the gun to his own head and pull the trigger, would he have checked the gun first? 🤔

2. Why did you not check the gun you were literally holding and pointing at people

This interview is not making Alec look anything other than narcissistic

Yet he doing the opposite & making himself look & the whole lot look were guilty. If they all stop the blame game they could of done the this was terrible thing or they could of even as far as walking away when the others did & She would still be Alive.

Also Alec: “If your protocol is you’re checking the gun every time, well, good for you. Good for you.” Yes, Alec. George Clooney killed zero people. alecbaldwin

All I can say is that Hollywood learned nothing from Brandon Lee's death. There are replicas out there that you couldn't make shoot unless you had a few hours and the tools to do so. This was another senseless death.

Karma comes quickly!

. FIM DO MUNDO + JUST LOOK UP + ASTEROIDE NA TERRA + ARIANA + JustLookUp

He’s so fucked

Sure

Before the comment sections get out of control, as a filmmaker here is the order of responsibility: The Armorer, the 1st AD, the UPM, and a Stunt Coordinator. Yes, as humans we are all responsible for our actions, but on a film set, there are several protocols...

Almost no one in the comments has actually watched the interview. Big surprise.

Won't fly.

What a great Actor! Really!

he killed a woman

What a psycho

Un-edited High Definition live raw footage will conclude that.

you literally shot her, dude! man up and admit it!

Alec Baldwin Claims He 'Didn't Pull the Trigger' in Fatal 'Rust' ShootingAlec Baldwin says 'he didn't pull the trigger in the fatal 'Rust' shooting during an interview with George Stephanopoulos. Let me guess, It Was Trump All Along! Typical of a leftist to contort history after the fact. Not only did the trigger have to be pulled on his revolver, but also had to be cocked. He is simply twisting facts like leftists do, but in court, this revisionist junk wont stand a chance.
