Alec Baldwin returns to the sets of Rust after a ‘difficult period’

Since the tragedy, “not a day goes by” without his thinking about it. On October 21, on the set of the film Rust, which he co-produced, Alec Baldwin fatally injured cinematographer Halyna Hutchins with a revolver loaded with a live bullet. In a Christmas message spotted by our colleagues at Le Parisien, the actor once again reflects on the tragedy which, according to him, “will never be behind us”.

Tired, Alec Baldwin explains having received “hundreds of e-mails” from his relatives, his friends, colleagues in Hollywood cinema whom, sometimes, he had not heard of “for a long time”, full words of benevolence and prayers in the face of this “difficult situation”.

“All I care about is my wife and kids, and moving on with my life and trying to get through a tough time – a really tough time,” he says. “I can’t wait for some aspects of this to be behind me,” he continues, his voice hoarse. “Of course, for everyone involved, it will never be behind us because one person has passed away so tragically. Not a day goes by that I don’t think about it. ”
