Alec Baldwin expressed his gratitude and relief towards his wife, Hilaria, in a recent podcast interview following the 2021 Rust incident that resulted in cinematographer Halyna Hutchins’ death.
The actor reflected on the traumatic experience, stating that he owes everything to Hilaria. “She is the most spiritually ascended human being I’ve ever met, and she was kind to me and supportive of me,” he said. Baldwin acknowledged that his wife suffered greatly during this time, but expressed his appreciation for her strength and resilience.
Baldwin has been open about the incident, which occurred on the set of his Western film in New Mexico. He claimed he did not pull the trigger and was unaware the gun contained live ammunition. The charges against him were later dismissed due to prosecution withheld evidence from the defense.
In the podcast interview, Baldwin said that he feels “a little bit better” knowing that the case was dismissed with prejudice. However, he acknowledged that talking about the incident was a difficult experience and chose not to discuss it further. He emphasized that his priority is to move forward with his family, particularly his seven children with Hilaria.
Baldwin shared that his wife’s trauma has been significant, but expressed hope that they can “get away from this stuff” and focus on their family’s well-being. The actor emphasized that the film industry would always be affected by the incident, but he is determined to move forward and prioritize his loved ones.
