Around six weeks after the fatal shot on Alec Baldwin’s film set, the actor made his first statement in a major interview. The Hollywood star insists that he did not pull the trigger.
Los Angeles – It has been almost six weeks since the fatal shot on the film set by actor Alec Baldwin is now, and the Hollywood star is now making his first statement in an interview. The 63-year-old is deeply affected by the incident and protests that he did not pull the trigger on the gun.
After a fatal Baldwin shot: Actor asserts for the first time in an interview – “I didn’t pull the trigger!”
In the conversation with the TV broadcaster ABC, Baldwin now officially speaks in a large interview for the first time in front of the camera, so far the 63-year-old had held back with statements. On Thursday (local time) the interview, which lasts around an hour, will be broadcast on American TV, and a preview of around two minutes has already been published. Baldwin speaks particularly lovingly about the killed camerawoman – Halyna Hutchins (42) was loved and admired by everyone. Baldwin still cannot believe that the incident on the film set actually happened.
It is still unclear who is responsible for the fatal shot on the film set. Shortly after the incident, it became clear that the actually harmless film prop was equipped with real cartridges. Baldwin asserts in the TV interview, however: “I did not pull the trigger”. It was precisely this fact that made headlines shortly after the incident.
After a fatal incident on the set, Alec Baldwin protested that he had “no idea” how the shot was released
But Baldwin protests never to aim a gun at a person and then pull the trigger. The actor had “no idea” how the live ammunition found its way into the film gun and could not explain how the shot could have been released. Baldwin believes that someone must have loaded the gun with the ammunition. The actor does not have an explanation for the fatal shot on the film set.
However, in the released trailer, it becomes clear that the fatal incident weighs heavily on Baldwin. The actor breaks down in tears in the short excerpt. Not an easy task for presenter George Stephanopoulos either. In the run-up to the broadcast, the 60-year-old stated that this interview was the “most intense” of his 20 years with the TV broadcaster ABC. Baldwin was devastated, but he was very open to all questions. (Jennifer Lanzinger)
