Alec Baldwin Loses Acting Jobs and Fears for His Life After Tragic 'Rust' Shooting

Alec Baldwin has revealed that he is losing acting jobs and fears for his life in the wake of the tragic shooting on the set of 'Rust'. In an interview with CNN, Baldwin admitted, "I got fired from another job yesterday. There I was all set to go to a movie, jump on a plane... I've been talking with these guys for months and they told me yesterday we don't want to do the film with you because of this."

The former '30 Rock' star also told the news outlet that he fears for his own safety due to former U.S. President Donald Trump publicly stating that he believes Baldwin should be held responsible for the shooting. Baldwin stated that the stress he's experienced has "taken years off my life". However, he credits his wife with keeping him from spiraling downward during such a challenging time. "If I didn't have my wife, I don't know where I would be right now... If I didn't have her, I probably would have quit, retired, gone off, you know sold everything I owned, got a house in the middle of nowhere and just you know did find something else to do, sell real estate."

Cinematographer Halyna Hutchins was killed on the set of 'Rust' on October 21, 2021, after a prop gun that Baldwin was holding discharged. The gun was initially not believed to be loaded with live rounds.
