Alec Baldwin has given his first in-studio interview with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos following the tragedy that occurred on the set of his movie “Rust” in October.
The actor sat down on Tuesday with Stephanopoulos, who described the one-hour-20-minute discussion as “raw” and “intense.”
Stephanopoulos continued: “As you can imagine he’s devastated, but he was also very candid. He was very forthcoming. He answered every question, he talked about, talked about meeting with her family as well. [He] went through in detail what happened on the set that day, and I have to tell you, I was surprised in many places over the course of that hour and 20 minutes we sat down yesterday.”
He also claims that he did not pull the trigger on the gun, telling Stephanopoulos: “Well, the trigger wasn’t pulled. I didn’t pull the trigger.” Stephanopoulos confirms, “So you never pulled the trigger?” to which Baldwin replies, “No, no, no. I would never point a gun at anyone and pull a trigger at them. Never.”
