In a summary of actor Alec Baldwin's first interview since the shooting incident in which filmmaker Halyna Hutchins was killed, Baldwin says he did not pull the trigger.
Hutchins, 42, was killed and director Joel Souza, 48, was injured when the gun Baldwin was carrying exploded during the filming of "Rust" - a rare fatality that forced Hollywood to reconsider its use of weapons in the film industry. .
In a promo for the ABC interview, Baldwin's first since the tragedy, George Stephanopoulos appears asking the actor to confirm that it was not in the script for the trigger to be pulled. "Well, the trigger did not pull. "I did not pull the trigger," said Baldwin. Stephanopoulos adds: "So you never pulled the trigger?" to which Baldwin responds: “No, no, no, no. I would never point the gun at anyone and pull the trigger. Never. ”
The journalist described Baldwin as "devastated" but "very sincere".
"I've done thousands of interviews in the last 20 years on ABC. "It was the most intense I have ever experienced," he said.
Asked how he thinks a real bullet was inserted into the gun, which was supposed to be loaded with maneuver bullets, Baldwin said he "had no idea".
