Alec Baldwin was extremely worn down in the hours before he accidentally shot two crew members on the set of the film Rust.
On Thursday afternoon, the 63-year-old actor described being tired on social media while filming. He shared a photo of himself posing in front of his trailer in costume.
“Back to in person at the office. Blimey…it’s exhausting,” he captioned the post. A bit later, Alec shared a screenshot of a FaceTime conversation he had with his wife Hilaria.
In the snap, Baldwin had dark bags under his eyes and looked out of it. It’s unclear if his exhaustion played a role in the tragic incident on set that killed 42-year-old Halyna Hutchins and injured 48-year-old director Joel Souza.
As Breaking Celebrity News previously reported, Baldwin was filming a scene on Thursday which required him to use a pop gun. The actor fired the gun which caused either shrapnel or a bullet to discharge and hit both victims.
Hutchins was airlifted to University of New Mexico Hospital in Albuquerque where she died from her injuries
