Alec Baldwin says he’s gotten fired from five jobs in the 10 months following his deadly “Rust” movie set shooting and credits his wife, Hilaria Baldwin, for supporting him in the aftermath.
The actor, 64, in an interview with CNN published Friday, opened up about the October shooting on set outside of Santa Fe, New Mexico, during which the prop gun he was holding during a rehearsal fired, killing cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and wounding director Joel Souza.
“I got fired from another job yesterday,” he told the news outlet. “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.”

He continued: “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.”
Baldwin said the incident “has taken years off” his life.
“That (Hutchins) died, that’s the worst thing of all. Somebody died, and it was avoidable. It was so unnecessary,” he said. “Every day of my life I think about that.”
