Alec Baldwin has opened up about Halyna Hutchins’ shooting in his first sit-down interview, following the tragedy.

The actor, 63, discharged a gun on the set of Rust in October, and accidentally shot the cinematographer, and injured director Joel Souza.

Hutchins, 42, was airlifted to hospital in New Mexico but died from her injuries.

Baldwin shared his devastation in a statement at the time but has mostly kept a low profile in the weeks following the incident, with wife Hilaria Baldwin sharing updates and photos on social media.

It has now been confirmed that the 30 Rock actor took part in an ‘intense’ interview with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos, which is airing this week, and was said to be ‘candid’ about what happened.

There is not a trailer for the discussion, but Stephanopoulos gave an insight into what viewers can expect – deeming it the most ‘intense’ interview he has ever undertaken throughout his career.

Speaking on GMA, he told the panel: ‘I’ve done thousands of interviews in the last twenty years at ABC. This was the most intense I’ve ever experienced.

‘So raw. As you can imagine he’s devastated, but he was also very candid, he was very forthcoming.

‘He answered every question, he talked about Halyna Hutchins, 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 twenty minutes we sat down yesterday.’
