"This was pretty devastating. This is how he handles difficult times. Whenever something bad happens, in the short term, he removes himself from [the] public eye," a source told People magazine.
Actor Alec Baldwin is cancelling other projects following an accidental shooting on the set of his upcoming film ''Rust'', which led to cinematographer Halyna Hutchins' demise and left director Joel Souza injured.
A source told People magazine that Baldwin is looking "to take some time to himself and re-centre himself," as he has during difficult times in the past.
"This was pretty devastating. This is how he handles difficult times. Whenever something bad happens, in the short term, he removes himself from [the] public eye," the source added.
The source confirmed to the outlet that Baldwin was "hysterical and absolutely inconsolable for hours" following the shooting. "Everyone knows this was an accident, but he's absolutely devastated," the source further said.
