George Clooney talks Alec Baldwin's deadly 'Rust' shooting incident, blames ‘a lot of stupid mistakes’
Fox News
George Clooney spoke out about the deadly accidental shooting on the set of “Rust,” blaming “a lot of stupid mistakes” for the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.
Speaking on the "WTF" podcast with host Marc Maron, Clooney noted that the "Rust" shooting is shocking to him after the deaths of actors Brandon Lee in 1993 and Jon-Erik Hexum in 1984 seemingly served as a warning to Hollywood. Both actors were killed as a result of mishaps with real firearms on sets. Clooney, who was personal friends with Lee before his death at age 28, noted that the incident prompted him to take guns very seriously in his work.
"Every single time I'm handed a gun on the set — every time — they hand me a gun, I look at it, I open it, I show it to the person I'm pointing it to, I show it to the crew," Clooney said (via Yahoo Entertainment). "Every single take."
