Alec Baldwin<\/a> shared that he suffers from physical and mental health problems since the Rust tragedy that killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins<\/a> in 2021.<\/p>\n

The 30 Rock actor said the ordeal “broke every nerve in my body, spiritually, financially, work-wise, career” during an appearance on the Dopey<\/a> podcast.<\/p>\n

“If I told you what my health conditions have been since October 21st of 2021 \u2014 it’s taken 10 years off of my life,” Baldwin said.<\/p>\n

Baldwin didn’t get into many details about his health, but he did say that at one point, he “couldn’t even move” and that “there was a time when I took a nap every day for a year.”<\/p>\n

Hutchins was killed on set of the western after Baldwin discharged a prop gun with live rounds. The actor was\u00a0charged with involuntary manslaughter<\/a>\u00a0in January 2023, but the charges\u00a0were dropped months later<\/a>. He was charged again<\/a> in January 2024, but a judge dismissed<\/a> that case with prejudice in July 2024, meaning it cannot be refiled.<\/p>\n

The Beetlejuice star has previously discussed the mental health struggles he has faced following the incident. Baldwin opened up<\/a> about having post-traumatic stress disorder in an episode of his reality show The Baldwins, which premiered in February but took place ahead of the actor’s 2024 trial.<\/p>\n

“I don’t know where I’d be if I didn’t have you and these kids going through this,” he said to his wife Hilaria Baldwin in the Feb. 23 episode.<\/p>\n

Hilaria revealed<\/a> that her husband had been experiencing suicidal ideation during another episode of The Baldwins.<\/p>\n

“He has survivor’s guilt. You’re involved in this thing that not anyone could even possibly imagine, so it goes back to that day. He wishes it were him,” she said in a March 2 episode.<\/p>\n

The Working Girl actor elaborated on this experience on the Dopey podcast, saying he’d lie in bed and struggle to continue forward.<\/p>\n

“It’s really kind of unappealing to me because to talk about killing yourself and to actually kill yourself are two so profoundly distinctive things,” Baldwin said. “I think a lot of people, I think countless people think about killing themselves and ending their life. And then very few do.”<\/p>\n

Rust was released in theaters in May. The film paid tribute<\/a> to Hutchins with a dedication in a title card.<\/p>\n
