Alec Baldwin threatens Donald Trump impersonator after sick prank following Rust tragedy

Alec Baldwin was ambushed by Donald Trump impersonator, Jason Scoop, who goaded the actor about the tragic death of Halyna Hutchins, who died on set of Baldwin's film, Rust, in 2021

Alec Baldwin had a few choice words for a comedian who made a sick prank following the tragic death of Halyna Hutchins.

The much-loved cinematographer tragically died in 2021 after the gun lead actor and co-producer, Baldwin, 66, was holding accidentally went off during a rehearsal on set.

Baldwin, who has long denied any responsibility for Hutchins' death, was charged with involuntary manslaughter. However, the case was thrown out last year with the actor returning to work in Hollywood - and even filming a reality show.

But the shocking shooting hasn't been forgotten as Donald Trump impersonator, Jason Scoop, ambushed The Cooler star outside his home in New York, goading him about the tragedy.

After being branded a 'murderer', the dad-of-eight threatened to "break" Scoop's "neck" during the confrontation. Scoop, who donned a suit and a blonde wig for the altercation, was seen approaching Baldwin as he unpacked his car, saying: "Alec it's your favourite President. Alec, I will offer you a total pardon because I want to be friends."

Following Baldwin to his car, he continued: "I will give you a total pardon for murdering that woman if you kiss the ring, kiss the ring, kiss the ring Alec."

Scoop cruelly then imitated Hutchins, telling Baldwin: "She's looking down on me, smiling, happy, 'thank you for confronting the man who took me out, who killed me.'"

A visibly irate Baldwin stepped close to the comic, saying: 'Now, now, now, let me ask you a question. Now I want you to look at me, look at me. Have you got a camera on me now?... My kids live in this building."

Baldwin then appeared to tap the comedian on the shoulder and said: "If this camera wasn't here, I'd snap your f*****g neck in half and break your f*****g neck, you know that don't you? Why don't you get out of here... I want you out of here! I'll take that camera and I'll shove it up your a**!"

The actor's trial for involuntary manslaughter was thrown out after a judge ruled evidence had been mishandled. The Boss Baby star has repeatedly insisted that he didn't pull the trigger of the gun or know why it contained live ammunition.

Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, the film's armorer, was jailed for 18 months in April after being found guilty of charges connected to the incident.

Rust resumed filming and finished its shoot in May 2023, saying in an Instagram post marking its completion: 'It's been a long and difficult road. But we reach the end of the trail today.'

In a questionable move, Alec and his wife, Hilaria, signed up for a reality show, which begins just before the actor was scheduled to stand trial in the fatal shooting. Reviews for the series have been mixed, with many saying the Hollywood A-lister should not be seeking any more attention.
