Alec Baldwin recently confessed he feared for his life after the former US President Donald Trump commented over Rust shooting, saying, “it was on purpose”.

There’s something wrong with him, he’s a sick guy,” remarked the former president. “The former president of the US said ‘I probably shot her on purpose’. You don’t think I thought to myself, ‘Are some of those people going to come and kill me?’” Baldwin stated.

The latest of which was summed by the embattled star with these remarks:

"Here was Trump, who instructed people to commit acts of violence," Baldwin recalled. "Saying I was responsible for the death."

“My authorities as a producer are casting and script, which are actually married to the role of being a lead actor in a film. There are basically two types of producers who are really in charge of production: people that raise the money and the people who spend the money.
