Jensen Ackles, the beloved star of “Supernatural,” is known for his down-to-earth personality and his unwavering commitment to his principles. His recent departure from the film “Rust,” following the tragic shooting that took the life of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, has left many wondering: was it a scheduling conflict, a fear of the "cursed" production, or a silent protest against Alec Baldwin?
Ackles, who was set to star alongside Baldwin in the Western film, has remained tight-lipped about his reasons for leaving the project. However, his police interview, conducted shortly after the shooting, offers some clues.
In the interview, Ackles came across as professional and composed, calmly recounting his experience on the set of "Rust." He expressed no ill will towards Baldwin or anyone else involved in the production.
“What a great guy!” one commenter wrote after watching the interview. “So normal and down to earth.”
However, Ackles’s comments about his personal approach to gun safety on set have raised eyebrows. Ackles revealed his rigorous process of personally checking every gun before using it, a stark contrast to Baldwin’s reliance on the armorer’s expertise.
"In his years of experience as an actor, he always checks the gun for live rounds, and then points the gun to the ground and shoots it 6 times at the ground, before he films with a gun," a commenter noted.
