A somber Alec Baldwin and smiling wife Hilaria were spotted at a coffee shop near their New York City home on Thursday, just hours before his interview about the deadly Rust film shooting was set to air on ABC.
The pair were seen grabbing coffee at the Madman Espresso in the West Village, a favorite haunt for the couple, as Baldwin kept a sullen look, dressed in all black, while Hilaria wore electric metallic leggings and a golden-colored Moncler vest priced at $1,900. 
The Baldwins had also been spotted earlier in the day taking a stroll with their infants in the Manhattan streets.
After the coffee break, Baldwin carried suitcases and packed them into his SUV before going home.
His bombshell, 90-minute interview with George Stephanopoulos, in which the sobbing star denies ever pulling the trigger on the gun that killed his cinematographer, airs at 8 pm.

Bryan W. Carpenter, a weapons armorer who works for Dark Thirty Film Services, said he was skeptical that Baldwin never pulled the trigger.
'In order to make it fire, you have to put your thumb up onto the hammer, cock the hammer all the way back, and then as the hammer is completely cocked back, then you pull the trigger and then the gun fires,' Carpenter told .

'So that's very important because that gun had to have two step process to fire. It had to be cocked and the trigger pulled to fire.'
Carpenter continued: 'Once you cock the hammer back on one of those old west guns, it doesn't take a lot to set that trigger off.'
His comments come after Santa Fe Sheriff Adan Mendoza told the outlet that 'guns don't just go off.

So whatever needs to happen to manipulate the firearm, [Baldwin] did that and it was in his hands.'
But Lisa Tarraco, attorney for Assistant Director Dave Halls - who along with Baldwin and set armorer Hannah Gutierrez Reed are the focus of Mendoza's investigation - says she was told by her client that Baldwin did not pull the trigger.
'Dave has told me since the very first day I met him that Alec did not pull that trigger,' Torraco told GMA.

'His finger was never in the trigger guard.'

Baldwin's interview with George Stephanopoulos is set to air Thursday at 8 p.m. 

'As you can imagine he was devastated, but he was also very candid, was very forthcoming,' Stephanopoulos said of his hour-and-a-half long interview with the actor.
In the weeks following the shooting, several former crew members have spoken out about what they called an unsafe environment on the set.
Two weeks ago, the script supervisor Mamie Mitchell tearfully announced that she was suing Baldwin and accused him of playing 'Russian Roulette' when he fired a gun without checking it first to make sure it was not loaded, and further claimed that the scene being filmed did not call for the firing of the gun.
The suit names 22 defendants associated with the film, including Baldwin, Rust producers, six production companies - El Dorado Pictures, Thomasville Pictures, Short Porch Pictures, Brittany House Pictures, 3rd Shift Media and Streamline Global - armorer Hannah Gutierrez Reed, First Assistant Director David Halls and others.
Mitchell, a 40-year industry veteran, was standing close to Hutchins when the bullet fired from Baldwin's gun killed her and then injured director Joel Souza.

Luper Lane has criticized the film's production as one that created the perfect storm for the tragic shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins

Lane Luper, who served as the film's A-camera first assistant, said he quit one day before the fatal shooting because employees were being overworked, COVID-safety was not being enforced properly and gun safety was poor.
'I think with Rust, it was the perfect storm of the armorer, the assistant director, the culture that was on set, the rushing.

It was everything,' he told Good Morning America about the events that led up to the fatal shooting.
'It wasn't just one individual. Everything had to fall into place for this one-in-a-trillion thing to happen.'
In his letter of resignation, Luper said there had been two accidental weapon discharges on set and one accidental sound-effects explosion that went off around the crew.
'There have been NO explanations as to what to expect for these shots.

When anyone from production is asked we are usually met with the same answers about not having enough time to complete the day if we rehearse or that 'this is a 21 day shoot,'' Luper wrote in the letter.
He added that the crew grew exhausted of long commutes from the set to their lodging, which for some more than two hours away.
'In my 10 years as a camera assistant I've never worked on a show that cares so little for the safety of its crew,' Luper said.
In a statement to Sky News, a spokesperson for the producers hit back at his claims, saying: 'Mr.

Luper's allegations around budget and safety are patently false, which is not surprising considering his job was to be a camera operator, and he had absolutely nothing to do with it or knowledge of safety protocols or budgets.
'As we continue to cooperate with all investigations, we are limited in what we can say,' the spokesperson continued.

'However, safety is always the number one priority.
Some social media users were skeptical of Baldwin's claim that he didn't pull the trigger.
'The only way any firearm is going to fire is if the trigger mechanism is pulled or jolted hard on older weapons.

I.E. Should you loved this post and you would want to receive much more information concerning _____________ i implore you to visit our own web site. dropped, banged hard,' tweeted one user. 'Do you truly believe people are so stupid to believe your nonsense?'
'Good grief his 'acting' is horrendous,' tweeted another. 'Western style handguns either require the shooter cock the weapon first or don't.

Either way, this weapon had the trigger pulled. It wasn't dropped.
'@AlecBaldwin had it in his hands and killed Halyna and wounded another. Man up, already.'
