Namely, he revealed that he wants to spend more time with his family, following the very painful years that ensued after the shooting on the set of the film "Rust," in which cinematographer Halyna Hutchins was killed. Baldwin (68) spoke about this on the podcast "Awards Chatter," where he emphasized that the time spent at home with his wife Hilaria Baldwin and their children significantly changed his perspective on work. "For me, because of the situation in New Mexico, it was very painful," he said during the conversation. Speaking about the period after the tragedy, Baldwin stressed that he almost completely stopped working. "In the end, I spent a lot of time at home. For three and a half years, I was at home with the children. I hardly worked at all, and that is now changing—I will go and do a bunch of things—but I was at home and got used to it, and I no longer want to leave the house. I don’t want to. I don’t want to work anymore. I don’t want to. I really don’t want to. I want to retire and stay at home with the children," Baldwin stated. From his marriage to his ex-wife Kim Basinger, he has a daughter, Ireland Baldwin, while with Hilaria Baldwin, he has seven children. The actor was the subject of a criminal investigation regarding the circumstances of Halyna Hutchins' death. He was initially charged with involuntary manslaughter in January 2023, but the charges were dismissed three months later. He was charged again in 2024, but those charges were also dismissed during the trial in July of the same year, after the court determined that prosecutors had not considered evidence that could explain how live ammunition ended up on the set.
