Alec Baldwin is in great spirits as he treats himself to ice cream in Rome during break from filming his new Christmas movie… after star's wife Hilaria confirmed she's pregnant
Alec Baldwin is embracing La Dolce Vita in Rome.
The Hollywood star was pictured beaming as he enjoyed a stroll around the Italian capital on Thursday, before treating himself at a Gelato store.
Alec is in Rome to film Christmas movie Kid Santa. It's been a week of headlines for the star whose wife Hilaria also confirmed on Tuesday that the couple are expecting their seventh child together.
Alec was in great spirits during his break from set on Thursday, flashing a huge smile for photographers as he explored the city, with his script in hand.
Kid Santa is by Italian director Francesco Cinquemani, who previously worked with Alec on the 2015 film Andron. It co-stars Alec's brother William.
The movie is being billed as a 'live-action/animation family Christmas comedy', according to Variety.
Alec was seen on set in Italy for the first time on Wednesday. His return to work comes after the incident in October last year when he held a revolver during a rehearsal for his movie Rust when it fired, killing cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and wounding the film's director.
Alec has returned to work in movies just months after the tragic on-set incident which saw cinematographer Halyna Hutchins killed.
In October 2021, the actor was holding a Colt .45 while preparing for a scene at a ranch near Santa Fe, New Mexico, when his gun went off, killing Hutchins and wounding the film's director, Joel Souza.
Alec said in a December interview with ABC News that he was pointing the gun at Hutchins at her instruction on the set of the Western when it went off without his pulling the trigger.
Charges haven't yet been filed in the ongoing criminal investigation by the Santa Fe County Sheriff's Office.
Matthew Hutchins, the widower of the cinematographer, filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Baldwin and others in the film in February.
In an interview with NBC in February, Matthew said: 'I was just so angry to see him talk about her death so publicly in such a detailed way and then to not accept any responsibility after having just described killing her.'
Matthew, a Harvard-educated lawyer, told Today in an interview that he felt the majority of the blame lay with Alec.
Alec, in the December interview, said: 'Someone is responsible for what happened, and I can't say who that is, but it's not me.'
Matthew said: 'The idea that the person holding the gun and causing it to discharge is not responsible is absurd to me.
'But gun safety was not the only problem on that set. There were a number of industry standards that were not practiced and there's multiple responsible parties,' he added.
Earlier this month, Hutchins' estate lawyer Brian Panish slammed Alec as 'shameful' for claiming that the cinematographer had told him to point the weapon at her and fire it.
Panish claimed Baldwin was trying to minimise the role he played in the incident that killed Hutchins, 42, telling Deadline that the actor was 'trying to avoid liability and accountability for his reckless actions before and on October 21'.
On Tuesday Alec's wife Hilaria revealed she is pregnant with her seventh child, with the former yoga instructor posting a video of herself and her husband playing with their six children after sharing their happy news with their brood.
