Like other New Yorkers, the famous actor Alec Baldwin's family of eight bought their Christmas tree, the ultimate symbol of the holiday, from a manhattan vendor last Thursday. More than a month ago, he used a gun with live ammunition on the set, causing the photographer to die on the spot.
Went shopping with 6 kids
Hilalia Baldwin and her husband, Alec Baldwin, shared photos of the family's 6 children.
On December 8, Alec Baldwin and his family selected a Christmas tree from a roadside vendor in Manhattan, New York
Alec, 63, and his wife, 37, were in front of a row of Christmas trees on the sidewalk, smiling and enjoying the joys of family.
Their two youngest children, warmly snuggled in a two-seater stroller, while the 4 older children stood happily next to each other, enjoying the candy.
Hilalia and Alec have six children: Carmen, 8, Raphael, 6, Leonardo, 5, Romeo, 3, Eduardo, and 7-month-old Lucia.
Hilalia shared photos of her children on social media and how Christmas trees were installed at her home in New York.
She joked that it was supposed to be a big, heavy tree, but our family was a very small tree.
She shared photos of her husband, Alec, carrying the tree on his shoulders and then walking down the block to reach their luxury New York apartment.
On the same day they got the Christmas tree, Hilarya said her husband suffered from PTSD and had struggled with it for a long time.
Before the fatal shooting at the rust shooting site, Alec had been dealing with mental health issues.
After the gunshots
On October 21, a gunshot came from the set of the American Western film Rust, which was being filmed, and the gun in Baldwin's hand turned out to be a gun with live ammunition, and photographer Harina Hutchins was unfortunately shot by his gun and died.
Hilalia, who has had six children at the age of 37, said her husband is now suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder, which he had been suffering before the Rust movie shooting.
"It's not just because of what happened recently, but he's been suffering for a long time about it..."
Earlier, Alec shared a letter from the crew and cast of the Rust movie on Instagram, responding to claims of "chaos, danger and lack of management" at the filming scene in the days leading up to the incident.
The letter, signed by more than 20 crew members and actors, began by saying that the crew believed that "the public narrative surrounding our workplace tragedy is inadequate and wants to give a fuller picture of our experience." ”
The letter explains that in the film industry, it is common for productions that look "unprofessional" and "busy" in order to "gain experience and honor", and many crew members have experienced such a situation.
"We admit that no set is perfect, and like any other work, Rust has a brilliant side and a more challenging side."
"In the aftermath of the tragedy, a small number of people resigned, but the vast majority stayed and never felt the need to resign. They enjoy the job. Those who are disgruntled by a minority do not represent the views of all of them. “
The letter also said that morale was "high", "laughter and optimism" were diffused, and that "all departments, from the director to the production assistant, worked together to help achieve common artistic goals." ”
"We are well aware that we are making excellent pieces that capture beautiful images and great performances, and we are proud of that. It's hard work, but it makes sense. “
In an interview with George Stephanopoulos earlier this month, Alec said with tears in his eyes that he did not feel guilty because he did not take any responsibility for Hutchins' death, sparking controversy.
Two days later, both he and his wife, Hilalia, deleted their push accounts after the interview.
On Thursday, Hilarya also posted a video in which she told a reporter" "Please go away" with a note: "I need to speak out, not only for my family, but also for those who have been hurt before me." ”
Hilalia talked about the negative effects of fame and the struggle to become a celebrity.
"One of the things I've learned from entering this famous world is that when you get negative attention, whether it's from trolls or tabloid media, when people say something to you, ignore it and don't let them get what they want."
Time is the best medicine, and your silence is sometimes enough to make people understand your story better.
A pair of parents and 6 babies
In fact, the reason why the Baldwin family has attracted everyone's attention is not because of how good his acting skills are, but because he has 6 children, just last March, Alec Baldwin joked that he did not want to have children again.
"When my kids graduate, I'll be 85, and as my friend said, when your youngest kids enter puberty, your ears don't get any better, so you don't have to worry about what they're going to do."
With that said, the two are still having children, with the fifth child, Eduardo, born in September 2020, and the sixth child born in March 2020.
Being able to give birth to 6 children is also a god-like existence in Hollywood, so let's take a look at this remarkable family.
Carmen Baldwin
In 2012, a year after their marriage to Hilarya, Alec Baldwin and Hilarya welcomed their first child, a daughter, together in August 2013.
Carmen has shown the nature of a beautiful girl since she was a child, and little Carmen has grown up too fast, and her mother is a little uncomfortable for a while and does not like her. The good thing is that mothers and daughters can dress up nicely at home.
Raphael Baldwin
In June 2015, Alec and Hilarya welcomed their eldest son, Raphael. He is a typical noisy boy who likes to run out and play.
"Raphael is such a cute little kid," Hilarya said. "He looks a lot like his sister Carmen. He had Alec's nose and my lips and chin. Combined the advantages of Mom and Dad"
In order to prepare Carmen to play the "big sister", Hilalia bought her daughter some dolls and named them Raphael.
Leonardo Baldwin
The couple's third child, Leonardo, was born in September 2016.
Sharing her first photo of her son, Hilalia announced: "We are very pleased to introduce you to our third baby, Leonardo Lopez. Baldwin. It was a very special day when he came into this world. ”。
Just as her younger brother Raphael was born, Carmen embraced Leonardo as the eldest sister.
Romeo Baldwin
This is another boy from baldwin's family in 2018.
Hilalia proudly announced on Instagram: "He's here, he's perfect!" 8 lbs 2 oz (3.6 kg). ”
For two days after Romeo was born, there was no name. Hilalia called Romeo her "cutest child." At first his name was not Romeo at all, but Diego.
At that time, Hilalia told the children that Diego was coming and the family was waiting for him.
Eduardo Baldwin
Alec and Hilarya's fifth child, born in September 2020, is the couple's rainbow baby. In the year before they welcomed Eduardo, they had two miscarriages – Hilalia miscarried in April 2019 and November of the same year.
"I can't put into words how this voice makes us feel," Hilalia said of the baby's heartbeat before giving birth, "everything is fine, everything is healthy." I want to share this with you, we're here again. "
Lucia Baldwin
The couple announced on March 2, 2020 that they had secretly welcomed Baby No. 6, much to the surprise of the world.
Hilalia shared a photo of their newborn daughter, Lucia Baldwin, in which his older siblings Carmen, Raphael, Leonardo, Romeo and Eduardo surrounded her.
"7," she added a caption to the picture.
In Baldwin's house, there is a golden rule that the more people the better.
"My children are used to the arrival of new siblings, so they often wonder, when will the next child come?" Hilarya herself laughed when she said it.
"I think, guys, you and the whole world should stop asking me this question!"
"But they're really great and I love all my kids."
For Baldwin, who has had an unfortunate encounter, time is the best medicine, and silence is sometimes enough to make people understand the story itself better.
Photographer Harlena Hutchins' life has been irretrievable, and as a parent, Baldwin and his wife still have to raise 6 children to grow up, people always have to look forward, life must continue, laughing and moving forward with their lovers and families, is the true meaning.
