George Clooney discussed the tragic on-set shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins during the production of “Rust” on the WTF with Marc Maron podcast, connecting it with the death of his friend Brandon Lee in 1993.
Lee died from an accidental shooting on the set of “The Crow.” Reflecting on these incidents, Clooney emphasized the strict safety protocols he follows, including checking guns before each use.
He criticized the inexperience of the “Rust” armorer and highlighted the difficulties in distinguishing dummy bullets from live rounds.
Clooney called these incidents a combination of preventable mistakes and tragedies. He advocated for greater safety measures on sets, while Eliza Hutton and Alec Baldwin also urged changes to enhance on-set safety following these events.
