Alec Baldwin

I felt like it was a good pace for the level of the budget that we had.

It ran smoother than anything of that budget I've ever been involved with.

It really did.

But some crew members said the production felt rushed.

It just was a beat the clock kind of thing.

I arrived on the 11th.

I had dinner with Helena.

Baldwin posted a video of himself on Instagram shortly after he arrived on set.

I want to say, I look at myself in the mirror and I have a reflection of this and I'm really kind of appalled.

It's appalling.

We're here shooting a film.

We start tomorrow.

And no, I'm not playing Santa Claus.

On the 12th, I had a safety demonstration with Hannah Reid, the armorer.

We spent an hour and a half shooting the pistol.

Her giving me all her safety instructions.

We were told by several members of the crew that Hannah sometimes had the guns in her waistband or she would carry them underneath her armpits.

Now this is a young woman who was around guns her whole life, but for other members of the crew, this was sort of alarming.

Hannah's lawyer tells ABC it's not unusual for armors to carry firearms like this to various places on set as they need to.

He says there was never a safety issue with Hannah's carrying of the firearms.
