His post was liked by more than 1000 people within minutes, and his supporters included Sir Anthony Hopkins.
The Silence of the Lambs actor, 86, responded to Baldwin’s post with a red heart emoji.
Baldwin was indicted by a New Mexico grand jury in January after the gun he was holding during a 2021 rehearsal on the set of Rust discharged, killing mother-of-one Hutchins and injuring the film’s 51-year-old director Joel Souza.
The actor has since maintained he didn’t pull the trigger of the gun or know why it contained live ammunition. He pleaded not guilty but if he’d been convicted faced up to 18 months in prison.
Rust resumed filming and finished its shoot in May 2023, saying in an Instagram post marking its completion: “It’s been a long and difficult road. But we reach the end of the trail today.”
Father-of-eight Baldwin and his wife Hilaria Baldwin, 40, are making a reality series called The Baldwins after it was announced in June, about their family life.
The couple have seven children – 19-month-old Ilaria Catalina Irena, three-year-olds María Lucía Victoria and Eduardo ‘Edu’ Pao Lucas, as well as Romeo Alejandro David, five, Leonardo Ángel Charles, seven, Rafael Thomas, eight, and 10-year-old Carmen Gabriela.
Baldwin also has daughter Ireland, 28, with his 70-year-old actress ex-wife Kim Basinger.
