Stephen Baldwin’s appearance at the “Rust” trial was a bit of a shock, and not just because of his hair. Stephen and Alec Baldwin haven’t had the best relationship in the past couple years. In an interview with CBN in 2018, Stephen, a known Republican and Donald Trump supporter, revealed that politics made it difficult to talk to his older brother. He said, “I still haven’t talked to my brother Alec since the election. And I’m cool with that. I love him to death … That’s his choice, and he plays Trump on ‘SNL,’ great. Is it funny? Yeah. But it goes too far…” Still, Stephen seemed to put those feelings aside when the “Rust” shooting happened.
In October 2021, in the wake of the tragic accident, “The Usual Suspects” star shared an Instagram post, saying, “Asking for prayers tonight friends not much can be said other than please pray for all involved in the tragic in the wake of this tragic accident thank you.” Since then, Stephen hasn’t been that vocal about what went down with his brother on the “Rust” set. But, Stephen just made it loud and clear that he will always have Alec’s back no matter by accompanying his brother to court.
