Alec Baldwin looked tired and weary as he stumbled through the streets of New York City on Monday. The 65-year-old actor underwent a hip replacement last month.
Most people who have the surgery do not need bed rest, and exercise helps prevent their new joint from becoming stiff.
Wife Hilaria Baldwin, 39, shared a photo of him recovering in a hospital bed after surgery, which she said had been ‘long overdue’.
Baldwin was only photographed weeks after reaching a settlement with Halyna Hutchins’ son after Rust’s cameraman was shot dead by him on set.
She died when a Colt .45 pistol was accidentally loaded with a live bullet in October 2021 and shot at her by the actor.

“Alec got a hip replacement today…it took a long time,” the mother of seven of Baldwin’s eight children wrote in her caption, posing next to him in his hospital gown.
She noted that the surgery was necessary to help improve his “quality of life.”
“We’ve been through so much together…as your partner and as you heal, I so want you to put this very intense chronic pain chapter behind you,” she added, before thanking his nurses, doctors and other people who would care for her. give for him after surgery.

Despite his recent health problems, the effects of the deadly set of Baldwin’s western film Rust continued to film even as he recovered.
On June 1, a judge approved a settlement he reached with the son of film director Halyna Hutchins, who was shot dead by Baldwin on set.
A settlement had already been reached in October, but it was delayed until a judge approved. The settlement results for the child were kept confidential.
Halyna’s husband Matthew Hutchins filed a wrongful death lawsuit in February 2022, alleging that the couple’s pre-teen son, Andros Hutchins, acted recklessly and contributed to her being fatally shot.
After a settlement was reached last October, a judge finally ruled that the settlement was in the best interests of Andros, who was nine years old when his mother died.

The charges were shelved after a new prosecutor reviewed evidence indicating the gun could have fired without the trigger being pulled, police said The New York Times.
