Hollywood’s actor Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson says he will stop using real firearms on his movie sets.
The Rock made the revelation after the shooting death of “Rust” cinematographer Halyna Hutchins at the hands of Alec Baldwin.
The 49-year-old actor, who owns the production company Seven Bucks, made the revelation to Variety on Wednesday 3rd November 2021.
“First of all, I was heartbroken,” Johnson told the outlet at the premiere of his new Netflix blockbuster “Red Notice” in Los Angeles. “We lost a life. My heart goes out to her family and everybody on set. I’ve known Alec, too, for a very long time.”
The former pro wrestler who handles firearms in the new movie, which launches on November 12 said he also will enforce his new policy with any studio he works with in the future.

“I can’t speak for anyone else, but I can tell you, without an absence of clarity here, that any movie that we have moving forward with Seven Bucks Productions any movie, any television show, or anything we do or produce, we won’t use real guns at all,” Johnson told Variety.
“We’re going to switch over to rubber guns, and we’re going to take care of it in post production. We’re not going to worry about the dollars. We won’t worry about what it costs,” he added.
The “Moana” superstar made his comments a couple of weeks after Baldwin fatally shot cinematographer Hutchins and wounded director Joel Souza with a .45-caliber Colt revolver that he believed was loaded with dummy rounds.
The tragic shooting remains under investigation and authorities have not filed criminal charges.
