An ambush comedian who heckled Alec Baldwin while dressed as President Donald Trump, provoking death threats from the actor, said the cameras missed one of the most unexpected parts of the encounter. On Monday, Jason Scoop approached Baldwin on the street while he was taking bags out of a car and offered to pardon him for the accidental on-set shooting death of Rust cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. Baldwin stayed cool at first, but as the trolling continued, he got in Scoop’s face and calmly said, “If this camera wasn’t here, I’d snap your f---ing neck in half and break your f---ing neck right here,” which was all caught on tape. After their interaction ended and the camera stopped rolling, Alec’s wife, Hilaria, sprinted toward Scoop in her high heels and lunged at him, apparently attempting to grab his phone, Scoop told TMZ. He said he was nervous after Alec Baldwin threatened him, but he still wished his cameraman had captured the part with Hilaria. Baldwin has not responded to requests for comment about the viral confrontation.
