BALDWIN’S LOOKS ARE SHOT TO HELL!
Stress is killing old matinee idol
EMBATTLED Alec Baldwin is being eaten alive by the stress of his looming manslaughter trial for the gunshot death of a movie cinematographer, leaving friends and medical experts fearing the actor’s anxiety may send him to an early grave.
The former movie matinee idol’s looks are now so alarming, a source says insiders are “pleading with him to get properly checked out by doctors” before he stares down the barrel of a trial that could put him away for 18 months over Halyna Hutchins’ tragic shooting on the set of his Western, Rust.
Witnesses were shocked by how haggard and worn the Hunt for Red October spy looked as he celebrated his 66th birthday in the Big Apple by shopping at the trendy Ralph Lauren store. He was nearly unrecognizable with massive dark bags under his eyes.
The tipster dishes the burly Hollywood tough guy’s “been dealing with crippling insomnia, high blood pressure and panic attacks. But now there’s very real worry in his circle that there’s an even bigger problem with Alec’s health and he needs to get a full diagnosis without delay.” Alarmed lifespan expert Dr. G Gabe Mirkin also wa warns the 30 Rock s star should get medical help immediately, noting: “His face shows signs of premature aging and last year, he had massive abdominal obesity, showing that he is already at incredibly high risk for being diabetic!” Indeed, as GLOBE revealed in March last year, sources say the 6-foot father of eight
had packed on 30 pounds and was crushing the scales at 275 while pigging out for comfort as his legal problems soared.
Baldwin was indicted by a grand jury in Santa Fe, N.M., on Jan. 19, for involuntary manslaughter — and has pleaded not guilty. Jury selection is set to begin July 9.
A worried friend says, “Alec looks like death warmed over! What he needs is psychological therapy and a medical intervention. The upcoming trial is weighing very heavily on him!”
