NEW YORK, NY — According to sources, actor Alec Baldwin has already grown tired of everyone screaming "Look out!" and diving to the ground every time he reached for his cell phone.
Ever since Baldwin was involved in the 2021 accidental shooting of a cinematographer on the set of a film, he has struggled with the constant terrified reactions he has received from family, friends, and total strangers any time he makes the slightest movement.
"Don't shoot! Don't shoot!" one man screamed as he fell to his knees when Baldwin walked by. "For the love of all that's holy, I've got a family! Don't kill me!"
Baldwin was seen shaking his head in frustration as people were getting back up off the ground behind him and dusting themselves off after diving for cover. "Give me a break!" he shouted. "I was just getting my phone out of my pocket for crying out loud! I'm not even armed! Just let me be!"
When reached for comment, one frightened passerby explained her actions. "You never know with that guy," she said as she got back to her feet. "I can't help it. It's just a natural reflex. When you see Alec Baldwin coming and you see him reaching for something, your fight-or-flight instinct takes over. I don't want to die."
At publishing time, police had responded to an emergency call placed by a terrified bank teller after they saw Baldwin walk in with his hands in his pockets.
