The Oscar-winning 'Dallas Buyers Club' actor described the incident as a 'horrible accident that could easily have not happened.'
Real guns can safely be used on movie sets so long as protocols are followed, US actor Matthew McConaughey has told AFP in an interview, as calls mount to ban firearms from filmmaking in the wake of the deadly "Rust" shooting.
"There's a safety protocol, and if it's followed, it can be safe on set," McConaughey said Thursday in the interview, conducted via Zoom. The "Rust" armorer responsible for weapons on the film set said Friday she has "no idea" why there were live rounds present.
