Alec Baldwin and wife Hilaria playfully arrive on the red carpet at All In: Comedy About Love gala in NY

Alec Baldwin and his wife Hilaria playfully arrived on the red carpet at the All In: Comedy About Love gala by Simon Rich in New York on Monday night.

The actor, 66, joined his glamorous wife, 40, at the Hudson Theatre before celebrating the new comedy.

Hilaria cut a casual, but chic figure in a khaki green jumper and black denim skirt, teamed with black court heels.

Alec attempted to make people laugh by putting on an animated display on his arrival. 

All In: Comedy About Love is 'a series of hilarious short stories about dating, heartbreak, marriage and that sort of thing,' according to Broadway Plus.

A revolving cast of groups of four will take the stage each week, per the website.

Alec's appearance at the gala comes after a string of scandals. 

He was recently criticized for branding Americans 'uninformed' during a recent film festival.

When the star received this year's Lifetime Achievement Award at the Torino Film Festival in northern Italy, he said Americans were 'uneducated' about the world's most pressing issues.

Alec said: 'Americans are very uninformed about reality - what's really going on.

'Americans have an appetite for a little bit of information.'

And the comments sparked outrage among his fellow New Yorkers which even sparked a series of wild claims from a neighbour.

Meanwhile, last month it was revealed Alec is facing a fresh effort to revive the criminal case against him related to the 2021 fatal shooting of the cinematographer on the movie set of Rust.

If successful, the actor could face the same 18-month prison sentence that the movie's armorer was given.

Prosecutors in New Mexico have filed an appeal against the judge’s July decision to dismiss the involuntary manslaughter case.

The one-page notice that went public on Tuesday stated that prosecutors are appealing to the state's Court of Appeals to reverse the ruling and restart the case.

While it will be months before a decision is made, the specter of Alec having to return to court in Santa Fe comes as he is finally attempting to put the 2021 Rust shooting behind him.

The Rust trial was dismissed by the judge after two days when it became clear that prosecutors had not disclosed evidence about the source of the bullets to Alec's lawyers.

In October, Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer rejected a request from prosecutors to restart the case. But now prosecutors are trying to go over her head by appealing the decision. 

Alec has always maintained his innocence over the fatal shooting of Hutchins on the set of Rust, an indie Western film.

She was killed after the Colt. 45 handgun Alec was using for a rehearsal scene fired a bullet into her at close range, which also injured director Joel Souza.

Prosecutors claimed in court documents that Alec cut corners on safety and refused to attend a safety briefing.

Alec was charged with involuntary manslaughter, the same charge that Rust armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed faced during a separate trial.

She was found guilty and is currently serving an 18-month prison sentence.

Speaking in Torino, Alec called the Rust shooting ‘the most difficult thing I’ve ever dealt with in my life’.

He said; ‘Beyond the victims themselves, the thing that most pains me is what it did to my wife.

'We are trying to get the wind in our sails, to get away from this stuff. Because the film
