Hailey BieberThe 58-year-old father was the first star to leave during the Fox show's premiere on Wednesday, January 8, which brings together celebrities of all kinds trying to get through training led by a team of… Former members of the Special Forces. Season 3 takes place in North Wales and features Stephen, the nation's Bachelor Trista Sutter and Ali Fedotowsky, Brody Jenner, Denise Richards And more.
“I'm the younger Baldwin brother. I'm a thespian,” Stephen told the cameras. “I trained twice with military technical advisors. Am I a special forces guy? No, but I played one on TV.
In the first task, the 16 celebrities had to jump from a speedboat onto a speeding helicopter and onto the helicopter – and Stephen was actually one of the eight cast members who managed to complete the challenge. But before the end of the episode, the actor expressed concern about his injury and requested medical consultation with the doctor on duty.
“I shattered my meniscus on the helicopter today and my back is in a knot and I can't turn my head up there,” Stephen said before the doctor asked if he wanted him to look at his knee.
Things then take a slightly strange turn when Steven becomes hostile. “It doesn't really matter at this point,” Stephen said before asking the doctor, “Are you getting paid to do this?”
“I'm curious – if right after this gig you had another employee paying you 10 times what they're paying, would you do it?” Continue. When the doctor responded that he was unsure “where this conversation was going” because he thought Stephen wanted medical advice, Stephen declared that he had “a decision to make.”
“Okay, what's your decision?” – asked the doctor.
“I have a party right after that. The only requirement for this party is that I don't get injured. It's not worth it to me. It's not worth going to the hospital for a few weeks,” Stephen said.
When the doctor asked if Stephen was aware of the type of tasks in the program, he replied: “Yes, but I did not know that I would definitely be injured.” Then Stephen seemed to become heated and spoke louder, repeating twice: “I can't get hurt.”
When the doc filled in the “employees” — aka the former Special Forces agents who run the show — they said they thought Steven was looking for an “excuse” and then fired him from the show, saying, “No.” 5, You have failed this course and you have failed yourself. He goes.”
Then the voiceover confirmed: “Just one day after selection, actor Stephen Baldwin was the first recruit to leave the course.”
Stephen previously spoke to Us Weekly about his filming of the show, noting that he faced “multiple breaking points” during production.
“I had some challenges with my asthma, and it became very real, very quickly,” he said.
