Bill Murray discussed an incident from one of his recent movies in a new interview with The New York Times, which led to production halting and a subsequent investigation. Murray previously addressed the incident shortly after it occurred but now says its fallout was worse than he expected.
Murray confirmed allegations that he kissed a crew member on the mouth while wearing a mask during a scene. He claimed it was a joke and had done the same thing before, but said the woman didn’t take it lightly. The production of the film “Being Mortal” was halted due to the incident, which led to an investigation.
The actor also spoke about his interactions with others in the past, saying that some people have unpleasant experiences with him. However, he insists that his behavior is not representative of his usual actions. Murray acknowledged that he learned a lesson from the experience and believes he can teach an old dog new tricks. Despite this, he expressed disappointment over the controversy.
Murray also made headlines recently when Geena Davis accused him of harassment on another film set. However, he denied the rumor, stating it was “outrageous” and never happened. The actor also disputed a report that he threw an ashtray at Richard Dreyfuss during filming.
