The 71-year-old appears to have done something that led to a halt to filming of the movie ‘Being Mortal’ after a complaint was filed against him. Exactly what that was, however, is still not clear.
About a week after filming stopped due to a complaint against Bill Murray (71), the actor spoke publicly about the incident for the first time.
“I did something that I thought was funny, but it didn’t go over well,” the “Ghostbusters” star said in an interview with US broadcaster CNBC on Saturday. He and his colleague would talk to each other and try to “make peace”. He hopes to restore mutual trust. This incident was very instructive for him, Murray continued.
Filming on the “Being Mortal” project was halted on April 21 after Murray complained of “inappropriate behavior,” the New York Times quoted as saying from a letter from the production company. It was initially unclear what the allegations against Murray were about. The name of the woman involved was not given.
“Being Mortal” is the directorial debut of US actor Aziz Ansari (“Master of None”), based on the bestselling non-fiction book of the same name by doctor Atul Gawande. In addition to Murray, Seth Rogan and Keke Palmer are also involved.
