Bill Murray says that “being deadly” misconduct was “light” and “funny”

Bill Murray opens onto the consequences of Be mortal Set complaints that forced the film to cancel and left it “barbecue”.

In 2022, production on the film focused on Aziz Ansari was suspended after a crew member filed a complaint against Murray. Three years later, the actor-comedian explained that the alleged incident involved a masked kiss that he “thought it was funny”.

“I was wearing a mask, and I gave her a kiss, and she wore a mask,” he said in a profile on Saturday with the New York Times. “It was not like I touch She, but it was right, I gave her a kiss through a mask. And she was not a stranger.

THE Ghosterbusters Star pointed out that the altercation listed in the complaint occurred with “someone with whom I worked, with whom I had lunch on the days of the week.” Although he was not sure of “what prompted me to do it”, he added that it happened when “we were all blocked in this single piece while listening to this crazy scene”.

In addition, Murray defended his actions, quoting the event as “something I had done to someone else before”. He added: “I thought it was funny, and every time it happened, that was funny.”

“It was a great disappointment because I thought I knew someone, and I did not do it,” he said. “I certainly thought it was light. I thought it was funny. For me, it’s always funny, the idea you could give someone to someone with a mask. It’s always stupid. That’s all. ”

Be mortal was supported by Searchlight Films, a production company belonging to Disney. Murray has cited the support of the film since the big mouse and their “pre -existing conditions” as a reason why Be mortal arrested the production and was finally unfinished.

“It always bothers me because this film was arrested by human rights or” H&R “of the Disney Corporation,” he said. “It turned out that there were pre -existing conditions and all this kind of thing. I’m like, what? How was someone supposed to know something like that? There was no conversation, there was nothing. There was no creation of peace, nothing. ”

Once the production was suspended, Murray said that they “went to this crazy arbitration”, while recommending that “if someone never suggests that you go to arbitration: don’t. Never do it. Because you think it’s justice, and that is not the case. ” Although it was about three years that the controversy occurred, Murry said that he did not “spend too many days or weeks without thinking about what happened Be mortal. “”
