Bill Murray Says He Was ‘Barbecued’ for ‘Being Mortal’ Inappropriate Misconduct

Bill Murray discussed the 'inappropriate behavior' he was accused of during 'Being Mortal,' which led to the film's suspension.

In a conversation discussing his new movie The Friend with The New York Times, Murray was asked about the parallels between Walter, the film’s character he portrays, and his own experience with both of them being accused of “inappropriate misconduct.” When asked if he thought about that, Murray said, “I don’t go too many days or weeks without thinking of what happened in Being Mortal.” In Murray’s interview with The Times, he detailed some of the specifics of what happened, saying that he had been “trying to make peace, but instead I ended up being, to my mind, barbecued.” Murray said the incident still bothers him since the film was indefinitely suspended shortly after and “that movie was stopped by the human rights or ‘H & R’ of the Disney corporation, which is probably a little bit more strident than some other countries’.”
