The star’s career remains in a ‘kind of purgatory’ over his alleged actions with a female staffer on the set of ‘Being Mortal,’ a report says.
Bill Murray waits to hit from the first tee of the Monterey Peninsula Country Club Shore Course during the first round of the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am golf tournament Thursday. Try as Bill Murray might, including paying out a reported six-figure settlement, the actor hasn’t been able to make up for the fact that his alleged “inappropriate behavior” on the set of the film “Being Mortal” led to the production being halted in April.
What Murray allegedly thought funny was recounted to Puck writer Eriq Gardner, who noted that the actor has attained the status as a sort of “secular saint,” known to the general public for his cross-generational appeal. On the other hand, Hollywood insiders apparently have gotten to know Murray in another way, with the beloved comedy iconfor being rude and mean to strangers, co-stars, directors and intimate partners, according to reports over the years.
As Murray said in his CNBC interview, he thought he was being funny, but the woman interpreted his actions “as entirely sexual,” Gardner said. She was “horrified” and filed a complaint, as did another staffer who witnessed the incident, Gardner added. “Being Mortal” is based on the non-fiction book about end-of-life care by physician and New Yorker writer Atul Gawande. The book was adapted for the screen by Aziz Ansari, who was making his directorial debut. Ansari incidentally dealt with his own “controversially borderline”Gardner noted. “Being Mortal,” which also stars Seth Rogen, was due for release in 2023.
