The figure of Bill Murray as a “likable” actor It has been diluted in recent years due to behind-the-scenes controversies that some of its detractors have recounted. Especially in the case of her fellow actresses. One of her first was Lucy Liuwho talked about episodes very unpleasant with the actor Ghostbusters during the filming of Charlie’s Angels. Later, the Asian interpreter assured that everything was forgotten and that luckily, there was no problem. However, the one who doesn’t seem to forget how bad it made him go through her collaborations is Geena Davis. the protagonist of Thelma y Louise has spoken again to recount more anecdotes of Murray’s inappropriate behavior.
Davis already spoke pejoratively of his work with the Oscar nominee in With the cops on the heelsa tape that Murray co-directed with Howard Franklin, but now he has inferred (and a lot) in an interview for the podcast On with Kara Swisherwhere he has explained in detail the moment in which the actor said that he wanted to try a massage device with her: “I tell him ‘no, no, no, thanks,’ and he goes with it. And I keep saying ‘no’ to the point where I would have had to yell ‘stop fucking asking me! , I’m not going to do it, do you understand?’”. However, far from answering that, Davis argued that she felt too shy to do it, so she finally sat on the corner of the bed and let him use the massage machine. She “she did her for a second and didn’t ask me if I liked it or anything. So I realized that she just wanted to see if she could make me do something inappropriate, ”the Oscar winner argued for the accidental tourist.
Apparently, the fact of putting it to the test during that filming was something contrasted by the protagonist of the film herself. She kept saying that during a break she entered her dressing room yelling at her saying “Get out of there! What the hell is he doing? Move on! Move on!”. “There were hundreds of people watching and he kept going and going until he said ‘stop right there’ and pointed to a mark on the pavement and started rolling. Talking about it is still very embarrassing for me, I felt very ashamed.”Davis finished explaining.
Geena Davis has two brand new projects ahead of her in 2023, Fairyland y Pussy Island, the directorial debut of actress Zoë Kravitz. On the other hand, Murray will premiere her career at the UCM on February 17 with Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania.
