Bill Murray Opens Up About On-Set Kiss That Shut Down Film: I Felt 'Barbecued'

The actor said he doesn't "go too many days or weeks without thinking" about the scandal surrounding his behavior on the set of Aziz Ansari's "Being Mortal."

Bill Murray has revealed that he’s still bothered by an on-set kiss that sparked a sexual misconduct allegation in 2022.

The actor recently told The New York Times that he doesn’t “go too many days or weeks without thinking” about what happened while shooting “Being Mortal,” which was set to be Aziz Ansari’s feature directorial debut before production was suspended after a complaint about Murray’s behavior.

“I tried to make peace. I thought I was trying to make peace. I ended up being, to my mind, barbecued,” said Murray, who appeared to confirm a previous report that he kissed a crew member on the mouth while they wore face masks.

He added that he isn’t sure what “prompted” him to kiss the crew member, who was reportedly “much younger” than him.

“It’s something that I had done to someone else before, and I thought it was funny, and every time it happened, it was funny,” Murray told the Times.
