HOLLYWOOD, CALIFORNIA – MARCH 27: Bill Murray attends the 94th Annual Academy Awards at Hollywood and Highland on March 27, 2022 in Hollywood, California. Following an explosive report this week that Bill Murray paid out more than $100,000 to settle a claim of alleged sexual misconduct on the set of his latest film, “Being Mortal,” more people who have worked with the actor have come forward with stories about how he was rude, cruel or unprofessional on film or TV sets.
Green said the comedy star picked him up and dangled him by his ankles over a trash can when he saw the boy sitting on the arm of a chair “and made a big fuss about me being in his seat,” ET reported. It’s not clear what year this alleged incident happened, although Murray twice hosted “SNL” in 1981 and 1987.
“And I go, ‘Are you this much of a jerk? You’re this rude to tell a 9-year-old to get out of your … what is this power play?’” Green recalled. That’s when, Green said, the disagreement became physical. “‘You be a pro, right?'” Green recalled Murphy and Kuzurinsky saying, according to ET. “The show must go on. You be a pro. You’re a pro, right?'” Green pretended to wipe away tears and said, “I was like, ‘I am a pro. I’m a pro.'”
Schneider claimed Murray especially loathed Adam Sandler and the late Chris Farley, who were on the show at the time, the Post reported. “He hated Chris Farley with a passion,” said Schneider. “Like he was just seething looking at him.” Murray later admitted in an interview with CNBC that he engaged in behavior on the set of “Being Mortal” that he thought was “funny, and it wasn’t taken that way,” Deadline reported.
