Searchlight Pictures last month suspended production on '"Being Mortal," Aziz Ansari's directorial debut, over a complaint filed against star Bill Murray.

It’s important for me to figure it out, and I think the most important thing is that it’s best for the other person.” “You know, the world is different than it was when I was a little kid,” he said. “What I always thought was funny as a little kid isn’t necessarily the same as what’s funny now. “I had a difference of opinion with a woman I’m working with,” Murray told CNBC. “I did something I thought was funny and it wasn’t taken that way. And I would not stand down, and nor should I have.” “Being Mortal,” based on surgeon Atul Gawande’s book of the same name, is comedian Aziz Ansari’s directorial feature debut.

What exactly did Bill Murray say? The actor is currently caught up in some controversy after statements that he made upset his co-stars.

The last Bill spoke on that matter was in a 2009 interview where he said "Look, I will dismiss you completely if you are unprofessional and working with me." As investigations into the situation and peace talks between Bill and the other concerned parties continue, production on Being Mortal is halted indefinitely. Although the situation with Bill may come as a shock to some, this isn't the first time his behavior has come into question. Bill then referred to the situation as being like "a really sad puppy that can’t learn anymore. Bill did not provide the name of the woman in question. While attending the Berkshire Hathaway annual shareholder meeting in Omaha, Ne., Bill spoke with CNBC about the situation and his candid thoughts on it all.

I did something I thought was funny, and it wasn't taken that way," the 71-year-old actor and comedian said of his behavior.

It is slated to release in 2023, but it remains unclear if Murray will continue with the project, CNBC reports. I don’t want to be that sad dog, and I have no intention of it.” And I think the most important thing is that it’s best for the other person. We like each other, I think, and if we can’t really get along and trust each other, there’s no point in going further working together or making the movie as well. “I did something I thought was funny and it wasn’t taken that way,” he told the outlet. Murray did not name the female colleague who had objected his behavior, nor did he provide further explanation of what exactly happened on set.

"I did something I thought was funny, and it wasn't taken that way," the actor said in a recent interview about what happened on the set of Being Mortal.

“I was furious and outraged at the time, but having produced a dozen movies, I can safely say it is not common behavior.” In the wake of the production pause, Page Six reported that an anonymous source said that Murray had been very “hands-on touchy” with a woman on set. Bill Murray spoke out over the weekend in his first public remarks since production on his upcoming film was halted following a complaint that he’d behaved inappropriately towards a woman on set.

Actor Bill Murray recently addressed and confirmed reports that his current production Being Mortal was suspended by the studio following an inappropriate ...

I really think that’s a really sad puppy that can’t learn anymore. And I feel like if I don’t, if I don’t see that — you know the world’s different than it was when I was a little kid. But just more awareness makes more — it just compounds the interest as these kids say,” he concluded. I think it’s a sad dog that can’t learn anymore. SO they wanted to check it all out, investigate it and so they stopped the production,” he continued. What I always thought was funny as a little kid isn’t necessarily the same as what’s funny now.

"I did something I thought was funny, and it wasn't taken that way," the actor says about a complaint filed on set.

"Everyone walked off the production and flew back to LA ,and it only resumed after Disney hired some bodyguards to physically separate my dad and Bill Murray in between takes," Ben wrote. Unrelated to the "Being Mortal" incident, a much older allegation was unearthed against the actor. The "Lost in Translation" actor chalked up the interaction to miscommunication and different interpretations of his behavior. So, they wanted to check it all out and investigate it and so they stopped the production. Ben tweeted that Murray had a meltdown after film producer Laura Ziskin, who passed away in 2011, denied his request to take an extra day off. A letter sent to the cast and crew members disclosed an on-set complaint filed just a week prior but refrained from delving into the specifics.

Bill Murray acknowledged in an interview over the weekend with CNBC that Searchlight Pictures suspended production of his newest flick, “Being Mortal,” ...

“Bill was going through a difficult time in his personal life, and he and my dad were not seeing eye to eye on the tone of the film,” Violet Ramis Stiel wrote in “Ghostbuster’s Daughter: Life With My Dad, Harold Ramis,” which wasexcerpted in 2018by People magazine. “I was furious and outraged at the time, but having produced a dozen movies, I can safely say it is not common behavior.” Murray did not comment on these allegations at the time. - Actor Richard Dreyfuss, who co-starred with Murray in the 1991 movie “What About Bob,” saidin a 2019 interviewthat Murray behaved like “an Irish drunken bully” on the set and once threw an ashtray at him. - In 1978, Murray and Chevy Chase, the SNL castmate he was hired to replace, got into a fistfight when Chase returned to the show as a guest host. “He and his wife made loving parents, and they are committed to the best interests of their children.” “When our relationship is professional, and you’re not getting that done, forget it.” “Bill also threatened to throw me across the parking lot and then broke my sunglasses and threw them across the parking lot,” she said. “It’s not just a show business thing,” he said. He has a very active imagination.” “I stood up for myself, and I don’t regret it,” Liu said later. Murray, who is 71, did not identify the woman or go into detail about what he did, but said, “We are talking and we are trying to make peace with each other.” Searchlight Pictures has not identified the woman and told NBC News they could not comment on their investigation.
