Speaking at the Berkshire Hathaway annual meeting of all places, Bill Murray addressed and confirmed the recent controversy around his conduct on the set of Aziz Ansari’s new film, Being Mortal. Appearing apologetic while remaining vague, the actor spoke to CNBC in his first public comments since news broke in April that Searchlight Pictures had sent a letter to the cast and crew of Ansari’s directorial debut, stating that the studio was suspending production indefinitely.
“I had a difference of opinion with a woman I’m working with,” Murray said. “I did something I thought was funny, and it wasn’t taken that way.” No official word had been previously made about what specifically paused production on the film that also stars Keke Palmer, Seth Rogen, and Ansari, although a complaint had been reportedly made against Murray for inappropriate behavior.
