Director Wes Anderson is standing by his longtime collaborator Bill Murray in the wake of recent misconduct claims aimed at the actor.
In April 2022, filming on Aziz Ansari’s directorial debut, “Being Mortal,” was shut down after Murray was reportedly accused of exhibiting inappropriate behavior on set.
Speaking with CNBC following the shutdown, Murray called the incident “a difference of opinion.” He suggested the on-set complaint arose out of a misunderstanding over an intended joke and expressed his hope that the situation would soon be resolved.
