\n\t\t\t\t\tThirty-two years after filming on a now-iconic set, Bill Murray says he still bears the mark of a faux pas. Can an apology be enough to make up for what happened back then, when an unexpected voice revives the story on a mischievous note? And what if it hadn\u2019t quite come full circle?\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
Behind Und t\u00e4glich gr\u00fc\u00dft das Murmeltier (Groundhog Day), a cherished crowd-pleasing comedy, things weren\u2019t always light. Bill Murray admits he was rude to Andie MacDowell on set and wants to make amends, decades later. An admission he first broached in 2019 with Collider, now revived by Margaret Qualley who, on Jimmy Fallon, even suggested her mother and the actor might make a couple. Between a beloved film and bruised off-screen ties, the script for a reconciliation is still unwritten.<\/p>\n
Tarnished memories on a cult-classic set<\/p>\n
Bill Murray, a comedy legend, spoke of an emotional scar that has stayed with him for 32 years. It was during the shoot of the cult classic \u201cUnd t\u00e4glich gr\u00fc\u00dft das Murmeltier\u201d (Groundhog Day) that he acknowledges he was particularly rude to Andie MacDowell, his on-screen partner. It\u2019s a behavior he deeply regrets today, enough to seek a late yet sincere reconciliation.<\/p>\n
A shoot marked by tension<\/p>\n
Released in 1993, \u201cUnd t\u00e4glich gr\u00fc\u00dft das Murmeltier\u201d follows the time loop lived by a grumpy weatherman played by Murray. While audiences remember this classic fondly, what happened behind the scenes was far less serene. According to the actor, the atmosphere sometimes tightened, especially between him and Andie MacDowell, a bright counterpoint to his dark humor, who endured his mood swings and an unkind, curt streak.<\/p>\n
Bill Murray: late regrets, candidly owned<\/p>\n
In an interview given in 2019, Murray acknowledged his faults for the first time. He says his attitude was unjustifiable and that he never managed to offer an apology directly to MacDowell. Why the long silence? The weight of regret, embarrassment, awkwardness\u2026 Today, he says he wants to make amends. But will this attempt at reconciliation come too late?<\/p>\n
When threads from the past meet the present<\/p>\n
An unexpected twist, Andie MacDowell\u2019s daughter, Margaret Qualley, revived the anecdote with a light touch. Appearing on Jimmy Fallon, she quipped that two figures as iconic as her mother and Murray would make a \u201ccute couple.\u201d An idea that\u2019s as amusing as it is intriguing, especially in light of the memories that bind the former co-stars.<\/p>\n
The show, life, and everything still to be written<\/p>\n
A singular irony: imagining these two actors, bound by a film about a time loop, trying to rewrite a chapter of their own story. Can apologies awaited for years truly soothe what still hurts? As the shadow of that shoot seems to lift, you can sense what this possible reconciliation might mend, perhaps even inspire. Sometimes, it\u2019s never too late to do the right thing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Thirty-two years after filming on a now-iconic set, Bill Murray says he still bears the mark of a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":136586,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[49,48,361,75],"class_list":{"0":"post-136585","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-celebrities","11":"tag-entertainment"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/136585","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=136585"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/136585\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/136586"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=136585"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=136585"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=136585"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
