Bill Murray’s Shame from doing Garfield A Tale of Two Kitties is self-evident
Unable to handle the shame from lending his voice to not one but two equally horrible Garfield movies, Bill Murray drunkenly took it out on the streets of Stockholm. After a few brilliant turns in Rushmore, Lost in Translation and Broken Flowers, Murray took a big artistic step backwards by voicing the CGI version of the lasagna-loving fat cat. But he did manage to redeem himself on Sunday, not by being pulled over in Los Angeles in a BMW but instead in Sweden in a golf cart.
Swedish cops say they stopped the 56-year-old Murray in the slow-moving vehicle and noticed the smell of alcohol on his breath. “He refused to blow in the (breath test) instrument, citing American legislation,” the police told the AP. “So we applied the old method — a blood test. It will take 14 days before the results are in.” In the meantime, enjoy the lutefisk!
Murray, who had been at a golf tournament in Sweden, signed a document admitting that he was driving under the influence, and agreed to let a police officer plead guilty for him if the case goes to court.
But this isn’t the first time Murray has pulled an esoteric stunt after staring in a piece of shit. Apparently 1993’s stinker Mad Dog and Glory caused him to eat 17 boxes of Frankenberry atop a ski lift in Vail. And after Ghostbusters 2 a binge of Push-pops and Wild Turkey in Dubuque. But perhaps the worst case was 1984’s Nothing Lasts Forever, which Murray made up for by making The Razor’s Edge (shudder).
