Bill Murray caught on camera snapping at pushy fan

Just one day after he made headlines for forcibly kissing Naomi Watts on TV, Bill Murray has been filmed snapping at a fan out in public.

Bill Murray is having a week.

Just one day after the US actor copped backlash for forcibly kissing co-star Naomi Watts on TV, Murray has been filmed snapping at a pushy fan in a heated public encounter.

In a video going viral on X, the Ghostbusters star, 74, could be seen being hounded by someone in what appeared to be a shopping centre, before the fan stood on Murray’s foot.

An incensed Murray turned around and yelled, “You attack me like that again, I’ll step on your foot,” as he pointed his finger at the unidentified person.

Bill Murray has been filmed snapping at a fan.

The actor accused the fan of “assault” for stepping on his foot.

Security intervened, ushering Murray away as the actor accused the fan of “assault”, before repeatedly saying, “Don’t do it again.”

The video has been viewed more than two million times on social media as of Friday morning.

User reaction to the clip is fairly mixed, with some levelling the blame at the fan for getting in Murray’s space.

Others, however, thought Murray overreacted.

“You got your foot nudged in a crowd and called it assault? Be serious,” one wrote.

“Grumpy old bird. he’s lucky anyone interested in following him at all,” another added.

“Bill Murray is hilarious but he’s also a known POS. Not surprised he’d act like this,” a third said.

It comes after Murray’s actions on US talk show Watch What Happens Live earlier this week were dubbed “gross” and “humiliating”, after he grabbed Watts’ face and planted a kiss on her.

The awkward moment came during the nightly fan Q&A when a caller asked the Australian actress to name the “best onscreen kiss” of her career.

Before Watts was able to answer, Murray proceeded to lean over, pull her head back and kiss her on the mouth.

Afterwards, he gave a thumbs-up to the camera.

Watts, 56, appeared to take it in relatively good fun, telling Murray, “You’ve got lipstick on your face.”

“Did I go red?” Watts asked, with Murray quipping, “That was too easy.”

Watts ultimately did answer the fan’s question.

“Well, of course, it’s Billy Crudup, my husband,” she said.

Murray and Watts were on Watch What Happens Live to promote their new movie The Friend, which comes a decade after they first starred together in St. Vincent.
