00:00Bill Murray sharing a story I did not know about Bruce Willis, and Bill was on Watch
00:08What Happens Live last night, and he started to talk to Andy Cohen about a movie that he
00:14and Bill Murray did together.
00:16It came out in 2012, it's called Moonrise Kingdom, and clearly Bill wanted to say some
00:23really kind things about Bruce Willis, and he shared a story about Bruce before he was
00:28ever famous.
00:31I guess you could say this is his first job in showbiz, but this is what Bill said, and
00:36you can hear in his voice, he's getting kind of choked up thinking about what Bruce Willis
00:41is going through.
00:42Moonrise Kingdom was a really beautiful, lovely film, and I got to work with and have a wonderful
00:48time with Bruce Willis.
00:50We should remember today he just had a birthday.
00:53Bruce Willis is a good guy, a good guy, and he was a good friend, and really always understood.
01:02Bruce Willis was a page at NBC when I was on Saturday Night Live, and I remember when
01:08I met him after he was already a successful guy, he said, you and Gilda were nice to me.
01:13I thought, okay, and that's, I always thought, okay, I'm good with this guy, but he was a
01:22good guy.
01:23Of course, we know Bruce Willis is dealing with aphasia, and he's losing his memory,
01:28and we've seen the tributes from his family members who are posting about their love for
01:33him, and that's top of mind for Bill Murray.
01:37That's a great, great story, and it's that thing they always say, it's like, be kind
01:42to people.
01:43You never know, and Bill got that moment with Bruce Willis later in the career, that's great.
