Honk Honk

[Blind Gossip] This actor has been around for decades.

He started out on TV but transitioned to a very successful career in movies.

Many people find him funny. But not all.

He sometimes engages in behavior that made the women on the set uncomfortable.

One minute you’re just standing there talking and the next he would raise his hands and position them in front of your chest.

The he would make this grabbing motion with his fingers and say, “Honk! Honk!” like he was squeezing two of those old-fashioned car horns.

He seemed to think it was funny.

The women were not nearly as amused as he was. However, they generally didn’t do anything about it.

He’s gross but he’s also the star. If you complain about the star, who do you think they’re going to get rid of, you or him?

    The picture is of a goose/duck making the honk honk sound from its Bill, so yeah, Bill Murray, personally I adore his films and find him hilarious but the behaviour on set is inappropriate and it looks like from his statement he has learnt that, hopefully it’s genuine because it would be a shame for this to tarnish his work at this stage.

    Bill Murray.

    Fred Savage was the first to come to mind, but he was never in very many movies so that doesn’t make sense.

    Bill Murray. Well as a joke this has been done long ago so it is pretty tired yet long ago it wasn’t offensive but in this cancel culture thin skinned era ? The result of all this ? This combined with Will Smith’s pimp hand and I really do think Celebrity Culture is dying . Hollywood and Theaters gone .Maybe films on IPhones streamed remain. Gene Simmons on RocknRoll “ Oh it’s been murdered alright but not by outside forces . We killed RocknRoll “ Same goes for all entertainment culture .

    Fred Savage. Just got fired from the wonder years reboot. This behavior is GROSS no matter how old a male is

    Bill Murray.

    Fred Savage and Frank Langella got fired recently for inappropriate conduct. It’s ok for Will Smith to physically assault another performer on stage, but not ok to be a creeper.

    Bill Murray?

    Not funny whatsoever but I wouldn’t call it gross either. Stupid and juvenile and definitely crossing boundaries. I’d be disappointed at how pathetic that sort of thing is, under some sort of guise of it being a “joke”.

      How about I “honk honk” at his private parts. No, wait, a man would probably enjoy that, which is why some don’t seem to understand it’s not acceptable behavior. I like Bill Murray – he’s funny and a good actor – but dude, please grow up.

    I think this is Bill Murray. There was an article earlier this week where he was apologizing for behavior on set that he thought was funny, but the women on the set were offended.

    Personally, I hate the honking horn thing. I had an ex-boyfriend that would do this and it was so irritating. He thought it was hilarious, though.

    Bill Murray

    Highly inappropriate and definitely gross. I would slap the s* out of him.

    Bill Murray

    Stuff that many considered funny decades ago isn’t really so funny anymore. A lot of my own dad’s ‘humor’ was borderline (?) sexual harassment And as long as it got some laughs, no one really considered how it made people feel who were the target of those jokes…

  22. Conchord says

    It sounds like Jim Carrey.

    I also thought it could be Robin Williams, but the use of “has been around” and “find him funny” (as opposed to “found”) implies it’s someone who is still alive.

  23. gingercat says

    First thought is Bill Murray since he’s been in the news lately for bad behavior on set. I think that the “honking” is stupid and as long as he wasn’t touching, I’d probably just look at him like he was a sad old man.

  26. kittymyers says

    My first thought was William Shatner, but most of work has been on tv.

    • amagod121 says

      I thought it was Bill Shatner at first too but he definitely did not get and stay into movie work alone. And I’m so thankful that this time, at least, it wasn’t him. (Love you, Bill!)

    Bill Murray

    My husband actually met him in a deli in Manhattan about 15 years ago. They spoke for about 5 minutes.

    • amagod121 says

      Agree that it is Bill Murray.

      The “joke” might seem innocent to onlookers but it could be gross to the poor woman to whom he was doing it. I wouldn’t find it funny at all.

  31. luv2guess says

    Gotta be Bill Murray..
    Too broad of a statement- we’re rapidly losing our sense of humor- unless he touched why can’t anyone laugh anymore…

  45. jonty30 says

    That sounds like something that Bill Murray would do.
    He started out on SNL and became a huge movie star.

  46. KayBlu says

    I’m guessing Bill Murray since he has recently admitted to inappropriate behaviour on set.

  48. ILUVCA4evr says

    Bill Murray

    Know your audience, Bill. In this case, in these times, NO, it is not funny. That kind of humor flew in the 70’s, but not now and rightly so. It’s humiliating and juvenile.

  49. mominmo says

    Bill Murray. What rock has he been living under? Or does he just think norms don’t apply to him? Gross and ridiculous.

  50. aaaalwhy says

    I’m going to guess Bill Murray.

    Optional: I think it’s appalling – just gross and tasteless and totally unnecessary for someone who is genuinely funny. WHY would anyone do that? It’s so dumb.

    • aaaalwhy says

      Also, I think if he did that to me, I’d pretend to knee him in the nuts. How funny is that?

  55. Alllie says

    uughhh I was wondering what Bill Murray did. Funny? nah. Horrible sexual harassment worth firing? another nah. If that was me I would roll my eyes and say “focus MF’r, you are at work!”.

    Let it go Elsa, it could be a whole lot worse.

  57. T W Longtime Lurker says

    Bill Murray

    OPTIONAL —> It’s gross. I would complain. If they fire me then I can file unemployment and/or file a lawsuit for sexual harassment & sexual discrimination. I would also be thinking about my career options.

  59. nudibee says

    Bill Murray? He’s recently admitted that he’s done something he thought was funny/OK and then decided in retrospect is not. Hazy on the details though. Said he didn’t want to be “the old dog that couldn’t learn new tricks”.
