we’re looking at real life moments the
legendary actor experienced with
ordinary people and fellow celebrities
alike but we’ll be excluding anything
where we can’t find video footage or
photographic evidence so don’t expect to
hear that famous story of Murray
stealing a french fry off of someone’s
plate and whispering no one will ever
believe you number 10 skydiving at the
Chicago airshow Bill Murray
loves his hometown of Chicago so much so
that he’ll jump out of an airplane to
prove it at the 50th anniversary of the
Chicago air and water show he joined the
Army’s Golden Knights who had previously
sky dived with former President George
HW Bush in a tandem jump landing on
North Avenue beach but it wasn’t just
devotion to the city that motivated the
oscar-nominated actor his jump was also
in support of USO Illinois a group that
helps wounded War veterans the best part
for fans of course was Murray’s calm
cool and collected face on the ground on
the plane and flying through the air
number nine performing Gloria I’m gonna
play for the one song that I can’t play
on a guitar he’s famous for his acting
and his antics but Bill Murray has also
on several occasions shared his singing
with the world his guitar playing well
that’s another story he knows only one
song on guitar or at least that’s what
he told the crowd at the 2007 Crossroads
Guitar Festival before launching into
his rendition of the Van Morrison hit
Gloria
while the crowd was definitely into a
singing and best effort on guitar he
didn’t have to carry the whole song by
himself for long legendary guitarist
Eric Clapton emerged from backstage
right after the first chorus to play
with Murray and take the lead long
enough to finish off the song number 8
karaoke when you hear Bill Murray and
karaoke you probably think of the famous
karaoke scene from lost in translation
[Music]
in 2011 though a group of friends who
had rented a room in a New York City
karaoke bar got the live version they
saw that Murray was also in the bar and
invited him to join them the star
accepted along with two women and
remained part of the group until closing
during that time he belted out some
Elvis tunes sang duets and even took it
in stride when the group joked about
picking the Ghostbusters theme number 7
conducting the Cornell big red band to
say that Bill Murray is a sports fan is
quite the understatement he’s a fan of
pro teams and college teams alike in
2011 he attended a college football game
between Cornell University and Harvard
in secret once the game ended and
Cornell’s big red band took the field
Murray shed his anonymity and
spontaneously became their conductor mom
at least he acted like he was conducting
them while waving a red jacket over his
head at one point though Murray and the
band really seemed to be in sync the
football crowd of course loved it but
who wouldn’t love a surprise Bill Murray
performance number 6 crashing a bachelor
party when you get advice from Bill
Murray you remember it for the rest of
your life
in 2014
Murray decided to join a total strangers
bachelor party and give a speech
offering some words of wisdom not for
the groom who had already made up his
mind but for his friends when you find
that someone special travel around the
world with them first
including the places that are hard to
get into and out of and if you’re still
in love with them when you land marry
them when you land in JFK you’re still
in love with that person it’s advice
that only Bill Murray could give and
possibly only someone in Murray’s
position could follow but it’s extremely
memorable nonetheless number five rain
delay
Bill Murray isn’t just part owner of the
Charleston RiverDogs he’s also their
unofficial director of fun he showed
just what that title means in 2012 when
the New York Yankees affiliated Class A
baseball team was experiencing a rain
delay when the tarp covered the field
Murray swung into action first by
running on it and then using it as his
very own giant slip and slide before
heading to the team’s dugout and
high-fiving those he passed to the vocal
delight of the crowd now that’s some
team spirit number four no autographs as
a celebrity who clearly enjoys
interacting with fans
you’d think Bill Murray would be happy
signing an autograph when asked
sometimes though an autograph just isn’t
enough and he’ll go the extra mile
that’s what filmmaker David Walton found
out when Murray agreed to appear in a
trailer for a fake film about walking
down a hallway in slow motion called
lay Cena asked well this is clearly a
very nice gesture on Murray’s part we’d
also kind of like to see this fake film
turned into a real feature number three
Bill Murray and Clint Eastwood rock out
sometimes Bill Murray isn’t the only
celebrity in a Bill Murray moment on
stage at a private function during the
2012 AT&T pro-am golf tournament the
band coaxed Murray and fellow acting
legend Clint Eastwood on stage to sing
brandy you’re a fine girl by 70s band
looking glass
[Music]
Marie knew the song because of course he
did and he jumped right into it
[Music]
Eastwood on the other hand didn’t know
the lyrics and said so on stage
that didn’t stop Marie from trying to
get the Dirty Harry star to join in and
he eventually succeeded in getting Clint
to sing one line number two bartending
at South by Southwest when a story
starts with Bill Murray hanging with
members of the wu-tang clan you know
it’s gonna be a great one well in 2010
Bill Murray was hanging with members of
the wu-tang clan in the shangri-la bar
at the South by Southwest festival in
Austin Texas then all of a sudden he was
behind the bar serving drinks
the only explanation being because he’s
Bill Murray according to the bartender
who was officially working Murray would
take people’s drink orders and no matter
what they’d asked for would hand them a
shot of tequila before we unveil our
number-one pick here are some honorable
mentions
[Music]
the memory issue used to harbor decided
to retire to the southern hemisphere of
the green
number one cubs locker room after World
Series win
Bill Murray isn’t just a lifelong
Chicago Cubs fan you could argue that
he’s their number one fan as he is
undoubtedly their top celebrity
supporter in 2016 when the Cubs broke
one of the longest droughts in all of
professional sports to win the World
Series Murray was of course in
attendance
Fox Sports who were airing the game
decided to make Murray their
correspondent in the locker room
interviewing the victorious team the
Cubs president of baseball operations
Theo Epstein even sprayed Murray with
champagne mom Murray admitted the
celebratory beverage burned his eyes a
bit he clearly was having the time of
his life
