8. Bill Murray Antagonised Lucy Liu - Charlie's Angels
If you ever got around to watching the Charlie's Angels cinematic reboot featuring Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore and Lucy Liu as the feisty trio of the title, you'll also recall that none other than Bill Murray served as their loyal friend and assistant John Bosley. Despite its cheery charm, though, the set of the movie was a reportedly turbulent place, given that Murray took a dislike to Lucy Liu. During one scene, even, he insulted her to such a degree that she ended up throwing punches at the Groundhog Day star. According to the legend, Murray turned to Liu and said:
"I get why youre here, and youve got talent... but what in the hell are you doing here? You cant act!
And this, apparently, wasn't the first time that Murray had pulled Liu up on her acting talents - he had been berating her for quite some time across the span of the production for being unprofessional. Still, it seems a little ungentlemanly to go about it how Bill did.
