Bill Murray finally admits his biggest Hollywood regret

Bill Murray regrets turning down the chance given to him of working with Clint Eastwood.

The Riff Raff star appeared on The Howard Stern Show and spilled the beans about his conversation with Eastwood, 94, regarding a possible team-up because according to him, the Million Dollar Baby actor gave his on-screen sidekicks “a great part” and “a great death scene”.

But, Eastwood was up with an “enormous” Navy idea and Murray was not ready to do another military movie after release of the 1981 Army-based film Stripes.

"When he said, 'Would you ever want to do another service comedy?' like jeez, 'Would I become like (comedy duo) Abbott and Costello?'" Murray remarked. "I had to do like military movies? And I said, 'Well, God, I guess maybe I shouldn't.'"

The On The Rocks actor was not happy about his decision afterwards.

"It's one of the few regrets I have is that I didn't do it. Because it was a big-scale thing, and I would have gotten a great - I don't know if I'd have gotten a great death scene, it was more of a comedy that one - but it was great," he admitted. "He had access to World War II boats and he could have like made a flotilla and stuff, and there was some cool stuff in it."

For the unversed, Bill Murray and Clint Eastwood are both veteran actors having been in the industry for decades.
