Where there’s a Willis, there’s a way.Bill Murray has recalled the “insane” chore actor Bruce Willis was tasked with on “Saturday Night Live” before he secured his big break and became a Hollywood icon.During an appearance on “Watch What Happens Live” Monday, Murray recalled a time when the “Die Hard” actor worked behind the scenes of the NBC sketch comedy series.“Bruce Willis was a page at NBC when I was on ‘Saturday Night Live.’ This sounds like insane s–t, [but] his job was to come and go to the dressing rooms and refill the M&Ms and pretzels in the actors’ rooms,” Murray said of Willis’ humble beginnings.“I remember when I met him after he was already a successful guy, he said you and Gilda [Radner] were nice to me,” the “Ghostbusters” star told host Andy Cohen.After landing his big break in Hollywood, Willis went on to host “SNL” in 1989 and 2013.During a “Plead the Fifth” segment on the show, Murray was asked to list some of Wes Anderson’s films from most to least favorite, given his longtime collaboration with the director.“Well, ‘Grand Budapest Hotel’ was really all the professional, technical aspects of it– really incredible,” said Murray, who has appeared in a total of nine Wes Anderson films.“For me, ‘Life Aquatic’ [with Steve Zissou] was the most challenging, hard job that I ever had. It almost cost me my life and my personal life.”“‘Moonrise Kingdom’ was a really beautiful, lovely film.
