Castmates in Meetings and Disagreements (2003), directed by Sofia Coppola, Scarlett Johansson It is Bill Murray had a “therapeutic” reunion after 10 years.
During podcast interview gooppresented by Gwyneth Paltrow, Johansson opened up about finding Murray unexpectedly after years of filming Meetings and Disagreements. “I didn’t see him for a decade or more. It was a long time. And then I walked into a bar with my ex-boyfriend from a long time ago… and there was only one person in the bar and it was Bill Murray,” remembered.
“It was so weird. I walked in and saw him sitting there – no one else there – and I was like, ‘Oh my God.’ I had to leave,” continued the actress. “I was like, ‘It’s the Bill! I haven’t seen him for so long.’ It had been a decade, more than that. So I thought, ‘Okay, I guess I’ll have to go see what’s going on.'”
It was such an awkward moment. It was like a dream. And so I went there and he was surprised too. It was actually kind of therapeutic. We kind of talked during that time.
Furthermore, Scarlett Johansson remembered how it was filming Meetings and Disagreements with Bill Murray: “I think it was difficult for him too because he had a lot going on with family and marriage. And it was like he also didn’t fully know what we were doing there in Tokyo during those weeks.”
I think his way of dealing with it was to be a bit manic. I don’t know, we had a cathartic experience in that weird bar.
