▲And was notably intoxicated.

▲At a 2008 party in Brooklyn, Murray walked in quite late, danced a little, drank some beer, and reportedly talked to the host at length about sweet potato casserole.

▲Autographs are boring and impersonal to Murray, so instead of giving some guys his signature, he filmed a slow-motion walk down a hallway with them, and it looks epic.

▲In 1988, Murray was swimming when a Beverly Hills housewife, dressed in fur and jewelry, asked him for his autograph. He agreed, but told her he’d throw her into the pool after he signed. She laughed, brushing it off. He gave her the autograph, and then he really did it.
