Bill Murray thought about Ghostbusters cameo "for years"

Having been resistant for many years, it came as something of a surprise last month when it was finally confirmed that Bill Murray would be making a cameo appearance in Paul Feig’s Ghostbusters reboot. However, according to Murray, once Feig and his cast were in place, the decision became a lot easier.

“I like those girls a lot,” said Murray to Vulture. “I mean, I really do. They are tough to say no to. And Paul is a real nice fellow.” Not only that, but it had also crossed Murray’s mind that his non-involvement might hinder the film’s progress… “I thought about it for a very long time. Like, many, many months. No, that’s not right. I was seriously thinking about this for years, really… It kept eating at me, and I really respect those girls. And then I started to feel like if I didn’t do this movie, maybe somebody would write a bad review or something, thinking there was some sort of disapproval [on my part].”
