Bill Murray has a knack for making his fans happy by turning up to surprise them and his latest generosity helped an ice-cream maker meet his idol.
When Joe Nicchi, who owns an ice-cream truck, heard that Murrey was shooting 'Rock the Kasbah' in the neighbourhood, he decided to try his luck.
Nicchi parked his truck near the shooting place and announced that he was hosting a 'Bill Murray Ice Cream Social' and would serve free ice-cream. To his surprise, Nicchi ended up serving a cone to the 'Lost In Translation' star, reported People magazine.
"Word got out, people from the crew and the neighborhood were wandering over and eventually (Murray) came by. He asked me what I recommended and I said a (chocolate and vanilla) twist with sea salt," Nicchi told the magazine.
"He was so complimentary, he even tried to pay me but I refused to take money from him. I said, 'I just wanted to meet you, you're my inspiration' and he was so receptive and so nice," Nicchi says.
Murray, 63, is famous for randomly crashing strangers' parties to the delight of his fans.
