About a week after filming stopped due to a complaint against Bill Murray (71), the actor spoke publicly about the incident for the first time.
"I did something that I thought was funny, but it didn't go over well," the "Ghostbusters" star said in an interview with US broadcaster CNBC.
He and his colleague would talk to each other and try to "make peace."
He hopes to restore mutual trust.
This incident was very instructive for him, Murray continued.
»The world has changed since I was a child.
What I always found funny as a small child is no longer funny today,” the industry service “Hollywood Reporter” quotes the actor as saying.
"Things change and times change, so it's important for me to find out."
Murray said "what would make me happiest" would be if both he and the woman "were able to go back to work and trust each other and work on the work that we've both given a lot of time to do to have."
Filming on the "Being Mortal" project was halted on April 21 after Murray complained of "inappropriate behavior," the New York Times quoted as saying from a letter from the production company.
It was initially unclear what the allegations against Murray were about.
The name of the woman involved was not given.
Murray was set to star in Being Mortal.
The film is based on the non-fiction book of the same name by Atul Gawande.
In the title he describes his experiences as a doctor and shows how doctors and patients deal with incurable diseases.
The film adaptation is directed by actor Aziz Ansari.
Filming has been going on since the end of March, 30 days of shooting were planned.
In addition to Murray, Seth Rogan and Keke Palmer are also involved.
