Margaret Qualley Once Tried To Set Up Her Mum Andie MacDowell With This Former Co-Star

Margaret QualleyMargaret Qualley has revealed that she tried to set up her mother, Andie MacDowell, on a date with her former Groundhog Day co-star Bill Murray.On Thursday, Margaret made an appearance on The Tonight Show, on the same night Bill performed with Pedrito Martínez Group, and used a game of Truth Or Dare with host Jimmy Fallon to spill on her backstage encounter with the Saturday Night Live icon, who was wearing a Piggly Wiggly supermarket shirt.She explained: “I grew up in North Carolina and Piggly Wiggly’s a Southern thing... I find out he’s living in Charleston, [South Carolina], my mum’s living in Charleston...”Margaret then began to laugh as she recalled Bill telling her that he and her mum “didn’t get along so good” during the making of Groundhog Day, which hit theateres well over a year before Margaret was born in 1994.“He was like, ‘You know, she took a long time to get her hair done and she didn’t know her lines this one time,’ and I was like, ‘Yeah, well, I heard a different story sir’,” Margaret remarked.She added that she began to put “two and two together” as Andie and Bill now live in the same city and, despite showing a sort of “rage” toward each other, she thought the Ghostbusters actor may be trying to make amends.“And I’m like, ‘She’s single. He’s single. They’re both crazy. Let’s get it together!’” declared Margaret to Jimmy Fallon’s delight.She noted that she told Bill he could “circle back” with her if he’d like to get in touch with her mum.“If he’s got any sense at all, he’d be the luckiest guy in the world!” said Margaret, adding that she hoped Bill was “listening” to the interview.Groundhog Day notably had its share of challenges as Bill Murray and director Harold Ramis, a longtime collaborator, clashed on set and had a falling out.The two eventually reconciled shortly before Harold Ramis’ death in 2014.In 2023, producer Trevor Albert told The Hollywood Reporter that it was a “tense” shoot and therefore “less fun to make” due to the rift.“But you can still make a very good movie when people are not in perfect harmony,” he added.Andie, nonetheless, has talked highly of her time on set with Bill, once describing him as a “jerk” who can still make you laugh and recalling her commitment to playing an “honest” character in news producer Rita Hanson opposite of Bill’s sarcastic yet likable character in Phil Connors.In January, Andie told Jimmy Fallon about a time when Bill drove off with her in the car and left the set entirely.“I said, ‘What are we doing, Bill?’ He goes, ‘We’re going to go for a drive.’ I was like, ‘OK!’ I was so anxious!” said Andie, who described Bill as “fun” but “crazy” earlier in the interview.MORE ENTERTAINMENT NEWS:Sarah Jessica Parker Defends This 1 Controversial Part Of The And Just Like That FinaleThe New Wednesday Trailer Teases Lady Gaga’s Mysterious Character – Did You Spot It?Taylor Swift Breaks A Record Previously Held By Trump, And She Did It In Just An Hour
