The ultimate set chaos
Real talk: we all know the Ghostbusters are legendary, but Dan Aykroyd just confirmed the cast had main character energy even when the cameras weren't rolling. In a sweet Instagram tribute for Bill Murray’s 76th birthday, Aykroyd spilled the tea on a wild night they had while filming Ghostbusters II.
Turns out, the duo decided to "appropriate" two fully equipped police motorcycles from the movie’s motor pool. For an entire hour, they were just out there living their best lives, chasing each other around a closed Central Park with all the lights and sirens blaring. Did they face any consequences? Obviously not—it's the Ghostbusters. As Aykroyd put it, "No consequences."
A legendary friendship
These two icons go way back to the '70s when they were just starting their comedy careers and both joined Saturday Night Live. Their chemistry is top-tier, and Aykroyd clearly has nothing but love for the "Murricane," calling him "the greatest comedy leading man of our time."
It’s not the first time we’ve heard about their iconic connection. Aykroyd previously shared that while they were only halfway through filming the original Ghostbusters in 1984, Murray was already certain the film would be a massive cultural phenomenon. When Aykroyd asked how he could be so sure, Murray just said, "I know." His instincts really do be hitting different.
Why it matters
It’s a wholesome reminder that even the biggest stars in Hollywood are capable of lowkey chaotic behavior. This peek behind the curtain of the Ghostbusters franchise shows exactly why this cast's bond remains a pop-culture staple decades later—the vibes were clearly immaculate from day one.
