Bill Murray Called 'Unalive' for His Look at 72 - He's Proud Dad of 6 Now Yet 'Was Ready to Die' Years Ago

• "Groundhog Day" star Bill Murray was called "unalive" for his look at 72 in a recent photo.
• The actor enjoys his life now at his age after he was "ready to die" years ago. He revealed what stopped him from taking his own life.
• Bill is also a proud father of six sons he loves and supports.

Bill Murray is famous for his roles in "Groundhog Day," "Caddyshack," and "Lost in Translation." He is beloved as a friendly face in many films but recently faced criticism.

A photo of Murray recently surfaced, and fans thought he didn't look his best. Yet Murray has said he is happier now than ever and finds joy in living again.

When Murray was a young comedian starting in the industry, he was suicidal. He revealed this fact in a 2014 interview when he said he wasn't a good comedian, and when he left the first show he did, he walked in the wrong direction.

He said the wrong direction of his walking showed him he was going in the wrong direction in his life, too, and he realized he had no desire to stay alive. He headed to Lake Michigan to end his life as he felt "ready to die."

However, on his way, he stopped at the Art Institute of Chicago and felt called to go inside. Inside the institute, he came across a painting from the early 1880s called “The Song of Lark.”

In interviews since, he has said that since the day he saw it, he has always loved that painting. He shared:

"I saw it that day, and I just thought, 'Well, there's a girl who doesn't have a lot of prospects, but the sun is coming up anyway, and she's got another chance at it.’"

Murray decided then and there that he would not take his own life because he could finally acknowledge that each day the sun came up was another chance for him to get it right. Yet, fans are now criticizing him for appearing not to be alive.

Why Was Murray Called 'Unalive' for His Look, and What is His Life Like Now?

Fans have recently seen Murray out often. His son is the assistant coach for the UConn Huskies, and the comedian attends numerous games to support the team.

Fans have also seen Murray in other public places, where he has also visited with them. One fan saw him at the SkyClub and said that Murray spent time with his daughter and then gushed:

“He visited with Katie and was just a genuinely nice guy.”

Murray always has time to spare for his fans and has often been seen at UConn games taking photos with his fans and talking to them while they support his son’s team. Fans are grateful for their time with him, but some have been more critical.

Last year, Murray was dancing at Limerick City Pub and singing along with the band, yet fans called him “unalive,” “walking death,” and even a “ghost” recently. Yet Murray is simply enjoying his life.

Murray now lives in Charleston, South Carolina, where he co-owns several restaurants. He often spends time at these local restaurants and other pubs in the area.

Apart from his busy schedule co-owning restaurants and watching his one son’s team’s games, he is the doting father of six children, and the comedian loves spending time with each of them when he can.

Who Are Murray’s Kids?

Murray is the father of six sons, one of whom is the assistant coach to the UConn Huskies Men’s Basketball team. His name is Luke, and he is currently in his second season of coaching.

Murray’s oldest son, Homer, is a celebrity chef. He opened a highly successful in Brooklyn, New York, in 2012. It was initially called River Styx but is now known as 21 Greenpoint.

Jackson is one of Murray’s more private children. He has had social media profiles for a while, yet he seems to have deleted them sometime after 2020. Fans know that he often travels with his long-term girlfriend, Elena Mpougas.

Caleb is also private about his life, but police arrested him at a Black Lives Matter march in 2020. He is a dedicated supporter of the movement and ensures that he shows up for those he cares about.

Cooper is also an actor, but his credits do not come near to his father’s, totaling only two projects, on which his father also featured. Lincoln is Murray’s youngest son and the most private of all the brothers, with no social media presence.

While each of Murray’s children enjoys varying degrees of privacy, they have each followed their passions in life and built successful careers without their father’s assistance.
