Bill Murray stopped for a photo with shop staff on Friday Morning

Hollywood actor Bill Murray was anything but a “Scrooge,” when he stopped to talk to fans in a shop in Greysteel, County Londonderry on Friday morning.

The 75-year-old actor, star of films such as Ghostbusters, Lost in Translation and Groundhog Day, has been travelling across the island of Ireland this month.

Staff working at Lynch’s Eurospar were quick to ask the actor for a photograph after spotting him outside the shop.

The actor’s brother Joel volunteered to take the photo of Murray and a few of the deli counter staff.

In the last week he has travelled to County Sligo, where he bought some of the regulars in a local pub drinks, and to Ardara in County Donegal.

On Tuesday, Murray stopped into The Beach Bar in County Sligo alongside his brother and fellow actor Joel as well as Irish comedian Joanne McNally.

Darren McDermott, who is a manager at the bar, told BBC News NI said he knew that some celebrities were making an appearance later, “but we didn’t quite know who”.

However he had an inkling about who might turn up.

“I suspected that it might be Bill as he was about the local area that day, we just didn’t know until he showed up,” he said.

“He bought some of the locals a few drinks, had a few laughs but he was very down to earth”.

The bar manager, who is no stranger to celeb visitors, took it in its stride

“We’ve had film crews pass by before, with a few celebrities like Cillian Murphy and Peter Dinklage,” said Mr McDermott.
