Hollywood actor Bill Murray and Filmmaker Wes Anderson have worked together on numerous movies over the years, including 'The Grand Budapest Hotel' and 'The Royal Tenenbaums', and the actor admits to loving the experience of collaborating with the acclaimed director.

The veteran actor, who previously shot 'Lost in Translation' with Sofia Coppola and 'Broken Flowers' with Jarmusch, admitted that they've had a huge impact on his time in the movie business.
