Bill Murray is one of those celebs who have a habit of popping up in weird viral videos from time to time.

There was his Ryder Cup appearance, that time he was slinging drinks at the opening of his son’s bar (never hurts to leverage your dad’s popularity), and that time he was caught nicking another man’s French fries (photos only, sorry).

Oh, also that time he taught us that drinking before going on live TV can be fraught with danger:

He lives by his own rules.

The latest video doing the rounds is described here by Huff Post:

The “Groundhog Day” star agreed to play an impromptu part in comedian Dan White’s spoof skit when the two met at the BTN Big10K running event in Chicago on Sunday.

White, in the bit he shared to Twitter on Monday, proudly reels off Murray’s accomplishments as the actor walks behind him. A dream of White’s is about to come true, but then the unthinkable happens.

We don’t want to spoil the fun, so have a look for yourself:

Before you show too much sympathy, that was a planned tumble:

White said he suffered for his art by “jacking up” his wrist and skinning his leg “pretty bad” in the fall. Murray was “a little surprised by how hard” he’d committed himself, he said, but “knew it was coming and agreed.”

Some viewers initially believed White’s stumble was real and offered messages of sympathy.

White said he “never set out to deceive.” He said “the joke should be pretty obvious in a few seconds of surfing my Twitter feed where everything is just weird comedy and there’s literally no truth to anything I tweet.”

Kinda like the American president…
