Bill Murray thinks that all actors are heroes, and claims that they're admired by so many because they get to escape reality pretending to be somebody else.
Speaking to The Guardian newspaper he explained: "It's always a question, 'How are people pulling this off? How can they live with it, how can they be that person up on screen and then walk down a street or go to a grocery store or drive a car or have a conversation?' Like, 'How does that happen? Where do you get to be superhuman? How can you do it?'
"People identify with that. They think, I'd love to be Superman for a while, or be the guy who's being funny and not taking any guff. I wish I could say that to my neighbour or wife. That's what a hero does."
The actor also mentioned his passion of road safety and said politician Ralph Nadar should be at the centre of a new movie - the man who made it illegal not to wear a seatbelt in a vehicle from 1965.
"I mean, they made a movie about the German who smuggled the Jews out. He saved hundreds. Great man. Deserved a movie. Spectacular. Great film and a great human being. But this guy, Ralph - there's no movies about Ralph."
