Bill Murray Just Bought His First Cellphone, and It's a BlackBerry

Public service announcement to Bill Murray fans: If the actor crashes your bachelor party or engagement shoot, make sure to ask for his BBM after.

After a lifetime of eschewing cellphones, Murray told Variety that he has purchased a smartphone: A BlackBerry. Because obviously.

“I got it to communicate with my sons, because they will not answer a phone call, but they will answer a text,” he said begrudgingly. “I mean I have done it, but I have no interest in it. The kids’ school stuff is all email, and they send thousands of emails. It’s complete overload.”

But don’t worry, the actor also has his very own 800 number which he sporadically checks. Who you gonna call? Bill Murray, duh.
