Murray has maintained an impressively long career, always managing to stay relevant in whatever decade he is working.
The ’90s saw Murray appearing in all-timeclassics likeGroundhog Day,Rushmore,What About Bob?, andEd Wood.
It also featured some movies that have not held up as well, likeSpace Jam.
However, Murray’s favorite co-star came from a poorly received comedy.
Together, they embark on a cross-country journey to find a new home for the elephant.
Murray elaborated on why Tai was his favorite, noting that she was equal parts beautiful and intelligent.
Despite the films lackluster reception, Murrays connection with Tai was unique.
The bond between the actor and the elephant became the most memorable aspect of the movie.
Until now, they said, ‘Who’s your favorite costar?’
Larger Than Life follows motivational speaker Jack Corcoran, who unexpectedly inherits an elephant from his deceased circus clown father. As he travels across the country to sell the animal, Jack faces choices that test his values and ultimately form a transformative bond with the elephant.
I always say Tai.
I did a movie called Larger Than Life, and I inherited an elephant.
And they say, why, ‘who’s your favorite lady costar?’
I say, Tai.
And they say, ‘why?’
And I said, because she was the prettiest.
She really was, she was extraordinarily beautiful.
I cried like a baby.
This experience also reinforces why Murray remains relevant.
