Bill Murray's newest pair of outrageous golf pants have Ellen DeGeneres' face on them (really)

October 23, 2014

Bill Murray's outlandish wardrobe has become part of his celebrity persona, one he likes to push the limits with whether making public appearances promoting his movies or out on a golf course enjoying his favorite pursuit. If Murray could wear a Jackson Pollock painting while on the links, we're guessing he'd sign-up quicker than you could say, "So I got that going for me, which is nice."

Recall these beauties he wore at a celebrity outing during the 2012 Ryder Cup:

Oh, and another from Pebble. No, we're not sure what this actually is either.

Knowing full well, then, Murray's penchant for wearing crazy golf outfits, Ellen DeGeneres surprised the famous "Caddyshack" star when he appeared on her talk show to promote his new movie, "St. Vincent." At the end of his segment, she told him she had a gift for him, and then pulled out a pair of modest grey slacks . . . dotted with Ellen's face all over them.

As you can see on the video, Murray played along superbly, trying them over the pants he was already wearing and doing his usual Bill Murray hijinks.

Unlike other actors, who would probably would have tossed the pants in the dumpster once the cameras turned off, we're guessing Murray not only kept this pair but will indeed show up on the first tee some day at a celebrity golf event actually wearing them.
