Upset TV viewers have branded Bill Murray<\/a> \u2018gross\u2019 for kissing Naomi Watts during a joint appearance on Watch What Happens Live.<\/p>\n

The pair recently starred in The Friend together, and were on the Bravo show on Monday night to promote the sweet flick, which was released in US<\/a> cinemas last month before a UK premiere at the end of April.<\/p>\n

However, things quickly took a turn during a Q&A segment with the audience, when the 56-year-old was questioned over the best kiss of her career.<\/p>\n

Before she could answer, the camera panned from host Andy Cohen to his guests, showing 74-year-old Bill tipping his castmate\u2019s head back and kissing her on the mouth.<\/p>\n

As the audience loudly screamed over the bizarre moment, the Mulholland Drive actress kept her head in her hands and shook it, while Bill – who was previously linked to Kelis<\/a> – stared straight at the camera.<\/p>\n

\u2018You\u2019ve got lipstick on your face,\u2019 Naomi laughed, before asking if she went \u2018red\u2019 over the shock moment.<\/p>\n

\u2018That was too easy,\u2019 her co-star insisted. \u2018That was way too easy.\u2019<\/p>\n

According to Decider<\/a>, she then took the opportunity to answer the question herself, adding: \u2018Well, of course, it\u2019s Billy Crudup, my husband<\/a>.\u2019<\/p>\n

Viewers were incensed by Bill\u2019s actions and flocked to social media to unpack the scene, with many branding it \u2018disgusting\u2019.<\/p>\n

Reddit user Classic-Carpet7609 fumed: \u2018Jesus, the death grip on her face. Poor Naomi.\u2019<\/p>\n

She also shares children Sasha and Kai<\/a> with ex-husband Liv Schreiber, who she split with in 2016 after 11 years of dating.<\/p>\n

Bill was previously linked to singer Kelis in 2023, but recently poured cold water on any romance rumors during an appearance on SiriusXM in March, insisting there was no truth to the speculation.<\/p>\n

Metro has contacted reps for Bill and Naomi for a comment.<\/em><\/p>\n
