Bill Murray wants to work at Atlanta airport restaurant
The next time you eat at the P.F. Chang's at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, don't be surprised if actor Bill Murray is your waiter.
During an interview with actress and comedian Amy Schumer for her "3 Girls, 1 Keith" podcast, Murray revealed the one job he'd like to do outside of acting.
"I did fill out an application at P.F. Chang's at the Atlanta airport," Murray said, "because I think that's one of the great places."
“It looks like the best time,” he added.
Given Murray’s penchant for mischief, it’s not clear if he was just joking. So far, there is no actual evidence he filled out an application.
A publicist for P.F. Chang’s offered this statement to the AJC Wednesday afternoon: “Bill’s right, our team members really do have a good time working at P.F. Chang’s! And while we haven’t been able to locate his application yet, we decided to offer him the job anyway. We have seen his work and think he would make a promising wok chef.”
Bill, you're hired! When can you start? #billmurray https://t.co/1VOAbguvsO

Murray has spent a lot of time in Atlanta, so he's been through Hartsfield-Jackson numerous times, most recently filming "Zombieland: Double Tap."

The notorious Chicago Cubs fan has even been seen at the ballpark when his team has taken on the Braves.
Now that the word is out, it might be difficult getting in to the Terminal A restaurant.
@PFChangs will you be posting #billmurray 's work schedule at @ATLairport ?
