Actor Bill Murray's in Mayor Rob Ford's corner

..."I haven't met him personally, but he's running again, he's running right now, but he's in the lead, right?" Murray said.

Upon learning that the incumbent mayor is actually in second place according to latest polls, he said, "Well, he's still got a shot at it. You know, sometimes, St. Paul was a tough guy for a long time and he turned out OK. I hope the best for Rob Ford."

The 63-year-old star, cool as a cucumber, also encouraged people to celebrate his special day in a more chilled way.

"I think they should just take it easy on themselves a little bit," he said. "I think they should just realize we're just flawed from tippy-toe, so rather instead of reacting, just watch a little bit and look at ourselves without any kind of judgement."
