We have watched Eddie Murphy go from an unknown comic on Saturday Night Live to a mega-movie star in less than a decade with a career that is still going strong. However, how well do we know him?
The actor has led a private life, but now he is ready to share his story in a Netflix documentary.
Eddie chronicles his meteoric rise from teen comic phenom to Saturday Night Live breakout and stand-up supernova to box-office titan. It illuminates the evolution of Eddie Murphy — the trails he blazed and the records he broke on his way from Brooklyn upstart to Hollywood icon. In this intimate portrait, the Oscar-nominated actor opens up his home and dives deep into his eclectic career of nearly 50 years.
Along with Murphy telling his story, his friends, co-stars, directors, and comics also give us insight into his life and how he shaped the lives of three generations of entertainers.
In 1999, Martin Lawrence and Eddie Murphy were sentenced to Life together. However, that was only for the movie.
In real life, their children are going to sentence them to life together as in-laws. That is because Eric Murphy proposed to Jasmin Lawrence on November 27th, and that will make both of them the father-in-law to the other one’s child.
The betrothed couple broke the news on social media and wrote, “We’re engaged!! God truly blessed us with a love that feels like destiny. We couldn’t be more excited for this next chapter ❤️❤️”
Congrats to the comedic actors! Holiday gatherings just got even funnier!
I remember hearing recently that Eddie Murphy said that he started voicing Donkey for Shrek 5. Today, DreamWorks Animation confirmed it is reality and not just a fairytale. They wrote, “Not too Far, Far Away…@Shrek 5 is coming to theaters on July 1, 2026 with Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy, and Cameron Diaz.”
Am I the only one who didn’t know there was a Shrek 3 and Shrek 4? So, it makes you wonder do we really need another sequel.
Beverly Hills Cop came out in 1984. It was one of the quintessential movies of the decade.
Forty years later, it finally got its third sequel, Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F.
Netflix decided to have some fun, so they asked Benedict Coulter, who edited the trailer for the first two movies, to edit a trailer for this movie. Not only that, they asked Don LaFontaine, who did voiceover for those trailers, to narrate this one.
What those two men did is totally tubular, just like Axel F, who dropped on the streaming service today. Eddie Murphy is back, and in a big way!!!
