Eddie Murphy had some news to share with Jennifer Hudson on her daytime talk show. His daughter, Jasmin, and Martin Lawrence’s son, Eric, eloped two weeks ago.
The couple and their families were planning a big wedding, but they decided to run off and do it on their terms. Now, Murphy says that their private wedding saved Martin a lot of money. But I thought that the father of the bride pays.
So, now that their kids are married, does that make the two actors brothers? I mean, they are both father-in-laws to the other’s child, so they are related! That is how it goes, right?
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.
