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.
Eddie is slated to premiere later this year.
