This man turns 62 this April. While he has been in entertainment long enough to justify that age, he does not look it, or is it just me.
Eddie Murphy is the epitome of cool and chill
They don’t make celebrities like Eddie anymore a class act ❤
Love how he gives you just enough of a story but not too much detail to protect his friends and leave you wondering what else went down in his stories. I think he saves the details for those only close to them.
Props to Eddie for clarifying his skits on Michael, too many people are afraid to even utter a positive word towards him. Respect man!🙏
Eddie is a legend, he’s gonna be 62 going on 40. Dude doesn’t age.
I love how Eddie keeps his composure, calm, cool, collected, and chill!
This man exudes debonair. His aura is full of poise & elegance. The way he honored the great prince of funk Rick James was endearing. He's a straight walking memoir, with all of his recall. Jimmy did an amazing job getting him to open up.
I saw Eddie live in Dallas in the 80s with really excellent seats. I laughed so hard that I lost my voice for 3 days afterward.
I always love when Eddie Murphy gives us his Michael Jackson stories. ❤
I am 72 years old, and I have to tell you…I love Eddie Murphy! He is so funny, handsome, and a such a talented man. ♥️
I love how calm his voice is and his impressions are just absolutely awesome
There is something about listening to him and Jamie Foxx, they both mesmerize you with their stories and humour.
Eddie is so soft-spoken.
Eddie and Michael's friendship was so wholesome 💛 Same with MJ and Chris Tucker
Eddie was my favorite actor as a kid. Beverly Hills Cop series iconic.
Eddie Murphy is so chill. He just lives his life. Don't see him or his family in the tabloids. Keeps his life to himself. Smart and talented.
I love how Eddie clarifies that his jokes were not mean spirited. I agree the best comedians don't have to punch down on other people just to get a laugh.
This guy is hilarious!! When he said "Michael got giraffes just walking around like this"😂😂
Eddie Murphy has entertained us for dang near 40+ years and is a master at his craft! can't wait for that Beverly Hills cop 4!
