Eddie Murphy: I may quit movies
Eddie Murphy has suggested that the new Beverley Hills Cop movie could be his last role on screen.The 47-year-old said he feels he has made his quota of films and would be keen to return to his comedy roots. Murphy was an acclaimed stand-up comedian breaking into films, often being compared to legendary stand-up Richard Pryor. "Thirty years and I have close to 50 movies and it is like, 'Why am I in the movies? I've done that part now.'", he said. "I'll go back to the stage and do stand-up". Murphy wants to ensure the latest Cop film is a worthy addition, as the third movie was "horrible". "The (third) movie wasn't ready to be done and they wrote some s**t down on paper and I said, 'Is this your phone number?' and they said, 'This is how much we're going to pay you.' "I said, 'Let's go shoot it! I don't care if the script ain't right.'". Titles related to this articleRelated/similar articles
