[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Eddie Murphy has always been a family man. He made an insane amount of money in the eighties and nineties; he came from nothing and was able to give everything to his kids and extended family members. He got comfortable, which is ok to do and be. I can’t imagine how it must have been to see so many Friends, die of drug overdoses and alcoholism and lose all of their money I’m certain between his brother and uncle Ray and other family members. He just didn’t wanna lose it all so after a certain level of success, he backed off of fame for a while. I don’t think anybody should knock that.[/quote]

A family man???

He had children with multiple women, was routinely involved in paternity tests due to lawsuits, screwed over Mel B and his daughter, had a public scandal with a trans sex worker who died under mysterious circumstances less than a year following the incident, etc.

Plus, he had decades long beef with many people in Hollywood, was labeled arrogant and difficult to work with, etc.

Plenty of commentary online about his real life and career over the last 40+ years.

PS - Sidney Poitier dissuaded him from dramatic film roles by saying there’s only one Denzel and Eddie should stay in his lane with the silly comedy roles. So, at least one other person recognized the fact that both Eddie and Denzel were contemporaries competing for the same roles as they both shot to fame in the 80s at the exact same time. [/quote]
