[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you don’t think Eddie regrets not broadening his career into more dramatic roles—particularly after being eclipsed/replaced by Tyler Perry (who used Eddie’s playbook and then elevated it into an empire, achieving what Eddie never could), that’s okay.

But I guarantee you Eddie has regrets…and compares himself to all the usual suspect black actors from his day and ever since. [/quote] 
Now he wants to be Tyler Perry?  😂

Did you know that Eddie Murphy compared Tyler Perry to Rudy Rae Moore? He is a performer/filmmaker known for blaxploitation comedies (hugely popular in the 70s). His point was that Tyler Perry, like Rudy Rae Moore, built a grassroots audience and succeeded by believing in his work and grinding it out. Just like Rudy Rae Moore did.  Even when others didn’t believe. He said Tyler Perry didn’t have industry advantages early on, yet still made it and became hugely successful.

Also, did you know that Tyler Perry credited Eddie Murphy’s portrayal of multiple characters (especially female ones like Mama Klump in Nutty Professor II) as an inspiration for his creation of Madea.

Maybe, Murphy has regrets. I bet a lot of his peers have them too, there’s nothing unusual about that. But this made up beef that you think Eddie Murphy has with Tyler Perry is weird.

Um, yes…everyone knows Tyler Perry used Eddie’s playbook to launch his own career in comedy films—precisely by doing characters in the same vein. (As stated earlier in the thread.)

It’s interesting how many Eddie-stans are in Dcumlandia…and seemingly don’t remember Eddie’s history.

Perhaps the one-sided glowing documentary wasn’t needed after all? [/quote]
We know his history, we just don’t agree that he’s comparable to Denzel, jealous of Tyler Perry, overrated, failed in his career, or kicked out of Hollywood.

I did not watch the documentary and I’m too old to be anyone’s “stan”.
