Eddie Murphy opens up to the New York Times in preparation for his impending comeback.
In an interview with the New York Times, Eddie Murphy discussed the past few decades in preparation for his impending return to the spotlight. Over the next year, Murphy will have a starring role as Rudy Ray Moore in Dolemite is My Name!; host Saturday Night Live for the first time in 35 years; and star in a sequel to 1988’s Coming to America.

Additionally, Murphy will record a stand-up comedy special for Netflix, his first feature since Raw in 1987. When asked about the revered classics, Murphy revealed that he cringes at his old material. He admits he was dealing with a breakup at the time.

“I was a young guy processing a broken heart, you know, kind of an *******,� he said. Murphy references being picketed due to the ****phobic material in his specials (which he now recognizes as “ignorant�) as recently as 1996. With that considered, he says there’s no anxiety about returning to the stage in 2019.

According to Murphy, his new material won’t be as self-centered as his work in the eighties. As a father of eight children, the experience is vastly different.

“I now have a whole lifetime of experiences to draw upon,� Murphy said. “There was a time when I was at the center of everything, what I was doing, and how funny I was and how popular…I’m not at the center. Now my kids are and everything revolves around them.�

I think hes trying to get ahead of the bs, but hes not reallllllly a comedian anymore so he can be shutdown or canceled or w/e when Coming To America 2 comes out so I dont agree with him doing this, but I get it.

If he was a comedian only he could live or die on anything he said better cuz the mfers who are mad arent fans any f#cking way so f#ck their stances on what a comedian says. Cant cancel a mfer who is on his own & doesnt got a bunch of sh^t hes selling besides himself. So Eddie not trying to even things out could hurt all the folks who throw money into him & his movies & the staff who works on these movies. Eddie isnt a one man show. Hes a industry these days & if he get canceled it f#cks alot of folks money not just Eddies.

I agree with you. If you want that bag, you're going to have to carefully maneuver in this outrage era. It is what it is.

Still, I'm just dying for some dude in the crowd be like "THATS NOT FUNNY MUTHAFACKA" while Eddie bombs when he returns to stand up.

I lost respect when he started wearing dresses in movies. Can't say I'm surprised as there have been rumors for yers about him messing with ****** hookers. He better apologize before they really put his business out there

Good points. I read the title and was pissed. Your response made me rethink that.

Isn't Eddie gay?

He keeps having kids by different women as a sad and obvious attempt to show he isn't.

He's fruity

Yeah, exactly. Plus he supposedly put up an Oscar worthy performance in that new Dolemite. He's trying to beat the mob.

Or who knows, maybe he really does regret it? Most of us said and did ****** stuff when we were young, but it doesn't live in infamy forever like Eddie's specials.
