There’s truly only one Eddie Murphy. By the time he was 17, he was already making people laugh in comedy clubs all over New York. Just a year later, he landed a spot on Saturday Night Live—right after finishing high school. From Beverly Hills Cop to The Nutty Professor, Dr. Dolittle to the voice of Donkey in Shrek, Eddie has done it all—and done it better than almost anyone else. For almost 50 years, he’s been a major force in comedy and movies, staying at the top while still staying true to himself. Being Eddie, a new film directed by two-time Oscar® winner Angus Wall (The Greatest Night in Pop, Mountain Queen), brings together some of the biggest names in entertainment—like Dave Chappelle, Chris Rock, Jamie Foxx, Tracee Ellis Ross, Kevin Hart, Jerry Seinfeld, Jerry Bruckheimer, and Brian Grazer. Together, they celebrate Eddie Murphy: the man who broke barriers, changed comedy and film, and inspired generations of performers. For the first time ever, Eddie opens up his home and his heart, sharing the passion, creativity, and spirit behind one of the greatest entertainers who’s ever lived.
