Eddie Murphy: ‘I was kind of an a**hole’

 

It is clear from his performance in ‘Dolemite Is My Name’ that Eddie Murphy’s star power is undiminished ( Action Press/Rex )

 

In the middle of shooting a scene from the new biopic Dolemite Is My Name, Eddie Murphy went off-script.

 

Playing comic Rudy Ray Moore onstage, he needled a member of the audience, then asked where he came from.

 

The man, an extra, improvised: “Your mama’s house!”

 

Everyone on set roared (“Awwwww!”) and Murphy lit up, in character, unleashing insults, telling the guy he was the type “who would fart in the tub and turn around and bite the bubbles”.

If being hilarious and entertaining is being an a**hole...it seems the world needs more a**holes.

Like we don't know, not a very funny man unless you are amused by constant foul language.

and an awkward laugh .. ????

I recall some performance decades ago where the level of insults towards gays made wonder if he was in the closet... he is very funny, no argument there. That doesn't immunize from being an anal pore
