Eddie Murphy is one of the most well known comedians ever. He still to this day is known for his hilarious specials in the eighties. He was always dressed in leather from head to toe, except for his trademark running shoes. He was rude and crude but so funny. As a child I can remember not being allowed to even hear what his special was about let alone see it. By the time I was allowed to see it I had so much excitement from the anticipation. For years and years I had heard about how funny he was. When I finally got to watch him perform he completely lived up to the hype. It was laugh out loud funny.
As he has gotten older Eddie Murphy has completely mellowed out. When asked why he said that it was for his kids. He wanted to make shows and movies that they could watch. He said that when he watches his old specials that he doesn’t even know that guy. He feels like he is watching someone else. He also said he can’t believe the way he used to dress and how much he cursed.
Eddie Murphy is now featured as the voice of Donkey in the Shrek movies. He is loved by children and adults. His role in the movie Dr. Doolittle and Daddy Daycare made him popular with kids. It was Shrek that made children adore him though. He is an actor that will be making generations laugh for years to come. Fortunately now we can all watch him and chuckle no matter what age we are. There is no more having to wait until you are an adult or having to cover your ears and close your eyes at certain parts. You can trust that everything is now completely acceptable for children to watch.
