Perhaps people think Eddie Murphy is dead simply because they haven’t seen his face for a while. Eddie Murphy has been doing a lot of voice work lately. His gig as “Shrek” has been pretty lucrative and fans will be glad to know that there is a fourth “Shrek” movie coming out, “Shrek Forever After,” next year.
Glory days at the box office
Eddie Murphy’s first big film, for him, was “48 Hrs.” That was all the way back in 1982 when Eddie Murphy was barely old enough to legally drink alcohol. Everyone remembers his stint as “Beverly Hills Cop” in that trilogy. The very first “Beverly Hills Cop” basically broke even. The film cost $14 million to make and pulled in about $15 million at the box office.
People who didn’t get to know Eddie Murhpy through “Beverly Hills Cop” know him from classics like “The Golden Child,” which made $80 million at the box office and another $40 million from video rentals, which is no small feat. Personally, I enjoyed his performance in “Coming to America,” which was also a very long time ago. After “Daddy Day Care” and all of his other kiddie movies, perhaps people are just mourning the loss of the Eddie Murphy they once knew. Is that why someone started the rumor that Eddie Murphy is dead?
