I was married April 1989 and stayed at the Four Seasons on the parkway in Philadelphia. Still in my wedding dress, my husband and I entered the elevator and these two huge guys were standing there , arms crossed. A voice from behind us said, congratulations. We turned around and it was Eddie Murphy!!!. All we could say was thank you. We were both shocked and wished looking back had him autograph my dress or had camera phones back then 🤣 it is still an exciting chance meeting and memory.

[@Tarantulisimo]

Eddie's got it all: he's got the intellect, he's got the jokes, he's got the stories, he's got the impressions, he's got the characters, he can do sketch comedy, he can do stand-up, he can do voice work -- and that's just as a comedian. He can also sing, he can dance, can also act dramatically

[@jefferyfarr6542]

I love Eddie Murphy too. He could run and be elected President.

[@supernotnatural]

He has done sshit for over 25+ years. He is irrevelant now. Either make a stand up special or something funnny or disappear. No one ride 1 stand up special more than Eddie Murphy and he thinks he is forever legend. He would be irrevelant in today's comedy. So many specials etc. Eddie is lucky because 70s had barely good comedians. That's why he doesnt do anything anymore. George Carlin would be doing SPECIALS STILL if he was ALIVE..
