Eddie Murphy Is Still Making Music After All These Years
We’re dying because it’s been announced that Eddie Murphy is returning to Saturday Night Live in December. But he also recently shared that he’s making music under the radar!
“A hundred years from now, when I’m gone, they’ll find all these tracks and they’ll be like, ‘Wow, we didn’t even know this guy. We had no idea,’ ” he told Krista Smith on her Present Company podcast for Netflix.
The star added, “Whatever muscle I use to be funny … I have a muscle to do music, and I use them both all the time … I’ve never stopped doing music.” But, “I stopped putting it out though, because … the audience gets weirded out by it. And I don’t want to be that guy.”
Currently, Eddie is starring in Dolemite Is My Name, where he stars as the 1970s blaxpoloitation star Rudy Ray Moore.
“I could tell you the most unpleasant part about doing the ’70s is the outfits,” he quipped. “You put on platform shoes, you will hear your foot from inside the shoe say, ‘F - - k this shoe.’”
