Eddie Murphy, the star of ‘Beverly Hills Cop’ and ‘The Nutty Professor,’ says he “never had joy” while making movies.
The revelation comes in an interview published Saturday in the New York Times Magazine, a conversation ostensibly supporting the July 3 release of the fourth film in the 40-year-old Beverly Hills Cop franchise. “We’ve been trying to develop another Beverly Hills Cop since ’96,” Eddie Murphy says, after John Landis-directed Beverly Hills Cop III failed to meet the star’s expectations. “It didn’t have the emotional hook that the other ones have,” Murphy says.
But ‘hurry up and wait’: That’s the movie business, and it is not fun.” Though he’s the recipient of numerous awards, Murphy also lampoons those ceremonies, telling Marchese, “The most horrible energy in the world is a room full of famous people going through their whole famous thing: who’s the most famous and who’s cool and who’s not. I hate that feeling.
