Edward Regan “Eddie” Murphy Wiki Biography

Edward Regan “Eddie” Murphy was born on 3 April 1961, in Brooklyn, New York USA.  Eddie Murphy is a  stand-up comedian, actor, writer, singer, director and musician, but is best known as a comic actor, to the extent where as of 2014, films featuring Murphy have grossed over $3.8 billion at the United States and Canada box office, and $6.6 billion worldwide, making him the fourth highest-grossing US actor of all time.

So just how rich is Eddie Murphy? Sources have estimated that the total size of Eddie Murphy’s net worth today reaches $85 million, a good deal of his wealth having been accumulated from film appearances, but all his talents have contributed.

Although Eddie Murphy’s mother, Lillian, worked as a telephone operator,  his father Charles worked as a transit police officer and was an amateur actor and comedian. Being 15, Murphy was already writing and performing his own programs, which were influenced by Bill Cosby and Richard Pryor. Still, Eddie Attended Nassau Community College in Garden City, New York, before beginning his acting career. Murphy began his career as well as the net worth accumulation as a stand-up comedian and released two albums ‘Delirious’ and ‘Raw’. From 1980 he started working as a regular actor on the ‘Saturday Night Live’ TV show. In 1982, Eddie debuted on the big screen, co-starring with Nick Nolte in the action comedy film directed by Walter Hill ’48 Hrs’. for which he was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for the Best Acting Male Debut. Of course this also added to Eddie’s net worth as well as fame.

In 1983, ‘Trading Places’, a comedy film directed by John Landis was released in which Eddie Murphy co-starred alongside Dan Aykroyd. The film received generally favorable reviews by critics and brought a ‘Best Actor’s’ nomination for Murphy at the 41st Golden Globe Awards. After such a successful start, Eddie Murphy continued his starring career and accumulation of net worth in films including ‘Beverly Hills Cop’, a 1984 action comedy film directed by Martin Brest, ‘The Golden Child’ a 1986 fantasy comedy film directed by Michael Ritchie, and ‘Beverly Hills Cop II’, a 1987 action-comedy film directed by Tony Scott.

Up until 1990, critics and audience loved Murphy but by 1992 results dropped and his appearances on ‘Beverly Hills Cop III’ directed by John Landis, ‘Boomerang’ directed by Reginald Hudlin, ‘Harlem Nights’ directed by Eddie Murphy himself,  and ‘Another 48 Hrs.’ directed by Walter Hill were not very successful. However, since 1998 Eddie has managed to increase his net worth and popularity as he followed with a series of very profitable family-friendly films like ‘Mulan’, ‘Dr. Dolittle’ and its sequel, the ‘Shrek’ series, ‘Daddy Day Care’, ’ The Haunted Mansion’, and ’The Nutty Professor II: The Klumps’.

Murphy is the winner of an Annie Award for Outstanding Individual Achievement for Voice Acting by a Male Performer in an Animated Feature Production for his voice acting in ‘Shrek’ and a National Society of Film Critics Award for the Best Actor in ‘The Nutty Professor’ which also helped add to Murphy’s net worth. In addition to this Eddie Murphy’s net worth increased after he starred in the motion picture version of the Broadway musical ‘Dreamgirls’ as soul singer James ‘Thunder’ Early. Eddie Murphy was the winner of a Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actor, as well as a Screen Actors Guild Award and a Broadcast Film Critics Association Award in that category.

Overall, Eddie Murphy has starred in over 40 films and 20 TV productions, which have brought him 50 award nominations in various categories (including ‘Worst….’) of which he has won 15. Together with box office receipts mentioned above, these are indeed impressive statistics.

In his personal life, Eddie Murphy married Nicole Mitchell in 1993. They had five children together but divorced in 2005. In 2008 he married Tracey Edmonds. In addition to his marriages, he has three children out of wedlock, including a son with Tamara Hood, and a daughter, with his ex-girlfriend, Melanie Brown.

Eddie is also a noted philanthropist, donating money to the AIDS Foundation, and cancer, education, creative arts, family/parent support, health and homeless charities. He has also donated to the Martin Luther King Jr. Center, and $100,000 to the Screen Actors’ Guild‘s strike relief fund.

Edward Regan “Eddie” Murphy Quotes

  • About the hits and misses on his career: “I kind of see it from a different perspective than the way you guys [journalists] may see it. In my view, I’ve never had a flop movie or a movie that didn’t work. If I did the movie, and they paid me lots and lots of money to do it, it’s a f-ing smash!”. “Any movie that I was in that they paid me a lot of money for was a f-ing smash. And, to be perfectly honest, we celebrate Pluto Nash at my house. We don’t have Christmas Day, we have Pluto Nash Day. And we don’t have Halloween, we have Vampire in Brooklyn (1995).”
  • [His high school yearbook quote] In reality, all men are sculptors, constantly chipping away the unwanted parts of their lives, trying to create their idea of their masterpiece.
  • [2015] I just finished a movie. But it’s not a comedy. It’s called Mr. Church (2016), directed by Bruce Beresford. I hadn’t done a movie in five years; I’d been waiting for something really special. Then this thing came along. It got me off the couch. It’s about a man who’s hired to cook for a dying woman for six months and becomes part of the family. You’ll be hearing about it.
  • [2015] I’m not doing anything unless the script’s incredible. I did some movies where they offer you a bunch of money and you go, “OK, I’ll do it!” I’ve done enough of those – I don’t have to do them any more.
  • [in 1982, about Saturday Night Live (1975)] If I don’t die in a plane crash or something, this country has a rare opportunity to watch a great talent grow.
  • [on scripts he receives] They’ll come to you with this stuff, dialogue like “Hey, jive turkey!” Like, “you can play this irate black man.” I’m going, “Hey, you have a script?” “No, that’s it, you’re angry with society and you beat up a Mafia person and you’re friends with Drew Barrymore.” It’s like they had to throw in a white person there.
  • [on Charlie Murphy] We were so different that people would see us and be like, “Y’all are brothers? I didn’t know you was brothers.” And Charlie was in gangs, and even now, Charlie’s like extra ultramacho – piranha, pit bulls, hatchets, axes, machetes. He has a black belt in karate. I got through a lot of school because the kids knew I was his brother, nobody was fucking with me. “You don’t fuck with Eddie, his brother will kill you.” Charlie was a really tough guy.
  • [on his legacy] Technology has it to where they gonna play this stuff forever. But the reality is, all this shit turns into dust, everything is temporary. No matter what you do, if you’re around here long enough, you’ll wind up dribbling and shitting on yourself, and you won’t even remember the shit you did. I saw this documentary on Ronald Reagan, and it was like, “Whoa.” They say he came into the house, and he had the toy White House that he had taken out of a fish tank, and he goes, “I don’t know what I’m doing with this, but I know it has something to do with me.” He had even forgotten he was the president. No matter what you do, that shit is all getting turned into gobbledy­gook. In 200 years, it’s all dust, and in 300 years, it ain’t nothing, and in 1,000 years, it’s like you wasn’t even fucking here. But if you’re really, really lucky, if you really did something special, you could hang around a little longer.
  • [on returning to stand-up comedy] If I ever get back onstage, I’m going to have a really great show for you all – an hour and a half of stand-up and about 40 minutes of my shitty band. But I don’t know. The way that used to come about, you’d be around the house, hanging out, say something funny and it’d be like, “I’m going to go to the club, try that out tonight.” That still happens, but it’s been a long time. I’m not that guy in the leather suit anymore. The hardest thing for comics nowadays is to find your fucking voice.
  • [on being the biggest star from Saturday Night Live (1975)] That’s only because John Belushi’s dead. Belushi’s like Spanky of the Little Rascals series. I guess that makes me Stymie, but that’s cool. I’ll be Stymie. Think of all the people who came off that show. I bet you could figure out the combined grosses of people who came off Saturday Night Live in the movies – me, Adam Sandler, Will Ferrell, Mike Myers, Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd. I bet it’s $15 billion. It’s no coincidence – that show’s like Harvard for a comic actor. When you come off the show and get into the movie business, it’s like you’re moving in slow motion for a couple of years. You’ve been working like a crazy person in a pressure cooker, then you’re in the movies, just sitting in your trailer.
  • [on what his younger self would think of his family films] Would the 27-year-old have wondered what I was doing in Doctor Dolittle (1998)? No. Or in those Shrek (2001) movies? No. But, you know, both the 27-year-old and the 48-year-old was like, “Why am I in Imagine That (2009)?” The movie didn’t have a chance at the box office – it’s just me and this little girl and a blanket.
  • [on why he lost his trademark laugh] I don’t laugh like that anymore, somehow it doesn’t come out. It’s weird to change something that’s as natural as that. But it started out as a real laugh, then it turned into people laughing because they thought my laugh was funny, and then there were a couple of times where I laughed because I knew it would make people laugh. Then it got weird. People came up to me and said, “Do that laugh,” or if you laugh, someone turns around and goes, “Eddie?” I just stopped doing it.
  • With the success that I’ve had and the money that I make, if I and a white man went out to get a cab together, the cab wouldn’t stop for me. It would stop for the white man.
  • I know what I’m capable of doing and what I’m capable of not doing. To be perfectly honest, I’m a little afraid of doing a straight dramatic film. I’m not saying I couldn’t do it. I’m saying I’m afraid to. Everyone is afraid of failure.
  • [on Richard Pryor, Charles Chaplin, Bill Cosby and George Carlin being his greatest influences] I feel like those are the most brilliant comic minds ever. You can draw a line from them to anyone who’s trying to do comedy – or just be funny – today, including me.
  • [on Dan Aykroyd] Robotic the way he handles people: “Ah, yes, good to meet you.” Very straightforward, very clean-cut, very polite, real nice guy.
  • [on rumours he will play The Riddler in the next Batman movie] I would love to be in one of those Batman movies. Jim Carrey did The Riddler once and he did a wonderful job. Egghead, I could be Egghead.
  • The only reason I did Showtime (2002) was Robert De Niro. I definitely consider him to be in the top 5 all time best actors.
  • I keep telling people I’ll make movies until I’m fifty and then I’ll go and do something else. I’m going to be a professional gentleman of leisure.
  • The advice I would give to someone is to not take anyone’s advice.
  • If you’re involved in with something that’s original, you know, you’ll always go back and try to rehash it.
  • That’s my idol, Elvis Presley. If you went to my house, you’d see pictures all over of Elvis. He’s just the greatest entertainer that ever lived. And I think it’s because he had such presence. When Elvis walked into a room, Elvis Presley was in the fucking room. I don’t give a fuck who was in the room with him—[Humphrey Bogart], Marilyn Monroe.
  • [on why he accepted a part in Best Defense (1984)] The door opened and four guys came in carrying a check.
  • I started out as an impressionist and that’s all about observing – how people move, their voice quality, their attitudes and quirks.
  • Every bad decision I’ve made has been based on money. I grew up in the projects and you don’t turn down money there. You take it, because you never know when it’s all going to end. I made [Beverly Hills Cop III (1994)] because they offered me $15 million. That $15 million was worth having Roger Ebert’s thumb up my ass.
  • [in 1985] I’d like to produce, direct, write, score, and star in a film in exactly the way [Charles Chaplin] did. I’ll do that before I’m thirty.
