The great talent of Eddie Murphy, second director of “Beverly Cop 4”

Eddie Murphy He has established himself in recent decades as one of Hollywood’s greatest comedy actors. The star emerged precisely in the comedy segment before migrating to cinema: he performed stand-up comedy shows and was part of the traditional American program Saturday Night Live.

When he dedicated himself to working in cinema, Murphy achieved impressive marks. In 2015, he was the sixth highest-grossing actor at the box office in United States history. Some of his outstanding works, such as A Prince in New York, Beverly Hills Cop, The Nutty Professor, Dr. Dolittle It is Daddy’s Nurserybecame classics in the Hollywood comedy segment to the point that, to this day, they are frequently played on TV

The already mentioned Beverly Hills Cop won three feature films — and a fourth, celebrating the 40th anniversary of the original bora, will be released in 2024 on Netflix. Back to character Axel Foley, Eddie managed to show his talent to co-workers again. One of them, the director Mark Molloygave public praise to the star.

In an interview with Tudum, Molloy tried to summarize what he considers to be Murphy’s greatest talent as an artist. For him, it is his improvisation skills that make the veteran actor a legitimate star.

“Some of Axel Foley’s funniest moments are when Eddie is improvising. And for my part, a big part of the job was creating the right environment, putting the right people around Eddie to allow him to do what he does best.”

Producer of the original film in the saga, Jerry Bruckheimer is also working on the fourth and new feature film. And he continues to be impressed by Eddie Murphy’s talent. Another talking to the Tudum, the film professional reflected on more characteristics that make the American interpreter a giant at what he does.

“Eddie is an incredible artist. He can do drama, he can do comedy, he can do anything. And he’s the same Axel Foley as before. He’s still on the streets. He’s still doing what he does best. Obviously, as you age, you become wiser. But he still has a sparkle in his eyes.”
