EDDIE MURPHY TO GIVE UP ACTING

It's taken him a while to come to his senses, but Eddie Murphy's brain has clunked into action and let him know that he only makes shit films now and should return to stand-up.

He said: "I have close to 50 movies and it's like, why am I in the movies? I've done that part now. I'll go back to the stage and do standup."

Some YouTube evidence on why he's right after the jump.

Reason to get out of films...

Reason to go back to stand up...

EDDIE MURPHY, GIVE UP ACTING, stand up, youtube, raw,

		milkplus on Tue 01 July 2008 said... What about Beverley Hills Cop 4? I thought that was in production. I was looking forward to seeing the rotten tomatoes review of that. Oh well.
		BlartMonster on Tue 01 July 2008 said... Hmmmm there's always a home in Yorkshire for you, Ed. Mel will always have a welcome for you...
		Bunter on Tue 01 July 2008 said... Hooray! I wonder if he'd consider giving up breathing too?
		darkfung on Tue 01 July 2008 said... I post comment earlier - where is it ?? I like eddy and he is quite funny - I'd like to see his new Hills Cop as it could be a good laugh - like the Nutty hamsters in his other movies. will he be using Fat suits again like his Norbert person ?

		Marshfield on Tue 01 July 2008 said... I reckon that BHC4 will be good. And he will go back to doing Norbert 2 / Nutty Professor 3 - when you're offered 10/20 million to do a piece of crap you're gonna do it. As for his comedy, he's been out of the game a while, he's not exactly in touch with his audience in the same way he was earlier in his career. But the he can afford to get people to write some decent material for him, so it might work. But who would you rather see Chris Rock or Eddie Murphy...
