  • For 63 years old he doesn't even look anywhere close to that. So nostalgic to see him reprising his role as axel foley.
  • @mzunnurain
    He stopped his car to wave at our tour bus in Hollywood. Asked us how was the tour.

    If you want a lesson in how to be cool, watch an Eddie Murphy interview. No ego, not trying too hard, just chill, smooth, and confident.
  • @tbz1551
    2:10 ... will never tire of this man's giggle /laugh when he amuses himself.
  • @olorin4317
    You know it’s a great interview when the guest and the host giggle freely and frequently.
  • @odradekk
    This was a blast! The funniest and loosest I’ve seen Eddie in recent years. This one is for the books.
  • @dmochat
    Seth got EDDIE FREAKIN MURPHY!! That is so damn cool!!! 😎
  • @tisdue
    he's always been a soft spoken, humble guy. unless he's performing. Legendary talent.
  • @philiq18
    That "one of my daughter ACTS as a painter" joke went over everyone's head. Eddie's an absolute legend. 😂😂😂
  • @karmarube
    I love it when they bring back everybody that's still alive for the sequel :)
  • 2 segments for Eddie (18 minutes total)🐐 His appearance on Fallon the other night lasted all of 7 minutes.
  • @kstepko
    I had never seen any of the Beverly Hills Cop movies - I was five, seven, and 16 years old when they came out - so watched all three last week … and they were great! Excited for the new one.
  • Eddie Murphy is a national treasure, the looks, the laugh. He looks incredible, but the fact that he has spent the last decade or two focused on being there for his family earns my respect.
  • @ajewel288
    The subtle (laughing I assume!) camera shake ≈ min 9:25 made me so happy!
  • @lyndsey6040
    Eddie Murphy IS my childhood. I will always love him!
