Eddie Murphy has shocked fans with a story nobody saw coming.
In his new Netflix documentary Being Eddie, the Hollywood icon revealed that legendary actor Yul Brynner once propositioned him on the night he turned 21, Daily Mail reported. This is really a wild indecent proposal claim.
Eddie Murphy is reflecting on a career lowlight: the one film he felt “sucked.” It is one of the wildest moments from his rise to fame
Murphy is the focus of the new Netflix documentary, which also features an A-list group of comedians, producers and actors — including Arsenio Hall, Brian Grazer, Chris Rock, Dave Chappelle, Jamie Foxx, Jeffrey Katzenberg, Jerry Bruckheimer, Jerry Seinfeld, John Landis, Kenan Thompson, Kevin Hart, Michael Che, Pete Davidson, Ruth Carter, Tracee Ellis Ross, and Tracy Morgan.
This film celebrates Murphy “and his almost 50-year career that’s seen him break barriers, invent genres, and inspire generations of talent.”
In the Netflix’s new documentary “Being Eddie,” the comedian claims a Hollywood legend offered him a racy birthday gift on his 21st birthday.
“Nobody had as much fun as we had in the ’80s. Nobody,” Murphy said.
“My 21st birthday party, I had at Studio 54. Yul Brynner, from ‘The Ten Commandments,’ he was with his wife, and he was like, ‘How would you like to go back to my apartment with my wife and I and party?’”
“I got older, I was like, party?” Murphy says in the doc. “His wife was smiling. I was like, ‘Did he want me to go f— his wife?’ I was like, what the? When I got older, I thought back on it.”
Reflecting on the incident, Murphy admits his response today might be very different. “Now I wish I would’ve went. The story would end better if, you know, ‘Yeah, I went back to Yul Brynner’s spot and f—ed his wife. He was watching me f—ing… He was going, ‘Et cetera, et cetera, et cetera,’” he jokes, referencing Brynner’s famous line from “The King and I.”
The story is just one of several candid memories Murphy shares in the documentary.
“Being Eddie” is available to stream on Netflix now.
