During a recent discussion, the renowned comedian revealed that Murphy\u2019s way of dealing with people inspired him to narrow his friend group down to just three close mates.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">Pete Davidson shares how Eddie Murphy helped him cut down friends<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">While speaking with <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/people.com\/pete-davidson-says-eddie-murphy-inspired-him-to-trim-friends-exclusive-11787818\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:People;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">People<\/a>, Pete Davidson revealed that during their time together on the set of The Pickup, he noticed that Eddie Murphy only maintains a close-knit group of friends. Having understood the perks of adopting such an approach, the Saturday Night Live alum ultimately decided to make changes in his own life.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cI\u2019ve been guilty of having 700 friends in the green room. People I just met or are just in the crew, and then I\u2019m like, \u2018Why did they not have my best interest in mind?\u2019 he said. Davidson then shed light upon the Shrek star\u2019s way of managing connections by saying, \u201c[Murphy] has a really small crew, and it\u2019s the same people for a really long time, and I think that\u2019s really important to have an efficient career and just overall life in this business. You have to be able to trust who\u2019s around you, and you got to be able to move a certain type of way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">As such, Davidson decided to draw boundaries in his own life by curtailing his friend group to just three members. \u201cPretty much after that movie, I was like, \u2018OK, I have three friends. Here\u2019s who they are. Here\u2019s who I have to trust and share things with,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Led by Davidson, Murphy, and Keke Palmer, The Pickup premiered on Prime Video on August 6, 2025, and has since garnered a largely negative response from critics and viewers alike.
