Hindsight is 20\/20.<\/p>\n
Eddie Murphy<\/a> is among the many Hollywood stars who have passed on a role that they regret until this day. In an interview with Speedy Morman<\/a> on 360 with Speedy<\/em>, Murphy spoke about choosing Holy Man<\/em> over the role of Detective James Carter, which ultimately went to Chris Tucker<\/a>.<\/p>\n “They came to me, and they was like, it was two scripts,” he recalled. “It was like, ‘It’s Rush Hour<\/em>, and it’s going to be [an] action comedy, and you’re gonna be [with] Jackie Chan. And it’s action, summertime, running, and all this physical stuff.”<\/p>\n “And this other one was, ‘You in a robe in Miami.’ I was like, hey, hey, hey,” Murphy continued, referencing his role in Holy Man<\/em>. “It was a no-brainer! And we went to Miami, and made a horrendous film.”<\/p>\n COMPLEX SHOP:<\/b> Shop the brands you love, anytime and anywhere. Uncover what’s next. Buy. Collect. Obsess.<\/a><\/p>\n The 64-year-old actor and comedian almost immediately walked back calling Holy Man<\/em> “horrendous.” The 1998 movie currently has a 12 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes<\/a>, so he may be onto something.<\/p>\n Murphy also confessed to turning down the role of Hoke Colburn in Driving Miss Daisy<\/em>, which earned Morgan Freeman an Oscar nomination for Best Actor. Even though the part was initially developed for him, Eddie was adamant that he “wasn’t doing no s**tlike that.”<\/p>\n Murphy confirmed on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon<\/em> that he turned down Ghostbusters<\/em> in favor of Beverly Hills Cop<\/em>, and passed on Who Framed Roger Rabbit <\/em>because he did not believe in the idea of pairing animation with actual people.<\/p>\n <\/a> Terence Blanchard – The Comedian CD<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n Blue Note Records<\/span> Terence Blanchard – The Comedian CD<\/span> $13.98<\/span> <\/a><\/p>\n ,<\/p>\n <\/a> Freddie Roach – Good Move LP (Tone Poet Vinyl Series)<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n Blue Note Records<\/span> Freddie Roach – Good Move LP (Tone Poet Vinyl Series)<\/span> $38.98<\/span> <\/a><\/p>\n ,<\/p>\n <\/a> Bobby Hutcherson – Dialogue LP (Tone Poet Vinyl Series)<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n Blue Note Records<\/span> Bobby Hutcherson – Dialogue LP (Tone Poet Vinyl Series)<\/span> $38.98<\/span> <\/a><\/p>\n ,<\/p>\n <\/a> Wayne Shorter – Speak No Evil LP (Blue Note Classic Vinyl Series)<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n Blue Note Records<\/span> Wayne Shorter – Speak No Evil LP (Blue Note Classic Vinyl Series)<\/span> $27.98<\/span> <\/a><\/p>\n <\/a> Eddie Murphy Picks His Best (and Worst) Movies, Reveals an Untold Beyonc\u00e9 Story<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n ,<\/p>\n <\/a> Eddie Murphy Reveals a Previously Untold Beyonc\u00e9 and Jennifer Hudson Story From ‘Dreamgirls’ Set<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n ,<\/p>\n <\/a> Eddie Murphy Recalls ‘Clairvoyant’ Girlfriend Who Predicted He’d Become Famous<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n Shooting Near Atlanta’s Emory University and CDC Leaves Suspect Dead, Officer Injured<\/a><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n Dave Franco ‘Open’ to Playing Luigi Mangione \u2014 With One Condition<\/a><\/i><\/b><\/p>\nRelated Products<\/h3>\n
