When Hollywood gathers to celebrate one of its own, the tributes tend to follow a familiar playbook: heartfelt speeches, standing ovations, maybe a few tears. Mike Myers<\/b> threw that playbook out the window on Saturday night.<\/p>\n

[–><\/p>\n

At the AFI Life Achievement Award ceremony on April 18 honoring Eddie Murphy<\/b>, Myers arrived dressed as Shrek \u2014 green makeup, ogre ears and all \u2014 in a tribute to the franchise that paired the two comedy icons for more than two decades.<\/p>\n

The moment, captured in footage shared on Reddit<\/u><\/a>, was a showstopper in an evening already packed with them.<\/p>\n

Myers used his time onstage not just for laughs but for genuine reverence, praising Murphy\u2019s work voicing Donkey in the Shrek franchise.<\/p>\n

[–><\/p>\n

\u201cNone of Shrek\u2019s success could have happened without Eddie Murphy,\u201d Myers said at the ceremony. \u201cEddie\u2019s character, Donkey, is a masterpiece, as is every character Eddie has created over the years.\u201d<\/p>\n

[–><\/p>\n

He went further, summing up what makes Murphy singular in the entertainment world.<\/p>\n

[–><\/p>\n

\u201cLovable, hilarious, joyous, vulnerable, and loyal. Eddie combines all of those in a tour de force, and plainly put, Eddie is one of the greatest,\u201d Myers said.<\/p>\n

[–><\/p>\n

He also spoke personally about the partnership: \u201cIt is my absolute honor to say and to be able to tell my kids that I got to work with Eddie Murphy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Myers wasn\u2019t the only one paying tribute. The ceremony drew a roster of Hollywood heavyweights who have crossed paths with Murphy across his nearly 50-year career.<\/p>\n

[–><\/p>\n

Martin Lawrence<\/b>, Dave Chappelle<\/b>, Chris Rock<\/b>, Arsenio Hall<\/b>, Judge Reinhold<\/b> and Kenan Thompson<\/b> were among those celebrating Murphy\u2019s legacy. Jennifer Hudson performed a Dreamgirls<\/i> medley, a nod to the 2006 film starring Murphy, for which he won a Golden Globe and a SAG Award.<\/p>\n

Murphy received the American Film Institute\u2019s highest honor \u2014 a fitting capstone for a career that began with early stand-up success, including performing at major venues like Madison Square Garden. He went on to become a Saturday Night Live<\/i> cast member for four seasons before dominating the box office with roles in Beverly Hills Cop<\/i>, Coming to America<\/i>, The Nutty Professor<\/i> and the Shrek<\/i> franchise.<\/p>\n

[–><\/p>\n

The timing of Myers\u2019 green-skinned tribute wasn\u2019t accidental. Shrek 5<\/i> has a scheduled theatrical release of June 30, 2027, with Myers, Murphy and Cameron Diaz<\/b> all returning to the cast.<\/p>\n

[–><\/p>\n

That the franchise is coming back makes Myers\u2019 gesture land with even more weight. This wasn\u2019t just a look back at a beloved collaboration \u2014 it was a reminder that the partnership between Shrek and Donkey still has chapters left to write.<\/p>\n
