Eddie Murphy

Eddie was born in 1961 and immediately cracked everyone by going ‘Damn, hot in there. Roomy though, what you been up to Mom?’ At his school careers day, he was recommended a career in the wiseass industry but decided to go into comedy instead where, with his innovative use of swearing, he became the greatest comedian of the 80s.
