Eddie Murphy says Michael Jackson was so shy he hide from celebrities
Eddie Murphy – The 61-year-old comic was a longtime friend of Michael’s and rose to fame thanks to the singer’s influence on ‘Saturday Night Live.’ Still, the King of Pop was nowhere near as outgoing as the actor, and Eddie said he found such a rat-pack.
Overwhelmed by nerves at a movie night at star Sammy Davis Jr.’s home, he hid behind a door.
Eddie talks about partying in the 1980s on Wednesday (25.01.23) on ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live! He was hiding behind the door. She said, ‘Eddie, come on!’
The ‘Beverly Hills Cop’ actor said that when he went to Michael – who died of a heart attack caused by a tranquilizer overdose at his home on June 25, 2009, at the age of 50 – he asked the ‘Bad’ singer: “What the f***, yo?”
He then mimicked Michael to describe Jimmy as a ‘Thriller’ artist, replying: “There’s a lot of people in it!”
Eddie added his ‘Saturday Night Live’ sketches about Michael, which he did before accusing the singer of child molestation, were never “mean” because “I knew him.”
The pair’s work included collaboration on the 1993 R&B single ‘Whatsupwith.’
