‘I Forced Myself to Stop’: Eddie Murphy Recalls Retiring Trademark Laugh

6 comments

1. How sad is this? Guy lost his aura after too. So sad. Never let another man break you like this. Wow

2. Who else here is old enough to remember when he tried to piggy back a singing career off of Rick James?

3. God I wish it were possible to get him to do a trading places 2. Such a classic.

   It’s a real shame that he felt the need to stop laughing because of the impressions of him. It was legitimately iconic, but I don’t think anyone thought of him as just his laugh.

4. If Party All the Time comes on the radio I’m listening to that with only some shame 😆

5. You mean the laugh he stole from Ricky Ricardo?

6. That’s one of the main things I was looking forward to see in the new sequel 🙁
