his older brother, Charlie Murphy<\/a>. The comedian and actor, who appeared on episodes of \u201cChappelle’s Show\u201d and co-wrote \u201cNorbit\u201d and \u201cVampire in Brooklyn\u201d with Murphy, died from leukemia in 2017 at age 57.<\/p>\n\u201cWhen I start talking about my brother, that was emotional,\u201d Murphy says. \u201cA little flicker, though, just enough that you feel it.\u201d<\/p>\n
The \u201cBeing Eddie\u201d subject is a little perplexed when asked who the real Eddie Murphy is. \u201c\u200aI’m a unique human being, and I’m an Eddie,\u201d he says. \u201cAnd I’m a really creative person, and I can express creativity in different areas. That\u2019s who I am.\u201d \u200a<\/p>\n
He\u2019s also a proud father of 10 children, ranging in age from 7 to 35. His brood briefly appears in the documentary.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt the center of everything is my relationship with my children,\u201d Murphy says. \u201cThat\u2019s my greatest accomplishment, and that’s my legacy is my children, and my world revolves around them. Everything comes after them.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Eddie Murphy knows he’ll “kick out” eventually.
