“That’s just a joke ’cause I’m never having a funeral. I mean, I’m gonna die like everyone else. But (my loved ones) know…no funeral. Just let me go quietly,” He said
The actor, who just turned 63, is promoting the fourth part of the “Beverly Hills Cop series, “Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F,” now available on Netflix. Despite his roles in other hit movies like “Coming to America,” “Dr. Dolittle,” and voicing Donkey in “Shrek,” it’s his portrayal of the street-smart cop, Axel Foley, that fans still love. In the interview, Murphy talked about the comparisons between his character, Foley, and the iconic spy, James Bond.
“I’ve been asked how I feel about playing ‘the Black James Bond,’” he chuckled. “I tell them I don’t need to be some Black James Bond. I have Axel Foley and he has theme music and everything.”
