Here’s the official synopsis shared by Netflix: “It goes without saying that there is only one Eddie Murphy. No other teen comedian shared a stage with Jerry Seinfeld at 17, and joined the cast of Saturday Night Live right out of high school. No actor has ever played a cop, a doctor, and a donkey — and dominated every facet of Hollywood he’s touched.”
“Fewer still have been an A-list celebrity for over four decades, and never succumbed to its darker side. Murphy’s unusual combination of explosive charisma, focused ambition, raw talent, and deep-set circumspection puts him in a league of his own, and is on full display in Being Eddie, directed by two-time Oscar® winner Angus Wall.”
The doc features many Hollywood legends, such as Jamie Foxx, Dave Chappelle, Tracee Ellis Ross, and Reginald Hudlin. All of them have gathered to honor Eddie’s legendary career and “revisit his breathtaking body of work, all the while revealing the dazzling interior life that has long driven — and grounded — this once-in-a-century star.
Other stars appearing in the Netflix documentary include Arsenio Hall, Chris Rock, Tracy Morgan, Kevin Hart, Kenan Thompson, Pete Davidson, and many more.
Being Eddie begins streaming on November 12.
