Aries Spears on Eddie Murphy Documentary Not Mentioning Him Picking Up Trans Woman

In a recent interview, comedian Aries Spears shared his thoughts on the new Eddie Murphy documentary, praising it as a must-watch for fans. While Spears enjoyed the film’s celebration of Murphy's talent, including a standout segment featuring Murphy’s iconic impressions via puppetry, he noted that the documentary conspicuously omitted certain controversial stories—specifically the rumored incident involving Murphy picking up a transgender woman. Spears confirmed that such content was clearly excluded, likely due to Murphy’s involvement and control over the project. The duo also reflected on Murphy’s career highlights, debating his top films like *48 Hours*, *Trading Places*, and *Coming to America*, with Spears categorizing Murphy’s early blockbuster years as his "Chicago Bulls" era versus his later "Washington Wizards" family-friendly phase. Despite some critics overlooking films like *Boomerang* and *Harlem Nights*, Spears emphasized their importance in Murphy’s filmography. Overall, Spears admired the documentary’s depth but acknowledged its selective storytelling.
