Mike Myers Honors Eddie Murphy at AFI Award

0:00On May 2nd Mike Myers dropped jaws at the AFI Lifetime Achievement Award for Eddie Murphy by showing up in full Shrek makeup. He straight up said he did it to honor his buddy, calling Murphy the absolute best and crediting him for Shrek's massive success. Myers went on stage to hype Murphy's donkey character as a total masterpiece, lovable, hilarious, and loyal all in one. He even stacked Murphy up against legends like Charlie Chaplin and Peter Sellers, saying it's an honor to have worked with him. Back in the early 1990s, Myers admitted he was too star-struck to even speak when they first met. He called himself a site-specific extrovert, freezing up around that kind of talent, but praised Murphy as super gracious. They voiced Shrek and Donkey together in four films now, building one of animation's biggest franchises. Wish Shrek 5 locked in for June 30th, 2027? These two icons are far from done dropping magic on screen. That's the story for today, Entertainment and Celebrity News. Today, driven by AI, I'm Corey with The Story.
