Netflix dropped the first trailer for Being Eddie, a new documentary diving into Eddie Murphy’s five-decade journey through comedy, film, and fame. The project traces his rise from teenage stand-up to SNL breakout and global movie icon, featuring rare archival clips and candid reflections from Murphy himself. It explores how he redefined modern comedy, smashed racial and cultural barriers, and stayed grounded through superstardom. Friends, collaborators, and rivals weigh in on what makes Murphy’s genius endure. The tone blends humor and vulnerability, peeling back the persona to reveal the person. Being Eddie hits Netflix later this year.
