Eddie Murphy has reflected on taking a break from acting after starring in a string of poorly received films in the late 2000s.
Prior to his break from acting, Murphy had been nominated nine times, for films including Norbit, The Adventures of Pluto Nash, and Meet Dave, winning thrice.
However, his acclaimed turn in the 2019 film Dolemite is My Name was widely considered a comeback for the actor.
Between 2013 and 2018, Murphy, once a Hollywood A-lister, appeared in just one film, 2016’s Mr Church.
