Eddie Murphy, 63, grew up in New York during the 1960s and has made people laugh with his comedic works with stand-up, television and movies for over 30 years. His works include something for children and adults alike, ranging from titles such as “48 Hrs.,” “Beverly Hills Cop,” “Coming to America,” “Doctor Dolittle” and “Shrek.”
Aside from his professional success, Murphy is also a family man. In fact, he has ten children and is a grandfather as well! As a grandfather, he wants to be called grandpa because he thinks it sounds nicer.
