Eddie Murphy Says Marlon Brando Once Told Him 'Acting Is Bullshit' and He Couldn't 'Stand' Clint Eastwood
A dinner invitation from Marlon Brando was simply an offer Eddie Murphy couldn't refuse.
Recalling a memorable conversation he had with the late two-time Oscar winner, Murphy, 63, recalled some of the exchanges he had with Brando, who was known for never mincing words.
In an interview with The New York Times' podcast “The interview,” The “Trading Places” actor detailed the time he was invited to the late actor's home after his first-ever film role, in “48 Hrs” in 1982.
“It was a long time ago: he was like, ‘I can’t stand that kid with the gun.’ I was like, ‘What kid with the gun?’ He was like, ‘He’s on the poster!’” Murphy said.
“I was like, 'Clint Eastwood?', 'Yeah, that guy!' He called Clint Eastwood 'that kid,'” he added.
Although he called Eastwood a “kid,” Brando was only six years older than the “Million Dollar Baby” star.
Elsewhere, Murphy recalled the very first time he spent time with Brando, who died aged 80 in 2004.
Brando picked Murphy up at a rooftop restaurant at the luxury L'Ermitage hotel in Los Angeles, before inviting him to his home.
He picked me up at the hotel. But there was a scheduling error and I arrived half an hour late. He was waiting for me in the car, Murphy recalls.
“We went to his house on Mulholland,” he shared, adding that he “kept talking” about Brando’s 1972 film “The Godfather.”
Brando, who played Don Vito Corleone in the hit film, shrugged off the praise.
“He said, ‘Hey, The Godfather.’ Not just ‘The Godfather’: acting,” Murphy recalls. “He said, ‘Acting is bullshit, and anybody can act.’”
Murphy said he still looks back fondly on those memories today.
“I had famous people that I watched on TV growing up who wanted to share a meal with me,” he said.
“Today I look back on it and I think, 'Wow, that's crazy. The greatest actor of all time wants to have dinner with you!' But at the time I just thought, 'Well, that's just the way it is. You're making a movie and Marlon Brando calls you.'”
