What Changed Eddie Murphy?
 

He went from being cool, funny and awesome to...Norbit.

...what happened?

Watermelon abuse.

Yea, I saw "Golden Child" and "Coming to America" the other day and I asked that as I watched it. I'm like 'what happened?'

I blame his kids. He even denounced his old movies and standup from what I read once.

Time passed. His schtick got old along with him, and he made alot of bad role decisions.

Money.

He became a jackass

This. Also:

:rofl:

I was gonna say doing the voice of Donkey but he was in Nutty Professor in 1996 and that seems to be the point where he changed.

So blame Disney.

MONEY MONEY MONEY!

Shrek wasn't so bad.

Nutty Professor was horrible. They were watching Norbit today at lunch and I lost all respect for my co-workers.

Probably the same thing that happened to Adam Sandler. Although, Sandler at least threw in some surprising dramatic roles after his departure from raunchy comedy.

Same as what happened to Robin Williams. Except the hair.

Every movie became about him being 1000's characters, and not about the story. Let's also not forget how he dropped Axel Foley and then did Metro. That was stupid.
