Eddie Murphy recently revealed the three movies that he wished he hadn’t turned down: #3. “Ghostbusters”, Not doing “Ghostbusters” didn’t sting TOO much, because he chose “Beverly Hills Cop” instead . . . so it, quote, “worked out cool.” #2. “Roger Rabbit”, Eddie says he didn’t do it because he thought it sounded “ridiculous”. But after he saw it, he realized it was, quote, “[effing] amazing. #1. Rush Hour. FYI, Eddie will receive a Lifetime Achievement Award from the American Film Institute in April. He’ll be just the fourth black recipient, after Sidney Poitier, Morgan Freeman, and Denzel Washington.
