Why Eddie Murphy Refused to Do Drugs With John Belushi and Robin Williams

Eddie Murphy shared that and much more in a revealing interview with 'The New York Times.'

Murphy was just 19 years old when he joined Saturday Night Live in 1980, a move that gave the iconic sketch show a lifeline (it was reportedly on the verge of being canceled) and turned him into a massive superstar. Past recipients of the award include Jane Fonda, George Clooney, Morgan Freeman, Oprah Winfrey, Robert De Niro, Audrey Hepburn, Harrison Ford, Jodie Foster, Sophia Loren, Steven Spielberg, Denzel Washington, Tom Hanks and more. Not only is he in the middle of promoting his latest project, Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F(out July 3 on Netflix), he's also working on a new Shrek movie.
