@netflix The laughter, the legacy, the life. Being Eddie. Streaming November 12. #EddieMurphy #BeingEddie
What started as a casual watch quickly pivoted to a masterclass on personal branding, focus, and creative vision that every creator can appreciate. Here are some quick takes:
Vision dictates behavior. Eddie knew exactly what he wanted early on — and every choice flowed from that clarity.
Traditional paths are optional. No college. Straight to SNL. That became his “college,” sharpening his craft in real time.
Reinvention is a power move, not a risk. When stand-up stopped being fun, he walked away — without apologizing for it for decades at the height of his career.
Experimentation creates breakthroughs. His biggest pivots → his biggest wins: Dr. Dolittle, Shrek, The Nutty Professor, and more.
You have to love you. With all the culturally iconic work, Eddie Murphy has never won an Oscar. He’s a multi-millionaire who single-handlely helped to usher in an onslaught of black comedians and filmmakers since the 80s.
Family is everything.
Eddie kept his brother close, and a tight inner circle over the years. If folks are no longer a fit for your growth they gotta go.
