Eddie Murphy Reflects on Fatherhood
In a recent interview, Eddie Murphy reflected on his large family, stating, “It just happened. I never knew I would have 10 kids, but now it’s the best thing ever. If you can afford that many kids, you should have as many kids as you can afford. That is fun.” He praised his children, saying, “My children are all decent people. I don’t have one rotten one, and I would like to think that they got some of that from me.”
