NY Post
A dinner invite from Marlon Brando was simply an offer Eddie Murphy could not refuse.
Recalling a memorable conversation he had with the late 2-time Oscar winner, Murphy, 63, recalled a couple of exchanges he had with Brando, who was known to never mince words.
In an interview with the New York Times’ podcast “The Interview,” the “Trading Places” actor detailed the time he was invited to the late actor’s home following his first-ever film role, in 1982’s “48 Hrs.”
“This is how long ago it was: He was going, ‘I can’t stand that kid with the gun.’ I was like, ‘What kid with the gun?’ He said, ‘He’s on the poster!’ ” Murphy called.
“I was like, ‘Clint Eastwood?’ ‘Yeah, that guy!’ He was calling Clint Eastwood ‘that kid,'” he added.
Despite calling Eastwood a “kid,” Brando was just six years older than the “Million Dollar Baby” star.
