A risky shoot for Eddie Murphy
The actor himself remembers it in a recent interview with Entertainment Tonight, where he recalls a conversation he had with the producer Jerry Bruckheimer.
“I’m 61 years old and I was doing action scenes. You could see my heart beating through my chest. There were many times when I felt like I was going to die on set. I know some actors do those kinds of stunts and such.
Before I made the movie, I said to Jerry, “Listen, I’m 61 years old. Don’t ask me to do things you wouldn’t ask Morgan Freeman to do.” And he said, ‘Okay.’ But then there were some things I had to do. So I ended up jumping, running and rolling. It was too much”.
