Eddie Murphy is back in the spotlight, continuing to bring laughter to audiences worldwide.

The legendary comedian, now 64, celebrates the 45th anniversary of his groundbreaking debut on “Saturday Night Live” in 1980, as he prepares to unveil a new documentary titled “Being Eddie.”

In a recent chat on the “Today” show, Murphy shared insights into his life, touching on topics like fame, family, and the tantalizing possibility of a return to stand-up comedy.

When questioned about stepping back onto the comedy stage, Murphy left the door open.

“I’m considering it. I just need to wake up one day and feel that it would be enjoyable,” he remarked. “The last time I performed stand-up, I was 27, and now I’m 64. The guy who wore the leather suit is now a grandpa. Honestly, it would be amusing if I wore a leather suit again now.”

Murphy — who has starred in nearly 50 films since leaving “SNL” — reflected on his career.

“I’m still here,” he said. “Just to be in this business and just to be going and going for all of these years — all around the world — it’s a unique blessing. To have made it all the way through and with my sanity and spirit intact, that’s what I’m most proud of.”

The Oscar-nominated star also shared what led him to release the new documentary.

“2026 is my 50th year in show business,” Murphy said. “That’s a huge milestone.”

Even with nearly five decades in the spotlight, Murphy said he’s focused on staying grounded.

“I try to spend as much time as I can with constructive thinking — constructive thinking is the present moment.”

In “Being Eddie,” Murphy opened up about his early life and said he always knew he was headed for stardom.

“I knew I was going to be famous — I was the funniest kid, always,” he said. “But not the class clown, though. I was always the cool dude. I wore suits to school, carried a briefcase. I was the cool dude in the back who could do impressions of teachers or the school bully. I had a line and a voice very early on.”

From “SNL” sketches to Hollywood blockbusters, Murphy has starred in comedy classics from “Coming to America” to voicing Donkey in the hit animated film “Shrek.”

But he said the foundation of his success is his family.

Now a father of 10 and a grandfather, Murphy said, “My kids are the center of everything. The greatest foundation to build anything on is family — that’s the most powerful thing there is.”

Murphy has 10 children born between 1989 and 2018, with five different women.

His eldest, Eric Murphy, is from his relationship with Paulette McNeely.

He shares five children with ex-wife Nicole Mitchell — Bria, Myles Mitchell, Shayne Audra, Zola Ivy and Bella Zahra.

Murphy also has a son, Christian, with Tamara Hood; and a daughter, Angel Iris Murphy Brown, with former Spice Girl Mel B.

With his current wife, Paige Butcher, he welcomed daughter Izzy Oona Murphy in 2016 and son Max Charles in 2018.

Murphy is also a grandfather. His son Myles and wife Carly Fink welcomed a daughter, Evie Isla Murphy, in 2019, followed by a second daughter, Zuri Liv, in 2024.
