Eddie Murphy apologizes for ‘ignorant’ old jokes

Comedian Eddie Murphy has apologized for his old jokes, calling them “ignorant.”

Murphy’s iconic standup shows such as Raw and Delirious would not be acceptable in today’s political correctness era. While promoting his upcoming movie, Dolemite – he said the following:

“I was a young guy processing a broken heart, you know, kind of an asshole,” he said of his controversial standups which have been labeled as both homophobic and misogynistic.

Murphy is also slated to host an upcoming episode of Saturday Night Live!

“I now have a whole lifetime of experiences to draw upon,” Murphy said. “There was a time when I was at the center of everything, what I was doing, and how funny I was and how popular… I’m not at the center. Now my kids are, and everything revolves around them.”

The actor and comedian, Eddie Murphy, was one of the biggest stars of the 80s. He first gained national attention as a cast member on Saturday Night Live and his return to the show in an upcoming episode is well anticipated.
