“Does that seem like a lot to you or does that seem OK?” DeGeneres asked as a few audience members gasped. “It seems OK,” Eddie quipped. “It’s funny the reaction the audience gives. Men kind of look at me like, ‘He’s crazy. How much did that s— cost?’ And women, there’s something sexy about it. ‘Eddie Murphy must be doing his thing. Eddie Murphy be gettin’ it in.’”

Eddie also discusses starring in the upcoming Coming to America sequel.

“I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out,” Eddie confirms. “That movie more than any picture that I’ve done, I don’t know what it is in the culture — like, on Halloween, some people get dressed up as characters from the movie — so a lot of people had this exception. People would say to me when they found out I was doing it, ‘Don’t f— that movie up. Don’t mess with it.’ So we’ve gone above and beyond about what anybody would thing. I’m really, really happy with it.”
