His iconic role in "Coming to America" generated a staggering $350 million globally and initiated a lasting friendship with Arsenio Hall.

This experience inspired him with the idea that belief in one's work is crucial to your career.

Eddie Murphy's iconic role as Donkey in the "Shrek" franchise showcases his instinctive approach to acting, relying on gut feeling rather than extensive research. He even ventured into musicals with "Dream Girls." Although he was initially insecure about his performance and the role was considered a risk for his career, it ultimately ended up paying off.
