Hollywood legend Eddie Murphy has spoken out about his parenthood and revealed he feels glad that his children turned out to be good people.
Speaking of his ten children, the Coming 2 America actor admitted he’s got a great relationship with every single one of them. He also insisted that he feels blessed to have kids who are normal people rather than Hollywood jerks.
“I am going to be 60 in April and I have all these babies, I love fatherhood. That is the center of everything. The whole idea of being out there and doing three movies a year, that s*** is over. I have got all these babies,” the father of five daughters and five sons said, The Mirror reported.
“I found it over and over again and along the way I realized that if you put your children first you never make a bad decision. When you hit a crossroads moment or you have got some s***, you think, ‘Well, what is best for my children?’”
As the Hollywood star, who is engaged to Paige Butcher, added, he feels lucky that his kids are smart and trying to do something with their lives.
“I am so blessed with my kids. I don’t have one bad seed. I don’t have any like, ‘Oh you are the one’. I don’t have any of that,” Murphy insisted.
“My kids are so great, normal people – and nobody is like the Hollywood jerk kid. My kids are smart and are trying to do stuff. I am blessed with my kids. I really, really got lucky.”
The 59-year-old Coming to America star is a father to ten children aged from 2 to 31. He shares two kids, including 2-year-old Max and 4-year-old Izzy, with his 41-year-old Australian fiancé.
