After making fun of Will Smith and Chris Rock’s Oscars altercation, Eddie Murphy declares his affection for both of them.

On Tuesday, January 10, 2023, during the 2023 Golden Globes, the 61-year-old actor and comedian received the Cecil B. DeMille award. During his address, he made some lighthearted suggestions for succeeding in Hollywood.

He quipped: “I want to let you know there’s a definitive blueprint that you can follow to achieve success, prosperity and peace of mind. It’s very simple.

“There’s three things: pay your taxes, mind your business and keep Will Smith’s wife’s name out your f****** mouth!

He was referring to the 2022 Academy Awards, when Will walked on stage and slapped Chris after he made a joke about his wife Jada Pinkett Smith.

Asked if he thought he’d hear from Will after his speech, he told ‘Extra’: “No, but I love Will, and I love Chris.”

Speaking to ‘Entertainment Tonight’, he said: “I’ve worked with Jada. I love Will. I love Will, and I love Chris – and it’s all love.”

And he added: “You gotta remember, at the roots I’m a comic so I can write a joke.”

He also talked about getting the career achievement award and that it was an honour.

He explained: “It’s a prestigious award. And like I said, when you receive stuff like this when you’re older – You really appreciate it more. Now you do.”
