Return to the screen for American star Eddie Murphy. 33 years ago, Prince Akeem of Zamunda, a wealthy African nation, came to America to seek love. Today king, he returns to seek his heir, in the film A prince in New York 2. A risky return, because King Eddie Murphy has not always known fame. In the early 80s, he made a name for himself in the stand-up industry. And very quickly, the cinema pampered its new star with cult films such as 48 hours, An armchair for two, the saga The Flic of Beverly Hills and A prince in New York.
The ascent is dizzying. Almost too much. “I think it made his head spin, he made some bad choices. Criticism has taken hold of it. He was then murdered. He had an absolutely crazy desert crossing”, Affirms Alain Grasset, film critic. The dubbing of the cartoon Shrek maintains his notoriety in the 2000s. His career will nevertheless have had a significant impact on Hollywood: still rare on the screen in the 80s, black American actors have, in part, won their throne of star thanks to the success ofEddie Murphy.
