Eddie Murphy says he refused cocaine from John Belushi and Robin Williams.
He told the Hollywood Reporter, “[John] Belushi and Robin Williams offered me some blow and I didn’t take it,” and claims Belushi called him a “tight-ass.”
He added of never winning an Oscar, “They [the Academy] don’t have a hand in what gets made, you know? They can’t control it if nothing came in that black folks was in . . . was Oscar-worthy. So it’s not them. The studios gotta start making more stuff where black folks get quality stuff . . . I’ve been making movies for 35 years and I’ve played everything from an old lady to a donkey, so I can’t be on here talking about, ‘They don’t give us enough roles’ and diversity.”
