Actor and comedian Eddie Murphy’s motivation doesn’t come from accolades. However, the actor-comedian doesn’t have a problem with an Oscar on his shelf. The 64-year-old actor has enjoyed huge success in Hollywood, starring in hit film franchises like ‘Beverly Hills Cop’ and ‘Shrek’, but Eddie insists that he`s not motivated by awards, reports ‘Female First UK’.

He told Sky News, “The movies are timeless, and they`re special, so for years and years those movies play and the movies have commercial success. So you make a lot of money and people love it, so you don`t even think about ‘I didn`t win a trophy’. The response from the people and that the movie has legs, that`s the trophy”.

He further mentioned, “You know what I`ve earned over these years? One day, they`ll give me one of those honorary Oscars. When I`m really old. And I`ll say thank you so much for this wonderful honour. I`ll be old like that and I`ll have no teeth. I`m cool with getting my honorary Oscar when I`m 90”. As per ‘Female First UK’, Eddie stars alongside Pete Davidson in ‘The Pickup’, the new action-comedy movie, and the actor recently claimed that he has "a lot in common" with Pete. Eddie also revealed that he relished the experience of working with Pete, a former Saturday Night Live star.
