Eddie Murphy – Calls Gerry Turner And Theresa Nist’s Love “The Same Old Sh**”
If you think you’re the only one who’s mega-disappointed at how Turner and Nist’s love story turned out, you haven’t met Eddie Murphy.
The “Coming to America” star, 63, voiced his disappointment at Turner and Nist’s short-lived romance in a new episode of ‘The New York Times’ The Interview podcast. According to the star, he watched “all of” the ABC dating show when it aired last fall.
“Hey, they broke up, too. You know they broke up,” Murphy said, angrily adding, “What kind of s-t is that? Three months later. I watched that s-t, I was like, ‘This is so nice, they found love in the second part of they life. This is a nice show. Bravo!’”
He then shared his reaction at the time he heard the news of the split, saying, “Then I find motherf-ckers broke up three months later. The same old s—”
Well if there’s one thing we learnt from the whole short-lived romance, it’s that the oldies don’t got time to give to something that doesn’t work in hopes it eventually would.
In the same interview, Murphy joked about favoring family shows to the “hip stuff.”
“It’s not hip stuff,” he said.
“I’m not ashamed to say it. I watch every night, at 6 o’clock, right at dinner, I watch Steve Harvey and Family Feud. And on Tuesdays, I watch The Masked Singer.”
The star, who is rumored will return to voice “Shrek’s” donkey in the character’s first solo movie, added: “My wife and I, we watch all those shows, the singing competitions and that kind of stuff.
I be like, ‘Nah, I ain’t supposed to be watching no s— like this. Then you say, ‘I wonder who that turtle is?’ That s— pull you in, you be wondering who it is.”
