24 Nov - Eddie Murphy recently revealed that there are actually three movies that he wished he didn't turn down throughout his career.

The comedic actor, who was interviewed by AP as part of the promotion of his new documentary, "Being Eddie," said that his three "wish I would have done" films are "Ghostbusters," (1984) "Rush Hour," (1998) and "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" (1988).

However, Murphy stressed that he doesn't regret it that much, especially "Ghostbusters," seeing that he turned it down for "Beverly Hills Cop," which turned out to be a hit as well.

"It was do this or that, so it worked out cool. And 'Who Framed Roger Rabbit' just sounded ridiculous to me, and I passed on it. And afterwards, I was like, 'Oh, that's f****** amazing.'" he said.

In a past interview, Murphy revealed that he turned down "Rush Hour," which then went to Chris Tucker, as he decided to do "Holy Man" instead, saying that the nature of the production appealed more to him.

"Every bad decision I've made has been based on money. I grew up in the projects and you don't turn down money there. You take it, because you never know when it's all going to end," he said at the time.
