Eddie Murphy, best known for his work on Saturday Night Live, Daddy Daycare, Shrek and Dolemite Is My Name, turned 65 years old on Friday. Born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, specifically the Bushwick neighborhood, his father was a transit police officer and amateur actor and comedian. His father was murdered when Murphy was eight years old, and when his mom became ill, he and his older brother Charlie lived in the foster care system, which developed his sense of humor.
The comedian has received many accolades throughout his 50-year career, including a Golden Globe Award, an Emmy Award and a Grammy Award for Best Comedy Album in 1984 for his self-titled comedy album. In addition, he has many nominations for the Oscar Awards and the BAFTAs.

"I knew I was going to always be famous," he told the TODAY Show four months ago. "I was the funniest kid. But, not the class clown...I was the cool dude in the back that could do an impression of the teacher or the school bully. I had a line for voices very, very early on."
