News > Eddie Murphy To Retire From Films

Looks like "SNL" alum and "The Nutty Professor" star Eddie Murphy will throwing in the towel.

Extra (obviously our favorite news source) got this quote out of Murphy:

"I have close to fifty movies and it's like, why am I in the movies?" he said, adding, "I've done that part now. I'll go back to the stage and do standup."
As a huge fan of Murphy's earlier, raunchier work (especially his stand up films), this actually sounds like a good idea. But since this is Hollywood, expect a "Norbit 2" by the summer of 2011. No way he's sticking to his retirement.
