Golden Globes 2023: Eddie Murphy Reveals The Blueprint To Achieve Success & Peace Of Mind During His Award Acceptance Speech & It Has Will Smith Connect To It!

During his acceptance speech for the Cecil B. DeMille Award at the Golden Globes 2023 on Tuesday night (Wednesday morning), Eddie Murphy offered some key advice for up-and-comers in the industry: Don’t mess with Will Smith, reports ‘Variety’.

“I want to let you know that there is a definitive blueprint that you can follow to achieve success, prosperity, longevity and peace of mind,” Murphy said at the end of his speech. “It’s a blueprint and I’ve followed it my whole career. It’s very simple, just do these three things: pay your taxes, mind your business and keep Will Smith’s wife’s name out of your f***ing mouth!”

The joke — which, of course, references the infamous moment at last year’s Oscars when Will Smith slapped comedian Chris Rock for making a jab at Jada Pinkett Smith’s alopecia — resulted in rapturous, shocked laughter from the audience, according to ‘Variety’.
