S o Paulo, July 3, 2024 - What could be more Brazilian than loving your idol so very much that you use the birth of your child to pay tribute to them? In Brazil, in addition to being an actor and a comedian, Eddie Murphy is a football player in Macei (AL), a logistics assistant in Curitiba (PR), an industrial painter in Novo Horizonte (SP), a musician in Campo Grande (MS), and a delivery man in Ananindeua (PA).

To celebrate the return of the movie franchise and the character who has left his mark on several generations, five Eddie Murphys "Made in Brazil"" are about to prove that there are no fans in the world like Brazilian fans!

Beverly Hills Cop 4: Axel F premieres today, July 3, only on Netflix.

EDDIE MURPHY DA SILVA, 20-YEARS OLD, MACEI (AL)

Eddie Murphy da Silva, who has played for teams such as Fortaleza, Vit ria and Figueirense, was given his name by his father, a fan of the comedian. Whats more, Eddie says that when he was baptized, the priest found his name so odd that he almost refused to go through with the ceremony.

EDDIE MURPHY MARCELINO BARBOSA, 30-YEARS OLD, CURITIBA (PR)

His parents were inspired by the Eddie Murphy movie that was playing at the time they went to register his birth.

EDDIE MOURPHY DE ABREU VIEIRA, 35-YEARS OLD, NOVO HORIZONTE (SP)

Torn between the names Luis Henrique and Luis Fernando, his parents were on their way to the registry office when they happened to see a poster featuring the actor, of whom they are fans.

EDDIE MURPHY FRANKLYN DA SILVA, 32-YEARS OLD, CAMPO GRANDE (MS)

Born four years after the release of Beverly Hills Cop 2, Eddie Murphy Franklyn da Silva owes his name to the movie franchise. The musician teaches wind instruments at his church and even plays the theme song on the trumpet.

EDDIE MURPHY FARIAS NASCIMENTO, 24-YEARS OLD, ANANINDEUA (PA)

His name was going to be Felipe, but his father, a big Eddie Murphy fan, decided to pay tribute to the actor by naming his son - who also became a fan of the comedian - Eddie Murphy Farias Nascimento.
