That’s a lot of Christmas presents.

Eddie Murphy is well used to be questioned about the many films he has been in including Shrek, Mulan and Coming To America.

Having recently just starred in Dolemite Is My Name, Murphy is back in the limelight answering questions and one thing that seems to come up a lot is the fact that he is a father of ten.

Murphy is a parent to ten children, ranging in age from one to 30 years of age, and he says people often react like he’s crazy to have such a big family.

Speaking during a recent interview with Ellen DeGeneres, Murphy spoke about some of the responses he has received;

“Men kind of look at me like, ‘He’s crazy. How much did that s— cost?’ And women, it’s kind of like, something sexy about it I think. ‘Eddie Murphy must be doing this thing. Eddie Murphy be getting it in.'”

Last year, Murphy posed in a beautiful photograph on Christmas Day with all of his ten children and other family members including his fiancé Paige Butcher.

Murphy also recently became a grandfather making his family even bigger but he seems to thrive on having all his loved ones around and couldn’t be happier.
