Overview
- In Being Eddie, released on Netflix in mid-November 2025, Murphy recounts a Studio 54 moment from his 21st birthday in 1982.
- He says Brynner, with his wife present, asked him to return to their apartment to "party," which Murphy declined with "Nah, I'm cool!"
- Coverage emphasizes that the account comes from Murphy’s recollection, with no independent confirmation of Brynner’s intent.
- Outlets note a timeline wrinkle about Brynner’s marital status at the time, citing a divorce in 1981 or 1982 and a remarriage in 1983.
- The film situates the story within Murphy’s broader reflections on awards recognition, his long SNL estrangement and later reconciliation, and his family life.
