Keke Palmer Shares Experience Meeting Eddie Murphy in Pajamas

Keke Palmer had a memorable experience meeting Eddie Murphy for the first time almost 15 years ago. They now star together in Prime Video’s The Pickup, a movie about a casino robbery. Their first meeting happened when Palmer was invited to dinner at Murphy’s house by his daughters, who are her close friends.

Palmer was amazed to find herself dining with the legendary Eddie Murphy in his pajamas, playing the guitar like a “typical dad.” She was in awe of his musical skills and couldn’t believe she was sharing a meal with a Hollywood superstar. Years later, when they reunited on set for The Pickup, Palmer approached the experience with a mix of professionalism and excitement, eager to work with someone she had long admired.

Working with Murphy on set was a dream come true for Palmer, who found his presence to be both prestigious and down-to-earth. She learned valuable lessons from Murphy about portraying truth in comedy and appreciated his honest approach to acting. Palmer credits Murphy with helping her prepare for her role in One of Them Days, highlighting his impact on her career and acting style.

The Pickup is now available for streaming on Prime Video, offering viewers a chance to see Keke Palmer and Eddie Murphy in action.
