American actor Eddie Murphy recently opened up about his upcoming film Dolemite Is My Name and semi-retirement from acting. In an interview with Al Roker, which will air on Friday, the 58-year-old actor talked about his upcoming film. “I still am in the semi-retired state,” the actor said. “For maybe five or six years, I was on the couch, just doing nothing, and not planning and not trying to get anything. I had things in development, but I just was doing nothing,” he added.
