Actor Eddie Murphy has accused two late actors John Belushi and Robin Williams of offering him cocaine and that Belushi called him a “tight-ass” for rejecting the hard drug.
"Belushi and Robin Williams offered me some blow (nickname for cocaine) and I didn't take it, and Belushi called me a 'tighta--,' " Murphy told The Hollywood Reporter during a recent podcast. Then, years later, I was like, 'Wow, that's a trip,' " imagine what might have happened if he had accepted the drugs.
Murphy also spoke to the publication about never winning an Oscar award despite major roles he's played in blockbuster movies.
“They [the Academy] don’t have a hand in what gets made, you know? They can’t control it if nothing came in that black folks was in ... was Oscar-worthy. So it’s not them. The studios gotta start making more stuff where black folks get quality stuff ... I’ve been making movies for 35 years and I’ve played everything from an old lady to a donkey, so I can’t be on here talking about, ‘They don’t give us enough roles’ and diversity.”
John Belushi (pictured above) was an American comedian, actor, and musician and is best known for his "intense energy and raucous attitude" while acting and died in 1982 while Robin Williams who died in 2014 was an American stand-up comedian, actor, director, producer, writer and singer.
Williams, battled cocaine and alcohol addiction and checked himself into rehab for depression shortly before he committed suicide in 2014 while Belushi died of a fatal overdose in 1982.
