Eddie Murphy reveals if he's heard from Will Smith after THAT Golden Globes ... trends now
After making a joke about Will Smith slapping Chris Rock, Eddie Murphy was quick to remind the public the punchline was meant to be taken lightly.
While accepting a Golden Globe on Tuesday, Eddie joked that one key to success was to 'keep Will Smith’s wife’s name out your f***ing mouth!'
However, it seems that the Coming to America star isn't too worried about having possibly offended the Smith family.
When asked whether he had spoken to Smith or Rock since making the joke, the 61-year-old comedy icon said: 'No, I haven't. But I love both of them.'

Murphy added to Entertainment Tonight: 'Yeah, because in reality, I've worked with Jada. I love Will. I love Will, and I love Chris — and it's all love.'
The actor then said that he doesn't believe he will hear from Smith after making the remark, and told Extra he would have made the same joke if he were hosting this year's Oscars.
'I would have worked that joke that I did right in there some kind of way,' he told Extra.
Explaining why he told the joke, Murphy revealed: 'You have to say something about it, then you move on.'
