Part of the promotion of his new movie “You People” out on Netflix today, Eddie Murphy popped in at Jimmy Kimmel Live Show.
During the interview, Kimmel asked if it was true that he watch “Cocoon” at Sammy Davis Jr house. Eddie said it was true and he was with many other stars including Michael Jackson.
“He was hidden behind the door as it was too many people there. […] “So many people in there””. He added that he never made fun of Michael because he knew him and confirmed that his voice was not that high in person.
Kimmel also wanted to know if Eddie met Bubbles. “Yes, I met Bubbles. You know Michael had a real zoo in his house… big zoo with giraffes… he had a zoo so big that giraffes were walking around. Bubbles got too old, he was in a cage and Michael would say “don’t go near the cage”. We had dinner there, they would bring the chimps in, running around while we were eating dinner… it was surreal!”
