LONDON, Aug 23: Actor Eddie Murphy says there were number of times he was offered drugs by his friends but he thanks God that he has never taken them.
The 55-year-old comedian revealed that his late “Saturday Night Live” castmates John Belushi, who died from a cocaine and heroin overdose in 1982, and actor Robin Williams, who committed suicide two years ago, offered him drugs but he refused, reported Female First.
“I don’t drink. I don’t have like this moral thing about it, I just don’t do it and I didn’t get high.
“(One night out) Belushi and Robin Williams offered me some cocaine and I didn’t take it. Then, years later, I was like, Wow, that’s a trip. (If I’d accepted it) The Eddie Murphy story would have been totally different,” he said.
Murphy recalled old times when he could have involved in wrong things but felt relief that he did not do anything like that.
“There are a bunch of things like that that I look back on and be like, ‘Wow.’ And that just reaffirms my faith. I know that God is real. There’s been a bunch of times when I could have wound up crashing and burning,” he added. (PTI)
