Mike Myers turned heads by showing up dressed as Shrek to honor Eddie Murphy at the AFI Life Achievement Award ceremony in L.A. on Saturday night. The duo, who voiced the ogre and Donkey in the franchise, shared a hilarious full-circle moment. Myers went full glam with green face paint and ogre ears to praise his longtime collaborator.
Darlings, picture this: black-tie Hollywood elegance interrupted by an actual ogre. 😈 Mike Myers committed to the bit, rolling up to Eddie Murphy's AFI Life Achievement Award gala looking straight out of 'Shrek'—green face, pointy ears, the works. He hit the stage to rave about Murphy, calling him 'lovable, hilarious, joyous, vulnerable, and loyal.' 'Eddie combines all of those in a tour de force, and plainly put, Eddie is one of the greatest,' Myers declared to the roaring crowd. 🔥 Eyes emoji for that shade-free shade? Nah, pure love for the Donkey voice that stole every scene and made the franchise a billion-dollar beast—Myers said it wouldn't have been the same without Murphy's comedic mastery. More than two decades post-first film, iconic reunion vibes. The room? Stacked with comedy kings like Dave Chappelle, Chris Rock, and Martin Lawrence. Jennifer Hudson slayed a 'Dreamgirls' musical tribute, naturally. Murphy, mic in hand, got real: he was this close to tears seeing family and peers turn up. But Eddie being Eddie, he cracked, 'If you made me wait until I was 92, I would’ve came out here and said f*** everybody … and then I’d get down and s*** on the floor. We staved off that happening by getting this award tonight.' 😂 Messy? Nah, legendary. Myers as Shrek crashing Murphy's night? That's the tea everyone's sipping. So, Hollywood, what's your next full-circle flex?
