During the podcast he shared: “I am going to be 60 in April and I have all these babies. I love fatherhood.”

He added: “The whole idea of being out there and doing three movies a year, that’s over … I found over and over again and along the way I realised that if you put your children first you never make a bad decision.”

Murphy is father to 31-year-old Eric, Bria (31), 30-year-old Christian, Myles (28), 26-year-old Shayne, 21-year-old Zola, 19-year-old Bella and Angel (13).

During the podcast, the actor-comedian added:

“When you hit a crossroads moment or you have got some s**t , you think, ‘Well, what is best for my children?’ If you go that route then you never make a bad decision.” He added,

“I am so blessed with my kids, I don’t have one bad seed. I don’t have any like ‘Oh you are the one.’ I don’t have any of that. My kids are so great, normal people and nobody is like the Hollywood jerk kid.”
