Oh, it's always great to have them tell you that you look great and that you still look like you. That's a nice feeling,” says Eddie Murphy on a Pacific Time video call. The star, at 63, has aged like fine wine. Seeing him on my laptop screen, it is hard to believe that he launched his career at the age of 19 with Saturday Night Live back in 1980. “All I can say is thank you. I don’t know, I can't tell you what to do. I don’t have any skincare regimen. That’s just genetics, and I’m lucky. And I don’t drink alcohol. I never drank alcohol. That’s the other thing (Laughs),” he adds, taking a moment to let the compliment sink in.
