Kevin Bacon recently expressed his excitement about working with Eddie Murphy on the upcoming film Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F. The actor described the experience as a "bucket list thing" and praised Murphy as one of the greatest movie stars ever. In the Mark Molloy-directed movie, Murphy reprises his iconic role as Detroit detective Axel Foley, while Bacon portrays Captain Grant. Despite rising to fame in the same era, the two actors did not have many interactions in the 80s. Bacon highlighted Murphy's impressive comedy skills, noting his ability to improvise effortlessly without trying to be funny. Working together on the fourth installment of Beverly Hills Cop, Bacon was in awe of Murphy's talent and comedic timing. Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F debuts on Netflix on July 3, featuring Murphy returning to Beverly Hills to uncover a conspiracy with the help of new and old friends. Bacon's admiration for Murphy's acting skills and their enjoyable on-set experience shines through in his recent interview with People magazine.
