Eddie Murphy Shares Touching Beyoncé Moment from Dreamgirls Set
8 Aug
Summary
- Eddie Murphy witnessed Beyoncé helping Jennifer Hudson with ashy skin
- Beyoncé immediately offered Hudson moisturizer to address the issue
- Murphy kept this behind-the-scenes moment private until now
According to a recent interview, actor Eddie Murphy has been holding onto a heartwarming behind-the-scenes story from the set of the 2006 film Dreamgirls. Murphy, who starred in the movie, recalled witnessing a candid moment between co-stars Beyoncé and Jennifer Hudson.
At the time, Murphy was "on automatic pilot" during the filming, as he was going through a divorce. However, he distinctly remembers seeing Beyoncé and Hudson in between takes, with Hudson having some dryness on her fingers. Without hesitation, Beyoncé immediately stepped in and offered Hudson some moisturizer, saying, "Ooh girl, don't do that. I'll get you some cream."
This thoughtful gesture from the superstar singer left a lasting impression on Murphy, who had kept the story private until now. He noted that neither Beyoncé nor Hudson were aware that he had witnessed their interaction.
The Dreamgirls film followed the rise to fame of a 1960s Motown singing group, with Effie (played by Hudson) initially as the lead singer before being pushed aside by the group's manager, Curtis (Jamie Foxx), in favor of Deena (Beyoncé). Hudson's powerful performance earned her the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress in 2007.
