Eddie Murphy Shares Dreamgirls Set Story

Eddie Murphy recently recounted a private moment between Beyoncé and Jennifer Hudson from the set of the 2006 film Dreamgirls during an interview on Complex’s 360 With Speedy. He described seeing Beyoncé discreetly offer hand cream to Hudson after noticing her trying to remove ash from her finger, a moment neither star knew Murphy had witnessed. This is the first time Murphy has shared the anecdote publicly. The story has led to social media debate about whether such behind-the-scenes moments should be revealed, with opinions divided over the breach of privacy versus admiration for Beyoncé’s kindness. Murphy, who received an Oscar nomination for his role in Dreamgirls, is currently promoting his new film, The Pickup. The anecdote emphasizes both the camaraderie among the Dreamgirls cast and public interest in Hollywood’s off-camera stories.
