Eddie Murphy Says Coming 2 America Almost Had A Cameo From The Klumps
Coming to America,
The Adventures of Pluto Nash and
Meet Dave, but perhaps his most famous and popular example of wearing multiple hats came in
The Nutty Professor and its successor
The Klumps.
The actor played at least seven roles in both movies, with Buddy Love the only one that didn’t require him to get into the makeup chair. The comedian portrayed Sherman, Cletus, Mama, Granny and Ernie Klump, as well as fitness instructor Lance Perkins, while in the sequel he did it all over again, adding a young version of Cletus Klump into the mix for good measure. The two installments combined to earn over $440 million at the box office, making the duology a pair of Murphy’s biggest commercial hits ever.
