He wants Donkey to have a Shrek spin-off

Murphy has voiced the annoyingly hilarious noble steed and best friend of the titular ogre (Mike Myers) in four 'Shrek' films.

Although Antonio Banderas' Puss in Boots has had spin-off movies and a Netflix series, Donkey has never had his own movie and Eddie insists it is time for that to change.

He said: "They should have done a Donkey movie. Donkey is funnier than Puss in Boots. I mean, I love Puss in Boots, but he ain't funnier than Donkey,"
