His Beverly Hills Cop return has wrecked his body
Eddie is returning as lieutenant Axel Foley in a fourth movie in the action comedy franchise, but the stunts he had to perform for the role were not great for his body now he's in his 60s.
He explained to Collider: "I'm not 21. It was a long time ago, and it's a really physical movie. And then I had to do some physical stuff. I know Tom Cruise likes to do physical stuff, but […] I like to be on the couch. I don't like to be jumping over, and shooting, and running, and I had to do some jumping and shooting and running, and as a result, had a knee brace at the end of the movie. I had a knee brace, and my back is messed up, and all that. But the movie is going to be special.”
