Noah Wyle Recalls a Blunt Childhood Encounter With Eddie Murphy

Noah Wyle’s childhood encounter with Eddie Murphy apparently came with a sharp dismissal. According to NME, The Pitt star says Murphy told him to “fuck off” when Wyle was nine years old.

Wyle places the incident in the early 1980s, as Murphy was building his profile on Saturday Night Live. The account offers a less-than-warm recollection of meeting the rising comedian, though the available summary provides no further context for the exchange.
