The Beverly Hills Cop actor is considering returning to his previous career as a stand-up comedian.
He told US TV show Extra: “Thirty years and I have close to 50 movies and it is like, ‘Why am I in the movies? I’ve done that part now. I’ll go back to the stage and do stand-up.’”
Although Eddie, 47, confirmed Beverly Hills Cop 4 is in production, he admitted he didn’t want to do it because it “wasn’t ready to be done”.
The actor also confessed he isn’t a fan of Beverly Hills Cop 3 but was motivated to sign up to the sequel by the huge money on offer.
He said: “The third one was horrible, so I didn’t want to do another one.
“The producers wrote some s**t down on paper and I said, ‘Is this your phone number?’ and they said, ‘This is how much we’re going to pay you.’ I said, ‘Let’s go shoot it! I don’t care if the script isn’t right.’”
Meanwhile, Beverly Hills Cop 4 director Brett Ratner has hit out at reports that the movie will have a PG rating.
He said: “Don’t believe everything you read on the internet. Believe me, this is going to be a hardcore R Beverly Hills Cop. I start shooting next year.”
