Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F star Eddie Murphy has announced that his daughter Bria will make a surprise appearance in the new film.
The protagonist of the Beverly Hills Cop saga is a father of ten children and has stated that one of his real children will play a small role in the upcoming film. Bria plays a police officer who arrests Axel Foley in the fourth film, with her husband also making a cameo appearance.
“She’s the one who arrests me,” Murphy told Al Roker in an interview on TODAY on June 18.

“And in the other scene in the movie where I get arrested, my son-in-law shoots me in the neck with a taser. This was right after their wedding. It was on set when he shoots me in the neck with a taser. I was like, ‘This is surreal.'”
On reprising his role as Axel 30 years after the last film, Murphy said: “I felt like an old man. I made ‘Beverly Hills Cop’ when I was 21. And now I’m 63.”
The star also recalled an incident on set that made him realize there were things he simply wouldn’t do at age 63.

“We were shooting something and the director said, ‘I want you to come out here and run down these steps.’ And after we shot, he said, ‘Can you come down faster and more urgently?’ And I said, ‘No!'” he said, laughing.
It sounds like Murphy will scale back the action in the future and look for other roles inspired by a particular actor.
“I was like, ‘I’m not doing anything action. Don’t call me unless you’re offering me the same shit you’d offer Morgan Freeman,'” he joked.
Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F will be released on Netflix on July 3rd.
