Eddie Murphy avoids reviews

Actor-comedian Eddie Murphy has said he hasn't read a review of his work in two decades.

The 55-year-old "Mr Church" star opts not to read any critiques of the movies he stars in despite insisting they don't have any "effect on him at all", reported Los Angeles Times.

"Oh, reviews have no effect on me at all. I haven't read a review in, easily, 20, 25 years. I used to. I remember when 'Coming to America' came out, Siskel and Ebert gave it two thumbs way down, saying it sucked," Murphy said.

"Then 10, 15 years later, I remember seeing them do a retrospective and they were both, 'The classic 'Coming to America' blah blah blah.' The shelf life of movies changes over the years."
