Eddie Murphy showed off his comedy chops as he left his family in stitches during his 65th birthday celebrations.

The actor was surrounded by his loved ones - including wife Paige and many of his 10 children - as he celebrated the special day on Friday (3 April)

Footage shared by his son Ray shows the comedian sitting in front of a huge cake as his family sang “Happy Birthday” to him. As they sang, the 65-year-old interjected with snappy quips such as “you bet your a**”, which sent the room into hysterics.
