Eddie Murphy Speaks About His Reunion With Julia Louis-Dreyfus On Netflix's 'You People'

Eddie Murphy is reuniting with his "Saturday Night Live" co-star Julia Louis-Dreyfus on Netflix's upcoming comedy "You People."

The 61-year-old actor expressed his admiration for Dreyfus, whom he has worked with since the beginning of his career.

"I became a huge fan of her on Seinfeld – I watch Seinfeld every night before I go to sleep and I worked with her when we were babies on Saturday Night Live which is kind of the equivalent of, 'Oh you were in college together,'" Murphy told ET in an exclusive interview. "So we were little babies and then both of our careers went and did, you know, and [now] I'm on the set with her these 40 years later!"

"And she's brilliant. She's so, so, so good," the "Beverly Hills Cop" star added.

"You People" is written and directed by Kenya Barris. It follows the couple Ezra and Amira (Jonah Hill and Lauren London) who meet in the most interesting way. When their relationship becomes serious, their families meet and clash due to cultural differences, societal expectations and generational differences. The film also stars Nia Long as Amira's mother, while Murphy plays Amira's father. David Duchovny stars as Ezra's racist father and Louis-Dreyfus portrays the role of her mother.

Netflix earlier dropped a trailer of "You People" featuring Hill mistaking London for an Uber driver.

In the interview, Louis-Dreyfus joked that Murphy must have made "a deal with the devil" because "he looks exactly the same as he did when we were on SNL back in the '80s. I mean, he looks amazing!"

Murphy pointed out that he has certainly aged and is more likely to play father roles now.

"But still' I've aged though. It's all in my feet and my back teeth," the actor said while laughing. "If you saw my feet and my back teeth, you'd be like, 'Oh yeah, he really is in his sixties.'"

Duchovny also praised his co-star and said it was nice to get to know Murphy, whom he described as "a talented guy, you know, and it's great to have a scene partner like that always."

"You People" will be available on Netflix on Jan. 27.
