Eddie Murphy talks to BBC Radio 1's film critic Ali Plumb about Coming 2 America, available now on Amazon Prime Video. He tells us how the original Coming To America from 1988 became a cult classic that people still love today. Plus, he reveals the hard work behind the makeup needed to play so many different characters in movies like this and The Nutty Professor, and how it compares to his Oscar nominated performance in Dreamgirls. And we hear how the Kingdom of Zamunda was created in Rick Ross's back yard, and what fans shout at Eddie in the street.
