Beverly Hills Cop is a beloved franchise, and new movie "Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F," banks on every nostalgic reference we love about the original two ‘80s films (despite the threequel misfire). One thing that’s noticeably missing, however, is Murphy’s iconic laugh, and it’s been absent from his work for quite some time. Now we know why, and honestly, the reason is kind of a bummer.

When I brought up the laugh during our interview for "Axel F," Eddie Murphy was very willing to tell me the whole story.
