Eddie Murphy is spilling tea straight from “the greatest actor of all time.” During an appearance on the New York Times podcast The Interview, the comedian shared a conversation he had with the late Marlon Brando. The Godfather actor invited Murphy to his house for dinner back in 1982 and went on and on about one particular actor he was no fan of. “I can’t stand that kid with the gun,” he told Murphy.

The kid in question? None other than The Good, the Bad and the Ugly’s Clint Eastwood. The Beverly Hills Cop actor didn’t divulge why Brando was so anti-Eastwood, though, as he was simply honored to be spending time with “famous people that (he) grew up watching on television.” 

Speaking of beef, The Bear’s Abby Elliott knows how many of you feel about the show being “miscategorized” as a comedy and doesn’t agree one bit. While pundits and fans constantly campaign for the 30-minute show to be considered a drama during awards seasons, the former Saturday Night Live cast member told the New York Times that FX’s hit show is “just like real life.” She went on to explain that “a lot of people find comedy in the darkness and the stress.” Considering how dark and stressful the show is this season in particular, by Elliott’s logic that also makes it really, really funny.
