The worst career advice Eddie Murphy ever got came from Rodney Dangerfield. (via CNBCMakeIt)
However, what Dangerfield definitely got wrong was the idea that Murphy's profanity and edgy material would hinder his path to success. In fact, Murphy soon rocketed to stardom as a cast-member of "Saturday Night Live" .
Murphy's stand-up specials were also extremely popular, with "Raw" raking in more than $50 million at the box office in 1987, making it thestand-up comedy concert film ever. Murphy also went on to become one of the biggest box office draws of the 1980s, with blockbuster comedies such as the "Beverly Hills Cop" movie franchise .
So, while Murphy admits he was initially "crestfallen" by Dangerfield's criticism of his comedy act, the negative critique obviously did nothing to alter Murphy's career trajectory. And when Murphy again crossed paths with Dangerfield years later — in a bathroom at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas — the older comedian seemed to admit he'd misjudged Murphy's potential for stardom.
"Rodney Dangerfield comes to the urinal right next to me and I look over and he looks at me, and says, 'Hey, who knew?'" Murphy told W Magazine.
