Noah Wyle says Eddie Murphy told him to “fuck off” when he asked for an autograph at 9. “I met Eddie Murphy once when I was a kid. I asked him for his autograph, and I said, ‘I really like you on SNL.’ He goes, ‘What are you doing up that late?’ And I said, ‘Can I have your autograph?’ He goes, ‘Fuck off, man.’” “I was 9. Now I always sign an autograph whenever a 9-year-old needs one. I sign that so fast.” Years later, his daughter turned the story into a birthday gift. “I’ve told this story in my house, and last year for my birthday, my 10-year-old daughter didn’t know what to get me. So she printed up a picture of Eddie Murphy and wrote, ‘Dear Noah, you’re a great kid, Eddie Murphy.’ She spelled Eddie E-d-d-y, and I have it framed in my office.” “She came up with the story. She’s like, ‘Dad, you’re never gonna believe who I saw yesterday. Eddie Murphy. And we got what you’ve always wanted, his autograph.’ Then they gave me the gifts. She’s a doll. She’s the best.”
