Since he started working as an actor, there was something about Murphy that caught the viewers' attention: his laughter. It has become so characteristic that many have noticed how it has been fading recently.

This has actually been a decision made by the actor himself, as he revealed in an interview, because he believed that "it was getting too much importance."

"In the 80s, I thought I didn't want to be known for being funny. But I realized that some people were imitating me and that if it happened, all they did was laugh," he said, emphasizing that he doesn't like the imitations of him and that is not how he is portrayed.

These imitations led him to change his way of laughing. "I forced myself to stop laughing, which is really unnatural," said the actor, who also stated that he no longer laughs like that.
