At the AFI Life Achievement Award ceremony, Mike Myers brought the house down with an unexpected surprise: he arrived dressed as Shrek! The comedic icon stepped onto the stage in full ogre glam, including a green face and floppy ears, to pay tribute to his friend Eddie Murphy, who was being honored for his outstanding contributions to entertainment.

The audience erupted with laughter as Myers showered Murphy with praise, calling him“lovable, hilarious, joyous, vulnerable, and loyal”while reminding everyone why he’s one of the greatest in comedy. As if that weren’t enough, Murphy later took the mic and showcased his own legendary humor, proving he hadn’t lost his touch over the years. With a room full of comedy royalty, including Dave Chappelle and Chris Rock, it was undoubtedly a night to remember.

Who would have thought that an ogre could steal the spotlight on such a momentous occasion? Myers and Murphy’s playful moment was a delightful reminder of their enduring friendship and the magic they created together in the Shrek franchise. Let’s face it: some friendships are just like fine wine—they get better with age!
