If you were wondering whether Eddie Murphy was a nappies man, the answer is no.

The 55-year-old actor might have had nine children over the years but it seems he still has not got to grips with them.

Murphy and his partner Paige Butcher’s daughter Izzy was born in May of 2016.

“I don't change diapers,” Murphy told Extra in an interview. “I would be horrible at it and that's not fair to the child.”

The actor said his daughter was doing well and was now a good sleeper. “She’s doing wonderfully, she started sleeping through the night.”

Murphy explained his other children get on well with the family’s latest addition.

“Everybody's really cool with each other and it's all love all the way around everybody gets along that's a good thing.”
