Eddie Murphyhasn’t moved on from his noble steed quite yet!
The comedy icon, 61, revealed in a new interview withEtalkthat he’d reprise his role as Donkey in theShrekfranchise if the opportunity presented itself.
“I’d absolutely be open if they ever came with anotherShrek, I’d do it in two seconds. I love Donkey,” Murphy told Etalk.
“You know, they did Puss in Boots movies,” Murphy said. “I was like, ‘They should have done a Donkey movie. Donkey is funnier than Puss in Boots.’ I mean, I love Puss in Boots, but he ain’t funny as the Donkey.”
Pushing for his hilarious, furry character to get a solo outing, Murphy added that he would definitely be up for voicing a Donkey movie.

“Dreamworks, if you all want to do it, just call me,” he said. “I’m ready. I’m sitting and ready to do Donkey.”
