One day before The Nutty Professor star confirmed his son Eric Murphy and Martin's daughter Jasmin Lawrence tied the knot, the Bad Boys alum had nothing but positive things to say about his son-in-law. 'He's a great young man,' Martin told Jennifer Hudson of Eric on the May 28 episode of her daytime talk show, cheekily noting that a wedding 'might be a good idea.' Indeed, while Martin did not go so far to confirm his daughter's nuptials, he did allude to just how involved he and Eddie had been in their romance. 'I think we are both protective,' he explained. 'We want the best for our children. We let them do their own thing and make their choices and stay out of their business and let them find their way.' A day later, Eddie shared that their kids' latest choice involved eloping rather than hosting a big wedding following their 2024 engagement. More from E!

Naturally, the Coming to America star also took the opportunity to playfully jab Martin—who is also dad to 24-year-old Iyanna and 22-year-old Amara. As Eddie noted, the Martin alum doesn't have to 'pay for a wedding now.' As for the happy couple, it comes as no surprise they were eager to make their romance official. 'God truly blessed us with a love that feels like destiny,' Jasmin gushed in their engagement announcement on Instagram last November. 'We couldn't be more excited for this next chapter. Special thank you to everyone who made this moment so beautiful!!' Eric, for his part, has previously noted that his life would be 'incomplete' without his now-wife. 'The moments we spend together make time stand still,' he wrote in a birthday tribute to Jasmin in 2023. 'You make me a better man in every way. Thank you for being such an inspiration in my life. Thank you for being the LOVE of my life!'

Will Ferrell Makes Dirty 'Elf' Jokes and Rocks His Daisy Dukes in 'Scared Straight' Prison Skit at 'SNL' 50th Anniversary
Will Ferrell's physical comedy still gets all the laughs on Saturday Night Live. Ferrell joined an already star-studded cast of characters in the 'Scared Straight' sketch on SNL50: The Anniversary Special. The sketch begins with Jason Sudeikis as a cop, addressing Marcello Hernández, Mikey Day and Michael Longfellow, three teens busted for shoplifting. Sudeikis brings in two prisoners to help the teens understand the magnitude of what they've done: Kenan Thompson and Eddie Murphy. Thompson and Murphy inundate the three with stories from prison, but the teens quickly realize the stories are lifted from Harry Potter and The Nutty Professor. Murphy's nod to his comedy hit isn't the only self-referential moment in the sketch, however. The pair are quickly joined by Ferrell's Daisy Duke-wearing character, complete with mullet.

"I'm in an improv group. I'm scrapbooking like crazy. Outside, I never used to get laid. Now I'm having sex 50, 60 times a day," he says. Sharing his own story, Big Red adds, "I was abandoned as a baby by my human parents, so I was forced to grow up at the North Pole ... You know what, I'm gonna skip ahead. It's Elf. I'm talking about Elf." The jokes about his family-friendly holiday film quickly take a NSFW turn. Even Ferrell himself fumbled over the racy lines, which elicited so much laughter that both Thompson and Murphy struggled to hold back their smiles. When Hernández pushes back, the men crowd around him as Big Red says, "In prison, you're not going to be an elf named Buddy. You're gonna get Elf'd, right in your butt-y." "And forget about your North Pole, what you're going to have to worry about is your South Pole," Murphy's character adds. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter in 2021, Ferrell discussed his decision not to do a sequel to his holiday smash hit film. Elf was a box office hit grossing $223 million worldwide and becoming an instant Christmas classic. According to THR, he would have been paid $29 million for taking part in the sequel. Ferrell said he turned down the sequel due to it having too similar a premise to the original movie. "I would have had to promote the movie from an honest place, which would've been, like, 'Oh no, it's not good. I just couldn't turn down that much money,' " Ferrell told THR. "And I thought, 'Can I actually say those words? I don't think I can, so I guess I can't do the movie.' " SNL50: The Anniversary Special airs Sunday, Feb. 16, at 8 p.m. ET on NBC and Peacock.
