Back in 1996, Eddie Murphy put his acting career to the test with The Nutty Professor, the remake of the 1963 film of the same name follows the story of Sherman Klumb, a kind-hearted academic lecturer who is excessively obese. Wanting to win the affection of his dream girl, he develops miraculous medicine for weight loss. In this film though, the actor portrays not one, but seven characters, including his maternal grandmother and both of his parents.
