Martin Lawrence Originally Wanted Eddie Murphy To Be His Co Star For Bad Boys, Not Will Smith

Wouldn't worked with Bay as the director.

Bad Boys needed an actor like Will to compliment Bay's style and he did it PERFECTLY.

Eddie aint making this



look believable like how Will did

This was like when they said Kool Moe Dee could’ve been Nino Brown, or Cube being O Dog. I’m glad it worked out the way it did.

Still wish AI would have been Jesus shuttlesworth even though Rays performance has grown on me over the years

It was for the better but I coulda swore I saw something once saying Val Kilmer and someone else I cant remember were the original picks. So this after the fact??? Eddie got his "Bad Boys" movie later.

According to Will it was supposed to be Dana Carvey and Jon Lovitz
