Chris Rock Claims He Was Set to REPLACE Eddie Murphy as Donkey in SHREK

Chris Rock revealed during a live taping of the 'Fly on the Wall' podcast at Netflix Is a Joke Fest that DreamWorks approached him 'at least twice' to replace Eddie Murphy as the voice of Donkey in the 'Shrek' franchise! Rock claims Murphy kept delaying recording the films — despite having an at-home studio — but ultimately came through, so Rock's deal never materialized.
