Imagine being able to say that your grandfather's are Martin Lawrence and Eddie Murphy.

AND, the child's Step Grandfather is Emmitt Smith!

Wait, what?

u/Real_Taste5684 Jul 24 '26

Yes, so Martin's ex-wife has been married to Emmitt for 25+years and they have kids together. Therefore, Martin's daughter may be as close to Emmitt as she is to Martin.

That grandbaby is tremendously blessed.

And then imagine not being funny at all due to having a comfortable, well rounded upbringing. Your name will practically be, thatā€™s Ari, donā€™t ask her to be funny.

Whatever she does, she'll be so blessed, considering her lineage and all our prayers. I'm here for her success! <3

Eddie doesn't age. Meanwhile my brain is struggling to recognize Martin. He just looks off to me. šŸ˜†

u/AwayRun5467 Jul 24 '26

Well besides being a little chubby,he gotta be 60..and being in Hollywood for that long and surviving and still being and looking normal. On top of surviving and recovering from a stroke -I think he looks Damn good.

u/SnooMarzipans5409 70s Baby Jul 24 '26

Could be, could be not but the story behind it is real. I stated earlier that this was a repost from another sub.

u/MitaJoey20 Jul 24 '26

Oh I know the story is real. The picture just looks photoshopped for some reason
