Mike Myers fully embraced one of his most iconic roles while honoring longtime collaborator Eddie Murphy, turning heads and drawing laughs the moment he appeared onstage in full green Shrek makeup at the AFI Life Achievement Award ceremony on April 18.

The unexpected entrance set the tone for a tribute that balanced humor with genuine admiration. Myers, who voiced the beloved ogre in the Shrek films, used the moment to spotlight Murphy's unforgettable performance as Donkey, a character that has remained a fan favorite for more than two decades.

"Shrek wouldn't be Shrek without Eddie," Myers said during his speech, praising Murphy's ability to bring warmth, energy, and depth to every role he takes on. He described Donkey as more than comic relief, calling the character "a perfect mix of heart, humor, and loyalty" that elevated the entire franchise.

The ceremony, held at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, featured a steady stream of tributes from comedians and actors who have worked alongside Murphy or been influenced by his career. Throughout the night, speakers highlighted his range, from stand-up comedy to blockbuster films, and his enduring impact on entertainment.

In a reassessment of her public legacy, Caitlyn Jenner has admitted that her decision to accept Glamour magazine’s “Woman of the Year” award in 2015 was “hypocritical.” Speaking during a wide-ranging interview with Tomi Lahren on the OutKick podcast, the former Olympic champion linked her regret directly to her current political advocacy against transgender women’s participation in female sports.

The 76-year-old media personality, who became the world’s most visible transgender woman following her 2015 transition, has spent the last several years as a vocal critic of trans-inclusive athletic policies. During the interview, Jenner explained that her evolving stance forced a confrontation with her own past accolades. “I started thinking, ‘What a hypocrite I am,’” Jenner said. “I’m fighting the battle to keep biological men out of women’s sports because it’s not right… and yet I’m a biological man who they gave Glamour’s Woman of the Year award to.”
