When Michael Jackson filmed the 1992 music video for “Remember the Time,” Eddie Murphy quickly became the unofficial mood-lifter on set. With his sharp timing and effortless humor, Murphy kept the atmosphere fun throughout the ambitious Egyptian-inspired shoot, which was directed by John Singleton and packed with elaborate costumes and sets.
At one point during filming, a trained eagle unexpectedly reacted near Murphy, catching him off guard. His genuine, unplanned response instantly cracked up the crew and broke the tension of the moment. Jackson, who was often focused and quiet while working, was seen laughing along with everyone else.
That brief collaboration between a legendary pop star and one of comedy’s biggest names turned into a favorite behind-the-scenes story of the early 1990s. It remains a reminder of how spontaneous moments can become just as memorable as the finished music video itself.
