In case you weren’t already aware, Eddie Murphy has 10 children between the ages of one and 30.

When asked how he feels about having such a large brood by Ellen DeGeneres on her talk show this week, Murphy joked, “Does it seem like a lot to you? Or does it seem okay? No, it seems okay.“

“It’s funny the reaction that the audience gives,” he said. “Men kind of look at me like, ‘He’s crazy! How much did that shit cost?’”

As for the way women react upon hearing the news, Murphy said, in his personal opinion, “It’s kind of like, there’s something sexy about it, I think. ‘Eddie Murphy must be doing his thing. Eddie Murphy be getting it in! He don’t be bullshittin’!'”

Murphy’s many offspring include son Eric, with ex-girlfriend Paulette McNeely; Christian with ex-girlfriend Tamara Hood; Bria, Myles, Shayne, Zola, Bella with ex-wife Nicole Mitchell; Angel with ex-girlfriend Melanie Brown (whom he engaged in a lengthy paternity battle over, denying he was the father); Izzy and Max with current fiancée Paige Butcher. He also has one grandchild.

What in the whole wide world could possibly be sexier?
