At times, it is so difficult to remember that Eddie Murphy has been in the industry for so long (36 years to be precise), because he continues to look fairly young. Having an extensive filmography like he has had, the actor certainly has created a legacy.

At the recently held Toronto Film Festival, Murphy went on to reunite with his little co-star from the film, The Golden Child. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Murphy was at the festival promoting his upcoming movie Dolemite Is My Name, stopped by The Hollywood Reporter Studio at the St Regis Hotel, where he caught up with THR executive director of events Jasmin L. Reate and posed for a photo with her. Reate played the titular role in the film. (Yes, the "boy" in the movie was, in fact, played by a female.)

"He was just as kind as I remembered him when I was 6," Reate says of the reunion with her former co-star.

The film centered on a private detective named Chandler Jarrell, who specializes in missing children and is charged with saving "The Golden Child," whom he's told will save humankind.

The cast also included Charles Dance, who went on to land a number of film and TV roles, most notably playing Tywin Lannister in HBO's Game of Thrones.

Meanwhile, Dolemite stars Murphy as real-life comedian Rudy Ray Moore, who gained fame in midlife with his 1970s Blaxploitation character Dolemite. Craig Brewer (Hustle & Flow) directed the film, which co-stars Keegan-Michael Key, Mike Epps, Craig Robinson, Tituss Burgess, Snoop Dogg, Ron Cephas Jones and Wesley Snipes, among others.
