Bacon’s latest project is Beverly Hills Cop: Axel Fwhere he stars alongside Eddy Murphy and Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Bacon and Levitt recently shared their thoughts on working with Murphy, describing the actor as “more laid back” and “relaxed” than expected.

Bacon praised Murphy for not overdoing his acting, which many actors do. “You try to push it, you try to play it, you try to sell it, you try to deliver it, and that’s not how he works,” he said. “(Murphy would) rather do nothing than be seen actually pushing something. So it affects me in some ways when I’m in a scene with him. I have to be present and not be after the outcome. I have to listen and throw the ball back and forth.”

Sirens currently has no release date. Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F is streaming on Netflix.
