For movie lovers and fans of the iconic Beverly Hills Cop series, there's a new reason to celebrate. Eddie Murphy has made a triumphant return as the roguish Detroit cop Axel Foley in “Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F,” after a 30-year hiatus. This latest installment has hit Netflix, and it's got everyone talking about Axel's age and his evolution as a character.

Axel Foley's Age in the Latest Sequel

So, how old is Axel Foley in this new chapter? According to the Beverly Hills Cop Wiki, Axel was born on August 25, 1957. This detail places him at 66 years old in the latest movie, Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F. Some sources suggest he might have been born in 1959, but for consistency, we'll go with the wikia's information. This makes Axel a couple of years older than Eddie Murphy himself, who was born on April 3, 1961. Despite the years, Murphy effortlessly slips back into the role, bringing the same charm and motormouth energy that defined Axel Foley four decades ago.

Axel Foley's Journey Through the Trilogy

Reflecting on Axel's journey, he was 27 years old in the original Beverly Hills Cop movie, released in 1984. This youthful, hotshot attitude was perfectly aligned with his reckless behavior, much to the frustration of his superiors. Fast forward to 1987's Beverly Hills Cop II, and Axel was 30 years old, still causing trouble and breaking rules. By the time Beverly Hills Cop III came out in 1994, Axel was 37, continuing his streak of infuriating both his bosses in Detroit and his friends in Beverly Hills.
