Comedic royalty graced the red carpet this weekend at the world premiere of their movie ‘The Pickup’. Keke Palmer, Pete Davidson, and Eddie Murphy were in attendance at the Regal LA Live on July 27. Joining the red carpet with them were Murphy’s wife Paige Butcher and Davidson’s beloved Elsie Hewitt. This marked Davidson and Hewitt’s first appearance after the announcement of their pregnancy. Other attendees were Skai Jackson, Vivica Fox, Sugar Ray Leonard, Algee Smith along with singers Paul Russell and BJ the Chicago Kid.
‘The Pickup’ is sort of a new age buddy comedy following two armored truck drivers Russell played by Murphy and Travis played by Davidson. During a cash pickup, they are ambushed by thieves led by criminal mastermind Zoe played by Keke Palmer. The movie also stars Joe “Roman Reigns” Anoa’i, Eva Longoria, Marshawn Lynch, Ismael Cruz Cordova, and Andrew Dice Clay. They however weren’t in attendance.
‘The Pickup’ premieres on August 6th on Prime Video. Follow Famease Media for more updates.
