Chris Rock Claims He Was Set to REPLACE Eddie Murphy as Donkey in SHREK
Chris Rock revealed during a live taping of the ‘Fly on the Wall’ podcast at Netflix Is a Joke Fest that DreamWorks approached him ‘at least twice’ to replace Eddie Murphy as the voice of Donkey in the ‘Shrek’ franchise! Rock claims Murphy kept delaying recording the films — despite having an at-home studio — but ultimately came through, so Rock’s deal never materialized.

Chris Rock glad didn't get the role of Donkey in Shrek he went another voiced zebra Marty In Franchise Of Madagascar 2005-2012
At least Chris Rock starred in another Dreamworks franchise
Chris Rock also turned down the role of Daxter in Jak and Daxter before Max Casella was chosen.
Chris Rock’s voice don t fit on Donkey’s.
We don’t want someone who thinks insulting people is funny in a Disney movie keep dreaming Chris you deserved that slap by the way 🙄
Chris Rock did voice Marty, but voicing Donkey would make Donkey sound different and still funny like how Eddie Murphy did. Good thing he turned it down.
