Mike Myers returned to his swamp-dwelling roots on Saturday, slipping back into his role as a green ogre to celebrate his Shrek co-star Eddie Murphy.

Myers, 62, made an unexpected entrance at the American Film Institute Life Achievement Award ceremony—face painted green, trumpet-shaped ears in place—as he transformed into Shrek, the ogre he voices in the DreamWorks Animation franchise.

Transformed into Shrek, Mike Myers praised Eddie Murphy, who received the AFI’s life achievement award at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, as “one of the greatest.” / Daniel Cole/REUTERShttps://thedailybeast-thedailybeast-prod.web.arc-cdn.net/resizer/v2/7GN23ZAIEBHHROFX5DJVP3N3GE.JPG?auth=ab2fbf19df0802c27a83218f497c722e8abe8c8285905a1e3455b1a76da9f5c3&smart=true&width=2371&height=3557" width="2371" />
