The actor jokingly mentioned receiving the images and wondered if they might have been produced by artificial intelligence when asked if he knew about Glasnow. He said:

“Yes, I’ve been sent that. You’re the first person to say, but wasn’t that like an AI-generated image or something? Many people have sent it. I need to turn off more notifications.”

Nevertheless, he was complimentary of Glasnow's exceptional baseball abilities and praised his talent as a pitcher.

Fans are captivated by the similarities between the two people but are aware that they come from different walks of life, with Murphy dominating the acting world and Glasnow blazing a trail as a baseball superstar.
