Peaky Blinders actor Cillian Murphy is on the cover of Rolling Stone UK. Journalists note that his charisma permeates every scene on the screen, and his blue eyes “sometimes flash with gangster malice.” In an interview, he spoke in detail about his attitude to popularity.

You can be walking down the street and someone is taking a picture like it’s a fucking event,” he said.

The actor added that he understands that “this is an integral part” of the life of every famous actor, even though he does not like it. Murphy is currently filming Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer. In the tape, he played the role of the famous creator of nuclear weapons. The director noted that he has one of the brightest faces in modern cinema and television.

I remember very clearly when I saw his picture in the newspaper. He had a shaved head and those extraordinary eyes. I haven’t seen this movie. I was struck only by his appearance. However, live, this striking presence on the screen dissolves into complete routine: physically he is thin, unpretentious, almost insecure. He holds out his hand and introduces himself by name, as if I was going to confuse him with someone else, Nolan told reporters by phone from Los Angeles.

Murphy himself has stated that he is a longtime fan of the director.

I’m a big fan of Chris Nolan. I was crazy when I first met him because I watched The Following, The Flashback and Insomnia. And I met him while working on Batman Begins. So it seems absurd to me that I did six of his films.

At the height of his dizzying fame, Murphy found time to make a cameo appearance in Dunkirk. He played the “trembling soldier” with battle shock. As Murphy notes, he is ready to appear in any role in the director’s works.

I would always play for Chris, even if it was in the background of his next surfboard movie. Although… not sure if it would have been a Nolan film. But I always hoped that I could play the lead role in his film. What actor wouldn’t want to do that?
