interpreter of lewis straussformer United States Secretary of Commerce, Oppenheimer, downey jr. commented to Peoplein an interview with Florence Pugh (Jean Tatlock), as “never witnessed a greater sacrifice” from an actor than from murphy.
“I’ve never seen a greater sacrifice from a lead actor in my career,” said the star. “He knew it would be a huge challenge when Chris [Nolan] called him. But I think he also had the humility to survive playing a role like that.”
We’d be like, ‘Hey, we’ve got a three-day weekend. Maybe we can buy antiques in Santa Fe. What will you do?’ murphy I would say, ‘Oh, I need to learn 30,000 words of Dutch. Have a good time.’ But that is the nature of the challenge.
Right away, pugh took the opportunity to also talk about the work of Oppenheimer’s main actor: “Chris had one of the most incredible protagonists in Cillian,” he said.
“He’s an actor I’ve been watching for a while and I’ve been desperate to work with him for a long time. You’d have to be crazy to say no. It really was one of the best experiences I’ve had,” she continued.
Working with him was extremely impressive. Every day he shows up knowing in every possible way, intonation, inflection of how to bring this character to life. That was extremely impressive to me. There’s a reason he’s one of the greatest.
