During a Burberry fashion show in September 2025, Tom Blyth was asked which British icon he would like to see at the luxury brand. His answer was Cillian Murphywhich is actually Irish. Embarrassed, Blyth now gave an interview to TheStandard to apologize for the confusion.

“I have every respect for the Irish and I love Cillian Murphy. I was so embarrassed — I was so affected by jet lag that I didn’t hear the question properly and I just answered,” he said. “I was really exhausted and I wasn’t listening properly. I learned my lesson. Next time, listening critically is important.”

Murphy was born in Cork, Ireland, and moved to England at age 25 to follow his wife, the artist Yvonne McGuinnessduring college. He spent 14 years in London but returned to Ireland in 2015. Blyth was told he could visit the actor’s hometown after the apology. “We’ll see — maybe a little more time,” he joked.

Blyth was born in Birmingham and grew up in Woodthorpe, a suburb of Nottingham, England. He was best known for the role of Coriolanus Snow in The Ballad of Birds and Serpentsprequel to Hunger Games which hits theaters in 2023.

Murphyin turn, won the Oscar of Best Actor with Oppenheimer (2023) and gained prominence when playing Tommy Shelby in the television series Peaky Blinders. Soon, he will return to the big screen with The Immortal Mana work that will continue the story of the series.

Recently, he told NME that his favorite album of all time is British: he’s talking about Abbey Roadof the Beatles. “When I was really little… we used to go to the town library and rent cassette tapes, and I remember renting ‘Abbey Road,’” he says. “Then I ended up living near Abbey Road. How bizarre.”
