After revealing he prefers preparation over intellect in acting, Cillian Murphy then playfully mocked himself stating his answer was pretentious.
Irish film and theatre actor Cillian Murphy is regarded as a solicitous actor—who’s attentive and respectful towards his job.
Be it Robert Oppenheimer in Christopher Nolan’s biopic or the enigmatic Thomas Shelby in the hit TV series Peaky Blinders, Murphy’s portrayals say it all.
