“You just made him terribly self conscious of himself”: Reporter Ruined ‘Oppenheimer’ Star Cillian Murphy’s Life Who Was Alien to Social Media With One Question

Cillian Murphy is one of the most gifted performers to ever work in show business. Many others similar to him have come and gone, but few have had the kind of influence he did on the industry and his fellow performers. In addition to his outstanding acting abilities, Murphy has demonstrated his versatility on the set of every film or television production.

The role of Thomas Shelby, the main character in the Peaky Blinder TV series, is Cillian Murphy’s finest achievement. This TV series helped the Dunkirk actor become very well-known and respected, and he was named one of the finest Irish cinema actors ever. But despite such fame and recognition, the actor was not accustomed to the social media world.

Movies like The Dark Knight Trilogy, Inception, Dunkirk, and Oppenheimer are among his best works.

He demonstrated his ability to execute and deliver world-class parts regardless of the background with these amazing films. One of the projects where his performance especially stood out was Peaky Blinders. But Cillian Murphy has shockingly revealed that he has very low to no contact with the internet or social media and is also not aware of what memes are.

Reporter: “Are you aware of the disappointed Cillian Murphy meme on the internet?”

Murphy: “The what?”

Reporter: “The disappointed Cillian Muphy meme.”

Murphy: “What’s a meme?”

Reporter: “So in junkets, your fans on the internet are saying that when you’re not speaking sometimes you look like you’re disappointed in someone a long way away. What do you think of that?”

Murphy: “I’m glad I know what a meme is. These days can be a little long sometimes, y’know?”

Timothy Spall: “You just made him terribly self-conscious of himself at a moment obviously, when he’s completely un-self-conscious. You’ve ruined his life.”

During an interview with NME, while promoting the movie, The Party, the reporter asked Cillian Murphy if he was informed about his meme to which the actor replied with what a meme was. Although the reporter gave a brief description of a meme, he found it a bit funny that his fans and followers have been putting good use to his content.

However, the renowned director recently gave the actor the chance to portray the title role of the notorious physicist in his summer movie, Oppenheimer. He gave a stunning performance throughout the movie and it was a breathtaking experience for all his fans and followers.
