It's rare to find an actor that can excel at playing both "good" and "evil" roles but Murphy is one of the select few that can pull it off.
the way his smile faded when she said “erotic” is SENDING ME 💀
MY EXCACT THOUGHT
LITERALLY
I wouldn't be able to even talk to him tbh, he's just so intimidatingly gorgeous.
Saame!
His eyes are SO Blue!
ikr
same here hahaha
Cillian deserves a letter of apology after this interview. Or at least a hug!
4:47 the way Cillians smile f a d e d 🤣
Im screaming
ITS SENDING ME 💀
HAHHAHAHAHAHAUAHHAUAJAJAHAHSH
"Ah! I don't know if that's a compliment or not..." Hahaha.. He didn't seem so thrilled with the suggestion he fit the Fifty Shades of Grey character either. Poor guy. He's probably one of the least shady celebrities there is, and played a creepy role in Batman. And really well! Left an impression. I think he's a really handsome guy with a unique appeal.
selashv1 She may have been joking with him a bit about 50 shades because he and Jamie Dornan are friends
Well well well, look at him now
@@injustice5814 wait what
Oh Cillian, I feel for you. You endured it like the gentleman you are.
Oh Cillian ,stop killing us with your special face features and your chimerical blue eyes. He's not just beautiful but also a great actor.Love his work especially in Sunshine.
He's handsome I love him in the batman movie
SHAYTARDS SHAYTARDS It's sad/funny but I have all of his lines memorized in that movie!!! But ONLY his lines! Not Batman's, Rachel's, but ONLY Dr. Crane/Scarecrow's lines... :)
Right
I met a girl from his city and I asked if there were Cillian's running around and she said NO! He is one in a million.
Class act...STUNNING!!! TALENTED!!!
ut pye haha! At least you asked 🤷🏻♀️ 👍
5:43 he's probably thinking "can I leave now"
At first I kind of admired the interviewer for being a little more bold with her questions but then she started to go on and on about what its like to front a movie that has less-than-stellar reviews and pretty much insulted him with the whole "casting" thing so...thankgod Cillian is such a classy man.
She might be the worst interviewer ever. That was hard to watch. Her questions were ridiculous.
Totally, she was insulting!
First she craps all over his film, then tells him that he might be good fit for a horrid character, and then proceeds to ridicule his appearance. Jeez what a terrible interview. Side note, I'm happy that whoever casts Game of Thrones strayed a bit from the source material and chose Iwan Rheon to play Ramsay. He isn't ugly, but he plays the part well.
I know, who tells an actor that he's the face of the film and the critics are panning it but by the way, how do you feel about that? What a bitch.
Well said. I feel bad for Cillian Murphy for having to digest this.
most interviewers are really bad at their job, they either wanna be your friend and suck up to you or they wanna be little and humiliate you. He seems to always get the ones that are just terrible.
Imagine if they give the role to cillian. He's great but everyone would fall in love with him instead of hate him.
Interviewer: "Okay we're going to play casting director..."
Cillian: okay??
Like he just seems so done with this interview, but being the sweet, humble guy he is he just plays along😂
HES SO FUNNY TO ME
"You might actually make a perfect Christian Grey...."
"Why?"
LMAO!!!!
also he's amazing and gorgeous and everything..... :)
He said " right"
To me Cillian Murphy would’ve been great as Christian Grey, the other actor I was thinking of at the time was Jonathan Rhys Meyers. Once again the script for Fifty Shades was just so “ blah”, it could’ve been so much better !
There would be a lot of actresses falling over themselves to play the love interest against him if he was the actor playing Christian Grey❤
At the beginning he's fine and chill and by the end when she starts talking about wormy lips he's just sat there like... well fucking thanks. I love him so much.
She's disgustingly rude.
Smh it's interviews like this is why he doesn't do interviews
I love Cillian, he is an amazingly talented actor, but has kept his feet firmly on the ground, he seems humble, shy, eloquent and a genuinely nice, grounded man, he's very special and his star will continue to rise...
What a weirdo the interveiwer is.
Cillian didn't take the bait. Pure gentleman with poise.
How can a person be so perfect - these eyes, the mouth, face, voice and the way he behaves and of course his capability to act...just everything. Such an unique human being. His wife must be a very lucky woman. What would I give to interview him. Probably would die before it could even happen. :-D
When she read the description of Ramsay I screamed a bit wtf man that is so rude omg
This interview seemed a bit awkward, I don't know maybe that is just my interpretation. But it sounded as if she was saying the film was bad, and perhaps even slightly insulting his appearance. Would it have killed to say "No, it was a compliment" or just anything? Because I mean, damn, have you seen him? He's bloody flawless.
I’m becoming gradually obsessed with this man ! For someone who doesn’t like interviews he’s actually done quite a lot of them and he’s worked with so many huge Hollywood names! He always looks demure and kinda shy in interviews then next thing you know he is stomping someone’s head in on the set on Peaky Blinders! I love that dichotomy with him that he’s played such an iconic hyper-masculine character and then on the other side he just seems like the sweetest guy ever who just wants to go home and take a nap !
You can see he's so done with this inverview already by just seeing the thumbnail 😂 I love him.
how can someone be so sweet. It is unbeliveble. I cant stop starring at his eyes, there is almost something hypnotic about them.
If he wasn't married, and if he wore a t-shirt saying "Kiss me, I'm Irish!!" I would get the breath spray and literally do it!!! He's beautiful!!!
I wouldn't have time to grab the breath spray! I'd be too excited to see him in that shirt! I'd just grab him and kiss!!!
Jay Mills Sounds good!
Such a brilliant actor and person! I adore him!
OMG was she crushing on him? If she can't handle interviewing celebrities, move along. This was painful!
Stella Apple - if she was, she did a terrible job at it! My gosh, what the heck??
She’s totally drooling over him but also feels insecure
I have a huge crush on him, but if I interviewed him one day I wouldn’t be like that at all!
You know, it really pisses me off that when the name Channing Tatum is mentioned, everybody is like drooling and jumping for joy...but when the name Cillian Murphy, a true artist and amazing actor, is mentioned, people don't even know who the hell he is! Screw society, man. SCREW SOCIETY!
I know & Cillian is such a better actor, just as handsome but in a different way!
Agreed !
Amen
Well that has definitely changed now
Who is Channing Tatum?😅
Aw Cillian is so cute and deals so nicely with her rude questions. I'm sure she wasn't trying to be rude but the questions Def came off that way
5:43 how shy he gets and the lil voice crack omg 🥺🤍
I don't know why she even suggested those roles specially the latter. Quite offensive tbh. :(
He's a great actor, very down to earth too. I will for sure watch this film!
I am a guy, and Cillian Murphy is my favorite actor becuase he adds so much drama and so much...realism to the film. He is a wonderful action hero as well as a villain. He's a great romantic actor and a great detective. He's just the best.
That’s great, I know he is equally respected and admired by both women and men!
"Wormy lips" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 poor Cillian
She says it smiling too 😂
🤣🤣🤣@@ElvisLivesUpstairs
He is so handsome ! Oh my gawd 😻❤
I would die if he played Christian grey. I might even actually watch the movie.
Alex Barnes
I’d watch it for Cillian if dinero wasn’t in it.
@@roseannmiller3877 He should play Edward Grey’s long list son or nephew in Secretary 2 Or even a remake. He enjoyed the movie ( along the lines of Fifty Shades ), also likes Maggie Gyllenhaal who was in it.
.
He would’ve been so good!
😂😂 that's against the LAW to have him play Christian Gray
His eyes make him appear so angelic, yet so wickedly dangerous at the same time.
He was so diplomatic considering how awkward the last "casting" questions were.
He is an excellent actor! I love him!
Or since she mentioned 50 shades, “ there’s a lack of discipline in this interview”, actually that was a line from Tommy in PB, but he says in this company not interview!
What a rude interview! I cannot believe some of the questions she asked and things she said!
He's so beautiful I'm crying
His voice is one of the sexiest I've ever heard.
Ooooo that voice and face and of course the great acting 💕
i think he’s super well spoken- i’m not really happy with how the interviewer came off though. she wasn’t intentionally rude but she seemed kind of rushed and kind of like shat all over him if you will. the game of thrones thing wasn’t necessary… i want to give him a hug
he does NOT have wormy lips and pale eyes, he has full lips and mesmerizing eyes.
What does wormy lips mean
@@Abby3678xxi think like thin uneven chapped lips
@@sophiad-bs4vo his lips are huge tho
@@sophiad-bs4vo and so hottt
4:43 For a second I forgot that this was made in 2012, and it’s crazy considering he ends up working with Jamie (actor of Mr.Grey)
This is why the man doesn’t like doing interviews...CRINGE CRINGE CRINGE. Americans don’t get what a legend this guy is. During the premier of his movie Dunkirk, I saw an interviewer from MTV ask him about what he thinks of Harry Styles’ (who was also in the movie) short hair! I couldn’t deal. Of all the questions to ask this brilliant actor who has been in The Dark Knight trilogy, inception, sunshine, red eye, breakfast on Pluto and Peaky Fookin blinders, THAT is what you ask him!! Can’t deal! It’s like having a chance to interview Leonardo Da Vinci and asking him what he thinks of Billie Eilishes hair color...🤦🏻♀️
Literally the rudest interviewer ever - the dumb questions and almost insulting comments! Cillian sat through and took it like the gentleman he is!
This man is riveting. So measured, so centred and brings that to his acting. Concentrates on 'being' rather than hurrying towards the next move. Red Lights had me in tears. Don't get all the criticism. As for Misterman - Cilly showed his world class talent to all the London luvvies. I was proud! And he's only 36. He said he wouldn't do trash. 50 shades? Serious, serious, serious? Does he want that kind of global heart throb fame?
I love how he steers away from nonsense banter
Yes! The tv show character in the peaky blinders is flawless but I am not so amazed since it is a script. He delivers it perfectly, but it is not him, it's the script. What amazed me are his interviews. The way he speaks, his levelheaded talking, and no nonsence, so genuine and yet so well spoken. He means every word he says. Just amazed.
Bc its dumb and the questions are borderline crazy 😂
Cillian es hermoso y un actor exelente...pone mucha seriedad en su trabajo..❤
Ah come on, that's true that this interview is not great but I've seen far worse and at least here Mr Murphy deals with it like a boss.
He is adorable! i want to bite his lips!!! Pretty boy
YUPPPPPPP
I just watched Redlights...amazing film...the critics were mistaken. Gripping and Mr. Murphy was outstanding. Barbara Chai was way off, she could not have seen this film!
oh my god...that smile, that eyes! that lips....
It is 12 years ago since this interview was done. It is a good one. What I like the most is how Cillian explains his job, like if it was 'a chain production Factory'. His job it is 'just a piece' of the final item that it is going to be launched to the consumer.. I like how humble he is, taking into account the show business sector he is involved and all the egos that characterized the people of that sector. Only good rational persons are like this. It reminds me to Javier Bardem replies Who is also in the movies business and has experienced all the craziness that fandom might cause in a single person..Too much down to Earth,.do you say that?👍
Underrated movie
One of Cillian and De Niro’s most underrated performanxes
He is amazing! So unique! He should be in Game of Thrones!!
Fuck Game of Thrones!!!!! He should have been Romeo in Romeo and Juliet instead of Douglas Booth!
If he was Christian Grey, I'd totally watch that POS movie...too bad he wasn't. Also this was an unbelievably crude interviewer.
Marie R eh, no. I mean I get he's attractive and all But EW
i like chickens? I kind of agree; I loved Jamie as Christian soooo much! I can’t see anyone else doing that role!
i know...he'd have killed it, but it was too silly a role for him.
M White he was who I had in mind for Christian Grey, but yea it would have probably did harm to his resume than help it. Then again, he’s good in every movie he’s in, and I like all his films.
Me too, I have to admit he’d be perfect in an S&M movie. Put Tommy Shelby & Jack Ripner together. TS in one back in the 1920’s & Jack Ripner type character in 21st century. I have a feeling he will play a character like that 2 or 3 in the future!
I love seeing handsome men look uncomfortable
me too☺
Hohohohoho
Like me? 🤔
love the fact that there seems to me no bullshit ever when he does interviews and he still has his cork accent.
the thumbnail almost gave me heart attack. this beauty I can't possibly take
The interviewer was so cringe, I love cillian so much😭😭😭
She answers her own questions before he gives him a chance to give his own answer.
irish accent suits him better, it reflects his nobility.. but it's sweet how it jumps every now and then when he's trying to speak with american accent :) My mind was blown when I realised that he really would be the perfect Grey, I never have thought of that before..but I also agree that he is too good for that part.
-"Will you be in The Dark Knight Rises?"
-"Come on...it's gonna be out in a few weeks!" hahah
his face literally falls when she says 'erotic'
lisbeth salander I just seen that 😂😂 poor guy...
I haven't read the book, but I think that being such a fine actor he could improve any character and add value to any film he is in
Cilian is totally underrated. Love him to pieces, and I'd gladly take him anyday over Ryan Gosling, whom the majority of girls seem to be obsessed with nowadays.
I don’t get the Gosling thing either
more like teenage boys
I watched the last batman for 3mins of cillian... that alone was worth my $6
MsRainbow Brite
Can’t watch. Love Cillian but hate Dinero who disgusts me.
death by exile....
@@roseannmiller3877 I agree I’m sick of Robert DeNiro, dude’s over rated. He I may been a good actor at one time but not anymore! He’s the same in everything he’s in .
she can't hide it she likes him lol
lol do you blame her anyone who says "no i dont see him in that way" is lieing hes beautiful brilliant actor great personality so its hard to say you dont like him :P x
It always makes me feel awkward when interviewers ask bad questions...
Red Lights sounds like a good movie. :) Love Cillian's accent! :D
It is! :-D
His accent is just music to my ears
I loved Red Lights I thought it was a great movie!
Cillian Murphy I am truly your biggest fan You are always the best I love you so much I wish you success always♥️♥️
us irish just have great accents!!
Omgggggg he is a gem, and she is so blatantly rude. I cry.
So funny that she suggested Cillian as the Christian Grey charcter when Cillian's cast mate buddy from Athropoid - Jamie Dornan plays the character instead!
Mocha126 Yeah, I caught that too. She had to be joking with him, right?
True
I know I was thinking about this interview when I saw Jamie and him interviewed for Anthro!
why did she think that GoT question was a good idea jesus christ ahaha that's a description of a gross, ugly character and Cillian is like a beautiful angel from heaven like ????
Yes! Such ethereal beauty. I always said he looks more Elvish or angelic than human. Can't look away from that face. That young woman needs to be placed in a job behind the scenes. She seemed oblivious to her own rudeness.
I love that she's constantly sidestepping the point that: she hated the movie
Can't take my eyes off of his eyes
The beginning questions were fine but then it just got out of control yikes
Cillian doesn't need to be christian grey..he's perfect in every character he portrayed and will portray
I'm not going to see 'Fifty Shades', not because he's not in it (which is terrible, he's just so lovely), but because the movie itself just looks like some Twilight AU wish-fulfillment. That being said, I would be the first in line if he was in it *coughs*.
Believe it or not, it started off as a twilight fanfic, so you're spot on
4:49 BEST EXPRESSION EVER
Oh my. I just love him. I can look a his face forever. What a gorgeous man.
That`s so true! They are scaringly big and extremly bright. Never saw that in another person except Benno Fürmann.
Superduberful Betty Davis eyes
I wish he said "Would you like to see my mask?"
You're right, and Cillian is an actor with a lot of strenght and he has a thing for tormented characters. It would be interesting i guess, but is scary too, i can't imagine that book becoming a decent screenplay xD But i agree, with the right role he'll be definetly bigger and better than Brad Pitt.
I can see why he doesn’t want to do interviews
Great actor !
He’s so down to earth love him
Oh my god i am innso much lobe with this man. I love everything about h
This is the first time I've heard his real voice, sounds so different from how he sounded as Jonathan Crane.
His voice.. his eyes.. him! 😍👌🏽🙌🏽
Peaky Blinders is the only project I have seen in him. I have watched several of his tv interviews.
Cillian Murphy is just awesome!
He's really good. He needs some awards NOW
I hope they do cast him for that, it would be amazing for an amazing actor! he doesn't have wormy lips he is beyond beautiful, I love you Cillian!!!
I don't think Cillian is underrated, every publication sings his praises as well as directors, actors and anyone who see's his movies. He just makes a conscious decision to not want his private life out there or for people to talk about him aside from his work. Know who's underrated? The majority of black actors and actresses.
Prophets Of Rock TV black actors AND Cillian can both be underrated , which they both are.
His blue eyes😍😍😍😍
