Most recently he played the inventor of the atomic bomb in the blockbuster “Oppenheimer: Irish-born Cilian Murphy explains what he longs for, especially when making dark films.
Hollywood actor Cillian Murphy said he was grateful for his colleague Emily Blunt while filming “Oppenheimer.” The British-born woman, who plays Oppenheimer’s wife in the Christopher Nolan thriller, is “one of the funniest people,” the 47-year-old Irishman told the US newspaper Los Angeles Times. “And I have a rule that if things aren’t easy on set, I can’t work.”
Murphy, who is nominated for a Golden Globe for his portrayal of the inventor of the atomic bomb, explained that many of his films are “pretty intense” and take him “to dark, challenging places,” which is why he craves relaxation during his breaks from filming. “I need to feel comfortable. I can’t be in this dark place all the time. I don’t have the stamina for that.”
