Emily Blunt on Cillian Murphy: 'He's the worst celebrity in the world'

Actor Emily Blunt says Cillian Murphy is "my favorite actor I've ever worked with," calling him "the best actor in the world."

"60 Minutes" is the most successful television broadcast in history. Offering hard-hitting investigative reports, interviews, feature segments and profiles of people in the news, the broadcast began in 1968 and is still a hit, over 50 seasons later, regularly making Nielsen's Top 10.

"He is the worst celebrity in the world" thank god for that.... He should be an example..

What I love about Cillian Murphy is he is not arrogant like a lot of celebrities in Hollywood are. He has no ego, he is a quiet man and is incredibly humble and kind.

Not able to handle a compliment….or as we call it, being Irish

Thomas Shelby acts like he’s Cillian Murphy playing Oppenheimer.

I've always felt that an actor who can turn it on and off is far more impressive than a "method" actor, who stays in character the whole time.

[macjuiceplussharesmiller]

Truly the best compliments you could give someone, not just as an "actor."

Love Cillian. But what a lovely friend he has in Emily, she’s clearly more comfortable in front of the camera for interviews than he is, and (I think at least!) being genuine with her comments. Great friendship there I gather. Lovely to see, they’ve always worked so well and naturally with one another, both great at their craft.

At first, I thought that Emily Blunt was talking negatively about Cillian Murphy. Now, I understand that she was complementing how extraordinary he is and that it's a shame that he doesn't see that in himself. Cillian truly is a legend.

[Xxxxxrrr]

This was actually Cillian acting as Emily Blunt, great job

We need more actors like Cillian Murphy or Daniel Day Lewis. Actors who stay away from the spotlights.

60 minutes certainly knows when to release these clips 😂. Great timing 👍

[tomhighsmith]

You could see it years ago in the film "Breakfast on Pluto" that he would one day win an Oscar. Beautiful words from Emily.

Love her saying "he turns it on and off, he's that good." I remember Christian Bale when asked about staying in character, as if it's some pretentious thing to do, humbly saying "I'm just not good enough an actor to be able to do it a different way." If Cillian can, that's really impressive.

He, being a relatively minor star compared to his counterparts, came in to one of the most star-studded casts in history…. And was flawless. THAT is why he is getting the praise he is by his fellow cast mates. And deservedly so. He was remarkable.

Emily Blunt is so misplaced in 60 Minutes, haha. She's such a ray of sunshine, sarcastic, witty, full of life and energy and they're always going for this strangely self-serious quiet tone like they're doctors rather than interviewers. Very very odd to watch, but great answers from her.

I lived in Wapping between 2011-2013 and used to bump into Cillian as he was a regular at the same coffee shop I went to on my way to work ( this was before peaky blinders so he was famous but not a household name ) I spoke to him a handful of times just making small talk for a minute or two here and there, but he is so down to earth and had zero ego whatsoever by contrast I also had the misfortune of going to the same gym as Jeff Brazier (Z list celeb for those who don’t know) and what an absolute class a c**t! 😂

[tedflanc]

This has got to be the best interview I’ve ever watched. The host is honest, direct, calm and serious. There’s no interruptions or overlapping on the conversations and he just lets Emily tell it it for what it is without loud sarcasm and humor!!!

[andrewpike]

Cillian Murphy is to films what Radiohead is to music. They shun the fame and celebrity culture and just quietly go about their business, turning in genius work after genius work…

[classactsexpertiseandinspi]

Pity they didnt put this clip out before voting closed. Shes only telling the truth and stating the obvious- he is the best and miraculously has no ego about it.

"shy a person, but a beast of an actor ".
