Hats off to his agent\agents for making absolutely sure that his press tour is actually suited for his personality. No silly interviews with puppies or whatnot...just art and the respect for it. Bravo team!

[Gangstawns]

I’ve read that Cillian likes his life to be kept private. He looks comfortable doing this interview but I’m sure he’s ready to get the award season over with so he doesn’t have to do so many of these interviews.

[spelakovic]

I love Cillian’s calming aura, he’s so effortlessly cool and chill

[Elizabeth-sozp]

This is one of the most intelligent and insightful interviews I’ve ever seen an actor give - he’s just incredible and so generous in offering up all his experience and technique for this project.

Cillian is just so lovely and cool at the same time. It's hard to not be charmed by him.

Been a fan of, Cillian Murphy since ''Red Eye.'' He's as interesting off camera as he is, in the movies. A well deserved Oscar for Oppenheimer too. Masterful performance.

[joelanthonyalvarado]

I love Cillian getting all this shine finally

[jamiieeeeee]

I’m glad he dispelled the almond rumor. I kept seeing people take that seriously lol

[luissantos]

I’m just so happy that his talent is finally being recognized on the level it should.
Nolan always knew.

Oppenheimer was one of my favorite films of 2023. I just got the movie on Blu Ray and watched it again. Christopher Nolan along with the cast and crew of this film knocked it out of the park. This movie deserves all the awards it gets.

[teniko]

[Nicole-tkxv]

[neotronextrem]

That slight smirk, after saying "bring them back" is very relatable. Postironic vanity

[Trsh-nqpp]

I could watch interviews like this all day.

[raddicolls]
