Cillian Murphy: The 60 Minutes Interview

“Oppenheimer” star Cillian Murphy pulled back the curtain to talk about his approach to acting.

"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's finally getting the attention he deserves. Every Cillian Murphy fan waited for this moment for him.

Exactly, he’s not a movie star, he ‘s an actor. And I hope and pray that never changes.

Cillian Murphy is a rare diamond. He is handsome, mysterious, intelligent, and an introvert. It's awesome to see someone who doesn't like social media. I hope he wins his Oscar.

I love how he doesn't see himself as a big celebrity, which makes him really humble and down to earth.

[ruralliving]

His hometown of Cork and the whole country of Ireland is so proud of him. The most humble superstar ever!

[asmrcarly_b]

He’s 47? I would not believe that if I’d not heard it. He’s a tremendous talent!

Cillian Murphy won the genetic lottery and made the most of his gifts with hard work and perseverance.

[michaelmartin]

He seems so down to earth. He's not into fame or fortune. He just wants to be a good husband, provider, father, and actor.

His performance throughout "Peaky Blinders" was magnificent.
He is a bright star rising still.

Cillian Murphy has been one of the best actors in the world for a looonng time and it's heartening to see him finally getting his due.. hope he wins the Oscars

I love how deep of a person Cillian is. He's a profound thinker and we don't generally see that side of an actor in current times. Cillian is also such a private person that doesn't boast about himself or share personally through social media. Getting an interview with him is probably an amazing experience and quite an accomplishment for the interviewer.

[rosirosi]

Such a smart, humble, down to earth person. It is so refreshing seeing these kind of people getting the awards they deserve.

What a likable personality - and a unique actor by the way 😊

[DrLol]

The fact that Cillian just casually sits in an Irish pub with friends drinking Guiness just restored some faith to humanity

[scruffdg]

His voice and eyes alone deserve an Oscar. Cillian Murphy is one of the best.

[KimsLantern]

It’s nice too see Cillian smile and be chatty. He always seems so soft spoken and quiet in most of his interviews. It’s nice to see HIM for once.

[virglyd]

He doesn't see himself as a "movie star" because he is so much more. He's an actor who gets lost in his parts and he clearly hasn't immersed himself in the Hollywood scene. We need many more like him!

[d-string]

Such a gentle soul, He Oozes class and confidence.”

[christya]

I think the best way to describe Cillian Murphy is to say that he's a beautiful man inside and out.

[aileencastaneda]

He’s such an underrated actor and I’m so happy he’s getting the recognition. I respect that Cillian is very reserved and private.
