There is no doubt that Cillian Murphy is the talk of the town at the moment. He is one of those actors in Hollywood who is famous enough for his incredible work, but at the same time, can even escape one’s notice. In simpler words, he is the human manifestation of letting his work make all the noise while he stands on the sidelines with the rest of his admirers, instead of being in the spotlight.

Cillian Murphy is a rare specimen of an exceptionally talented and wise actor, the kind of wisdom that comes from observing. For someone who is this famous, he is surprisingly down-to-earth and genuine. So, anything that comes out of his mouth is generally taken seriously. For now, he has something to say about his fellow Oscar-nominated Irish actor.

Cillian Murphy Has Something to Say About This Irish Actor

Irish actors made quite some noise in the past year. Case in point:Cillian Murphy‘s moving performance in Christopher Nolan’s biographical drama-Oppenheimer.The movie is based on the 2005 biographyAmerican Prometheusby Kai Bird and Martin J. Sherwin.

Oppenheimerfollows the career of American physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer, especially his work on the Manhattan Project, which was undertaken during World War II to develop the first nuclear weapons, and his eventual downfall due to his security hearing in 1954.

Unsurprisingly,Christopher Nolanknew the very actor whom he wanted to star in the lead role. Nolan gets what he wants, and this time, things were no different. That having been said, Murphy has worked with some of the best actors and has been working in Hollywood long enough to form his verdict on an actor.

The actor in question isNormal Peoplebreakout Irish starPaul Mescal. In an interview withGQ, Cillian Murphy gave his verdict on Paul Mescal with a kind of pride radiating off him, saying:

“He is the real deal. He is like a true movie star. They don’t come along that often. But luckily, they seem mostly to come from Ireland. It’s a good time to be an Irish actor, it seems.”

Being an Irish actor, Murphy certainly knows about the struggles of making it big in Hollywood. Acknowledging other Irish actors making it big in the industry simply depicts his humility.

Everyone who has worked with theBatman Beginsactor has only got good things to say about him. Even theChaplinstar has spoken highly of Murphy on a different occasion.
