Aidan Murphy

Aidan Gillen is a talented Irish actor who has achieved success both on the stage and in the cinema. Gillen became world famous for the role of Littlefinger in the film adaptation of George Martin's cult saga A Song of Ice and Fire. However, the actor's creative biography is not limited to this work: Aidan Gillen has dozens of equally vivid and memorable roles.

The future actor was born on April 24, 1968 in the Irish city of Dublin. There, the boy studied at St. Vincent's School. Aidan's family had four children: the actor has two sisters and a brother. Interestingly, one of Aidan Gillen's sisters, Fionnual, also chose an acting career, while brother John Paul became a talented playwright and screenwriter.

Aidan's real name is Murphy. However, at the very beginning of his career, the actor decided to take the name of his mother. According to one version, Aidan abandoned the Murphy surname due to a strained relationship with his father. On the other hand, he preferred to become Gillen due to the fact that the world already knew the actor under the name Murphy - Eddie Murphy. Aidan himself does not comment on this moment.

Aidan Gillen's interest in acting was manifested even at school age: the boy gladly appeared on the stage of the Dublin youth theater. It is known that Aidan's debut took place in the production of A Midsummer Night's Dream, based on the immortal play by William Shakespeare.

Barely celebrating his 19th birthday, Aidan Guillam traveled to London to continue his path to fame and popularity. Almost immediately, the actor was lucky enough to get a role in the film. It was Judith Herne's Lonely Passion, a touching melodrama about an old maid who fell in love with a self-serving handsome man. Aidan got a cameo role, but the aspiring actor had a chance to work with Maggie Smith and Bob Hoskins, which undoubtedly gave Gillen an invaluable experience.

Immediately after his debut filming, Aidan received invitations to shoot in new films. Some time later, the paintings "Courier", "Bell Tower", "Non-Gentlemen's Set" were released. Aidan Gillen's filmography gradually began to replenish. In 1993, viewers saw Aidan in an episode of The Purely English Murder.

1999 pleased fans of Aidan Guillem with the rather controversial role of the actor. We are talking about a series called "Close Friends", in which the actor got a gay hero. In general, the series turned out to be provocative and bold: a company of gays is at the center of events. The picture believably and in detail illuminates the difficulties and sorrows that people who are different from those around them have to face in modern life.

Aidan Guillem's performance in Close Friends was noticed by both fans of the actor and harsh critics. And they unanimously gave a positive assessment of the sincerity of Aidan's performance. Guillam was even nominated for the British Academy Television Award for Best Actor, but, unfortunately, he did not get the coveted award.

Guillem himself later admits to journalists that such a bold role did not frighten him at all. According to Aidan, the gay community is not at all a crowd of painted men who crave shocking. Homosexuals are people like everyone else, with their own dreams, difficulties and problems. And society must understand this.

The actor did not leave the theater either: the Broadway play "The Caretaker" presented Aidan Gillem with a nomination for the "Tony" - an honorary award in the field of theatrical skill.

The beginning of the 2000s was marked by works in the films "Lorna Dun", "The Last Curtain" and "My Kingdom". In 2003, the viewers were delighted with the comedy action movie "Shanghai Knights", where Owen Wilson and Jackie Chan became Aidan Guillem's co-stars. Also on the screens came the pictures "12 rounds", "Say:" I love "and" Fatal choice ".

However, the real finest hour struck for the actor in 2010. It was then that Aiden Guillem was approved for the role of Petyr Baelish in the cult TV series Game of Thrones. Petyr the Littlefinger is one of the key characters in this story about several ruling clans fighting for the Iron Throne of the Seven Kingdoms.

Guillem's character is a cunning and cunning intriguer, on whose conscience there is more than one ruined life. However, the actor sees the hero a little differently. Aidan Guillem admitted to reporters:

Together with Aidan Guillem, actors Sophie Turner, Emilia Clarke, Peter Dinklage, Kit Harington and other talented actors appeared in Game of Thrones. 

In 2012, the long-awaited film "The Dark Knight Rises" was released, in which the unrivaled Gary Oldman became Aidan Guillem's filming partner. It is interesting that moviegoers often compare Aidan Guillem's photos with those of Gary Oldman and find a clear external similarity between the actors.

Two years later, in 2014, Aidan got the main role in the thriller Silence, the action of which makes the audience freeze in front of the screens for two hours, waiting for the plot's ending.

The tall brunette (Aidan Guillem's height is 1.78 cm) has never suffered from a lack of attention from charming beauties. However, despite such popularity, the actor turned out to be a monogamous person. Aidan met his future wife at the age of 15. Since then, Guillem's personal life has been associated with only one woman.

Olivia O'Flanagan became the happy chosen one of the actor. For a long time, the lovers did not register the relationship. According to one version, the woman refused Aidan's marriage, according to another, the couple saw married life differently and could not come to a compromise.

However, in 2001, Aidan and Olivia got married. Not long before that, Olivia gave her beloved her first child - daughter Berry, and in 2000 the couple had a son, who was named Joe. Now Aidan Gillen's family lives in their native Ireland.

According to the actor, his wife and children take the first place in life. Even the long-awaited Irish Film and Television Awards, received for his work on the TV series The Wire, Aidan Guillam dedicated to his family.

Despite his fame and popularity, the actor is not going to stop there and constantly continues to act.
