Cillian Murphy

From the movie hero played by Cillian Murphy it is impossible to take your eyes off. The Irishman with bottomless blue eyes are interested in images that cause a storm of feelings, when after watching the film the viewer wants to have a drink in the nearest bar to relieve tension and "unload" the brains.

It just so happens that most often he has to play personalities uncondouring or with a heavy fate, but always - nature at the same time holistic and multifaceted. And this does not mean that the directors, picking up the performer on the next marginal, it is easy to persuade Killian. Murphy doesn't chase fashion blockbusters, "if you want a long-term career, choose the right roles."

Killian was born on May 25, 1976, in the Irish county of Cork. At first, the family, which, in addition to Killian, grew up three younger children, lived in Douglas, but then moved to the suburb of Ballinthample.

Murphy's adult family worked in education. My father was an inspector in the department, my mother taught French. Killian's grandfather, uncles and aunts also worked as teachers. In addition, Murphy had a musical education, so Killian, who played the guitar perfectly, since childhood dreamed of becoming a rock star.

The fascination with music almost led the teenager to sign a serious contract with a well-known music label. At the last moment, the deal was canceled. Perhaps it was the hand of fate, because very soon Killian Murphy realized what he really wants to connect with the future life. At the age of 16, the young man happened to be at a master class in dramatic art. As Killian later admitted, he felt an epiphany.

However, after graduating from high school, Killian Murphy, at the urging of his parents, entered the University of Cork, not a drama school, but a law school. The young man felt no desire to be a lawyer. Studying legal disciplines seemed boring and uninteresting.

But Murphy gladly visited the theater studio at the university and participated in productions, each time demonstrating the increasing acting skills. Once a young actor, who is medium tall (175 cm), but expressive appearance, noticed the directors of the play "Discosvinia" and invited to the main role. From that moment the creative biography of Cillian Murphy began.

A successful debut in the acclaimed play "Discosvinia", which was shown at the Dublin Festival, so inspired 20-year-old Murphy that the young man finally decided to focus on the acting career. Killian regularly performs on the stage, but now in Dublin, and in between has time to act in a movie.

The debut on the screen was the film "SunBurn", released in 1999. The role of a life burner who escaped from a pregnant girlfriend in America, in this film becomes a real breakthrough for Cillian Murphy. From that moment on, the actor increasingly appears on the set and less often - on the theatrical stage. A new star image went to the young artist in the melodramatic film "On the Edge", where it was about a young man Jonathan, who decided to commit suicide.

And in 2001, Cillian Murphy first tried his hand as a screenwriter - wrote the script of the comedy "Observers" and played the main role there. The film was shown at the Festival in Edinburgh and received a lot of warm reviews. In the same year, director Kristen Sheridan invited Cillian Murphy to participate in the film adaptation of the already familiar play "Discosvinia". The actor not only agreed, but also wrote the soundtrack to this picture.

A black comedy called "The Gap" broke all previous box office records in Ireland. In the center of the plot - the hero Colin Farrell, a professional robber, intending to rob a bank. Killian is assigned the role of accomplice. The project is directed by John Crowley, the same one that shot the Oscar-nominated drama "Brooklyn" with Sirsha Ronan and Donal Gleeson.

With Donal's father, Emmy-winning and Golden Globe nominee Brendan Gleeson, the actor worked on the post-apocalyptic thriller "28 Days Later." Danny Boyle's big-screen film grossed more than $80 million at the box office, and also became a stepping stone for the artist's professional growth: after that Killian was invited to Hollywood.

Murphy is soon seen in a miniseries called "The Roads We Choose." It was a rise in the career ladder, because the film was shown on the BBC channel. But to play the role of a romantic aristocrat Irish Murphy had to work a lot on the English accent. The series was a huge success, and the actor learned far beyond the borders of his native Ireland.

In 2003, Cillian Murphy again performed on the theatrical stage, which in his youth he perceived as a hobby. The actor played Konstantin from Chekhov's Seagull. The play was staged by Peter Stein. The director initiated the fact that the artists involved in the production went to Russia, where for the best entry into the images visited the estate of Anton Pavlovich Chekhov in Melichovo. The production was a great success and in 2003 was shown at the prestigious festival in Edinburgh.

In the famous film "Cold Mountain" the main roles belong to Nicole Kidman, Jude Law and Renee Sellweger. Killian's fans later expressed regret on social media that their pet had so little screen time in the film, nominated for an Oscar in seven nominations and a BAFTA at 13.

That same year, Cillian Murphy appeared on screen as a butcher. It happened in the drama "The Girl with the Pearl Earring", in which Scarlett Johansson and Colin Firth shined. The problem was that Killian was a staunch vegetarian. Therefore, staying in a slaughterhouse to be in the role proved to be a difficult test for the Irishman.

After this work in the filmreper killian Murphy appeared several more images of negative characters. First of all, it's Psychiatrist Crane in the blockbuster Batman. The Beginning" by Christopher Nolan, starring Christian Bale, and the Joker's antihero is Heath Ledger. Murphy later starred in a sequel to the franchise called The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight. The rebirth of the legend."

This film was followed by the thriller "Night Flight", in which Murphy played Jackson Rieppner (The Ripper), a creepy accomplice of terrorists with an angelic appearance. Killian's partner in this film was Rachel McAdams. Subsequently, the actor joked that he did not understand people who saw the picture and are not afraid to get on the same plane with him. He was glued to the role of the "perfect villain."

Murphy decided to change this state of affairs and starred in the dramatic film "Breakfast on Pluto", in which fans saw him as a drag queen Patrick Brayden. The antihero label was done. Moreover, the role earned him a new dose of fame: Murphy received a Golden Globe nomination and was awarded the Irish Television Academy Award.

Critics consider this work the best in Killian's acting career, however, as well as work in the film "The Wind That Sways Heather." This is a historical drama about the Irish struggle for independence. Remarkably, the film was filmed in Cillian's home county of Cork.

It was the year of the release of the sci-fi thriller "The Ashes", where Murphy appeared as a scientist saving the planet from freezing. In preparation for this work, the actor consulted with physicists from the Geneva Laboratory for a long time. Members of the spacecraft crew trying to resuscitate the Sun by nuclear explosion were played by Mark Strong, Chris Evans, Michelle Eo.

And in 2007 came two romantic tapes - comedy "Watching Detectives" and melodrama "Forbidden Love." In the first heroine Lucy Lew, a fatal beauty, breaks into the life of the owner of the video rental, who thought of himself a connoisseur of cinema, and turns it upside down.

The second, based on real events, is about the difficult relationship between two married couples. Sienna Miller and Graeme McPherson starred here with Killian. The film was produced by the granddaughter of the heroes Murphy and Keira Knightley. The film was a great success for the audience and critics.

A significant project in 2010 was the thriller "Peacock" where the artist played in a duet with Susan Sarandon. Murphy's hero, John, suffers from a split personality. After the death of his mother, the young man begins to change into women's clothes and appears to others under the name Emma. Lies bring the hero to the forced murder.

In the same year, Murphy participates in the next project of Christopher Nolan - thriller "The Beginning" with Leonardo DiCaprio in the title role. It grossed $800 million at the box office and was ranked among the best films of all time. Murphy is reincarnated as the head of robert Fischer's powerful financial corporation, which becomes the object of the development of the industrial spy Cobb.

In the sci-fi action movie "Time" Killian played the role of a negative character - the time guard Raymond Leon, who serves the government of civilization, where the only currency is considered time. Justin Timberlake also starred in the film.

High ratings also won the dramatic thriller "Escape", where Cillian Murphy appeared in the ensemble with Thandie Newton and Jamie Bell, reincarnated as heroes, accidentally surviving the attack of a deadly virus on human civilization.

In 2012, the filmography of the artist was supplemented by another blockbuster - thriller "Red Lights", in which he played the physicist Tom Buckley. The Irishman's partners on the stage were Hollywood stars Sigourney Weaver and Robert De Niro.

The drama "Broken" in the first place, according to the performer of the role of teacher Cillian Murphy, is a story about the fact that there is no perfect family, about the problem of fathers and children, about the fact that a person, in fact, does not grow up.

In 2013, Killian produced the crime series Sharp Visors, where he also played the main character, the leader of the group Thomas Shelby. In the gangster saga, it was about the confrontation of the gangster clan Shelby and the British police in the person of Inspector Chester Campbell (Sam Neill). The action takes place in the UK in the post-war years.

Again, Murphy needed some overcoming himself: the hairstyle, the gangster's manner of moving and talking - just ways to "look like a cool bastard" that he had never been in his life. At the BAFTA TV Awards 2018, the National Film Academy presented the award in the category "Sharp Visors" in the category "Best Drama Series".

In 2016, the military drama Anthropoid premiered, where Cillian Murphy, paired with Jamie Dornan, played heroes of the Czech resistance who managed to carry out a plan to destroy the third Reich statesman Reinhard Heydrich.

In late autumn, the filming of the comedy action film "Shooting" was completed, produced by Martin Scorsese. In the picture it was about a failed underground deal to sell weapons. Murphy again tried on the image of a member of the gang.

In July 2017, the military drama "Dunkirk" premiered with Tom Hardy in the title role, where Killian got a cameo role as a soldier. The film is dedicated to the military operation of the same name to evacuate the soldiers who were under siege, conducted by the anti-Hitler coalition at the beginning of World War II.

Now Killian Murphy's personal life is his wife and two children. The artist dated his wife Yvonne McGuinness for 8 years. They married in 2004. Yvonne is a creative person who is engaged in video art.

Malachi's first son was born in 2005, and Carrick was born a year later. In 2015, the family changed their home at London's queen's park to a penthouse in Dublin. There are few residents in this city compared to the British capital, and "it is better for the head to have fewer people around."

In his spare time, the actor likes to run with the dog along the coast, play ukulele and sing. Killian leads a closed life, trying, by his own admission, to avoid the fate of Brad Pitt, about every step of which is known to the public.

He has no personal accounts on Instagram and other social media. In forums dedicated to the actor's work, fans argue over whether Killian did plastic or not. The artist himself does not comment on rumors of this kind, but moviegoers, having studied the photo of the artist, noticed that Murphy's nose eventually became, and lips - more plump.

In 2019, Killian returned to the role of the ringleader of "Sharp Trumps": the Air Force announced the final, 5th, season of the narrative about the criminal authority. In the previous updated cast of the film: the actor's ensemble was joined by Adrian Brody, Aidan Gillen, Jack Rowan. In the story Shelby, not without losses emerged victorious in the war with the Italian mafia, plans to resume the alcohol trade and revive old ties in the army environment.

Murphy's collaboration with Brendan Gleeson continues. Both Irishmen are working on the film "On the Waterfowl", which tells the story of a student-philologist, writing a novel with 3 different endings. For Killian, this project is an opportunity to star in the company of Michael Fassbender, for Gleason Sr. - directorial debut.

Cillian Murphy, according to media reports, was a "great addition" to the cast of the sequel to the horror film "Silent Place" with Emily Blunt.
