Dear SAG actors. This guy is your guy, he's started from the bottom and grinded his way for over 20 years!
EXACTLY
It's been 28 years, so a long time.
@@rehnumachowdhury3629 28 years later
Great to see it him and others work for on perfecting their craft for many years. Andrew Scott and Joaquin Phoenix to name but a few.
ah now he was also incredibly lucky with a small but vibrant theatre/play tradition in Ireland and exceptional writing from the likes of Enda Walsh and Patrick McCabe - you can nearly spot the moment when Danny Boyle saw Disco Pigs and thought 'oh that forlorn lost look is exactly what I'm after for 28 days'; that being said he had toured with the play (and others for years) and I think he's right about theatre being formative.
I'm a simple person, I see Cillian Murphy, I click.
Cillian just sat there for 1 hour and 23 minutes giving credit to everyone but himself. HUMBLE MAN. he's incredible.
Hi I am Irish and this is a very Irish way to be, its almost impossible to compliment an Irish person, we´ll always try to pass the compliment to someone else. I have travelled to many countries and rarely see this elsewhere.
@@JobHuntingAbroad Finnish people are like this as well. Massive relate. It's just embarrassing 😅
What an interesting, open and intelligent interview. I was already a fan of Cillian Murphy, but now I’m a super fan!❤️
Thats the irish .. he loves doing what he does without the movie star look at me …❤ ☘️☘️☘️🇮🇪
"Not much to look at" says the most beautiful man on Earth 😍😍😍
This is not long enough. Cillian is the most unbothered person in the industry. I just love his energy.
I think he's gotten better and I think if the interviewer is this informed / intelligent he can get into it, as here; he doesn't want to 'play the game' I think of Stephen Colbert's disastrous paddywhackery interview about C.Nolan's weighty Dunkirk - that interview would have been so different had Stephen seen ANY modern Irish film like Disco Pigs, On the Edge or Intermission!
He's beautiful he's calm he's clever he's eloquent what a man
future oscar winner cillian murphy
I don't think he cares about awards. And rightly so. He just loves his craft.
@@lea-anne9133 I agree BUT I wouldn’t downplay the honor of receiving such an award and I think cillian would feel incredibly humbled and grateful to be praised for his work in such a way. it’s been a long time coming
I know but he's gonna win nevertheless lol
@@lea-anne9133 I think so too, but we fans want what he pretty much deserves, that's all
I hope he wins, he certainly deserves the most this year.
an almost hour and a half cillian video???? hell yeah
update: just finished and damn is it nice to hear someone facilitate this kind of conversation with him. he has done SO much acting, so much incredible work, and this is just an incredibly well-rounded interview.
!!!
cillian murphy the oscar is yours
You can keep talking and I can keep listening. He is calmness
Excellent description. I was just thinking the same. None of that over the top, manic, narcissistic behavior. Just calmness and charm. And always so complimentary of others.
Cannot agree more
The interviewer is empathetic and charismatic/ quick witted. And Cillian responds well with her. Good interaction.
I'm from Dublin and I remember waiting on the bus home after work and a mate that I was waiting with he said "there's cillian murphy"...and I said "where" and he said "right there in that car" and he was 100% right...he was right there in traffic sitting in the passenger side up the front about 3 ft away from me...traffic at 5pm on amiens Street is really busy so he was sitting there for at least 10 minutes for the traffic to start moving so I got a really good look at him just to make sure it was him and yup it definitely him no doubt about it....that was over 20 years ago....hes a fantastic actor that worked his way up from the bottom..
He has to win the Oscar for oppenheimer.
He ended up winning the Oscar!
Oh, give him the Oscar. He has earned it time and time again! Brilliant bloke, so humble and talented.
“Instinct over intellect.” In the world of art and acting, feeling something is more important than rationalizing it. Great advice! I have learned so much in this interview.
He's a tonic! He so self effacing, even when his sons text him that he has been nominated for an award, his first thought is not, 'oh my boys, I'm so happy you two told me', it's, 'why aren't ye in school?!'. Humble even when being praised by his own family!
Cillian Murphy’s is the epitome of an actors actor, impressive individual with no airs or graces about him and an incredibly down to earth kind of fella.
Oppenheimer deserves to sweep every award under the sun. It brought back moviegoers post covid
Same was said for top gun
@@TuskenSithyea but i think what oppenheimer achieved with imax was better
Yes!!
@@GalvezrebornDid you notice what I did in the Trinity test sequence: during the silence of the initial bomb blast, the only thing I could hear in the theater was the “click click click” of the IMAX projector. Just like a Geiger counter. Brilliant.
I think listening to Cillian is an education. Since discovering him rather recently, I am compelled to buy the books he suggests, watch his many films and I even listened to him narrate the history of Ireland. His voice is like honey but his intellect, his honesty, and his sincerity about anything he does draws me to him. I have learned so much and am so grateful for him.
Samee I’ve listened to many podcasts and interviews with him and I end up taking notes on his recommendations, advice, etc. I’m so glad he’s gaining much deserved recognition for his acting contributions ✨
The same thing happened to me. I had no idea who Cillian Murphy was but I knew who Oppenheimer was. I’d read Feynman’s books and was eager to see how the film played out. I hadn’t been in a theater in 18 years when Oppenheimer came out. I was astounded, astonished, blown away by Cillian’s portrayal. The I saw Peakey Blinders. The contrast between Tommy Shelby and Oppenheimer could not have been more stark. Now i watch his interviews, his films, read the books he recommends….. i read Small Things Like These and can’t wait to see the film. This man is a genius. And humble. Great combination. Plus he’s funny.
@@pamelarogers1141You should check out The Wind That Shakes The Barley if you haven’t seen it. It’s about the Irish war of independence and subsequent civil war. Directed by the great Ken Loach.
@@pamelarogers1141 do you happen to have a list of the books he recommends?
Radio stations, you probably didn't know
Being a massive Peaky Blinders fan, I’ve seen Cillian as being one of the greatest actors of our generation for a long time now. So happy to see everyone who didn’t faithfully watch that show be fully on board as well.
Glad that there's an hour and 23 minutes of Cillian Murphy being interviewed at the SAG Foundation. He seems wonderful to be listened too in telling stories
Janelle did a good job here! i think Murphy really becomes engaged when the journalist he talks to is very skilled.
he's genuinely so funny throwing dad jokes and you can really see how much more he gained confidence and talks a lot, maybe because he finally got the platform for talking about all these things I'M SO PROUD OF HIM😭😭😭
cillian probably has like 100 black t-shirts alone 😭
Maybe it’s the same old black shirt. Biggest fan since Pluto and Batman begins. Fell in love with him in Edge of Love
He's just so incredibly good-looking. His bone structure, his eyes and his face. God really took His time with him.
@@petitor_veritatis1936 amen. you're speaking the truth! he is incredibly stunning
@@user-eo9kl7vx3e good choice ! breakfast on pluto is one of my all time favourite 🫶
His voice is exquisite
All of him is beyond EXQUISITE ❤
This interview was hilarious. Cillian is unintentionally funny
This is the best interview I've seen, great questions, he looks relax, inmerce, and is genuinely interested in giving a good answer. Love him❤ and she is a great interviewer.
he is an amazing actor. I hope it wins the Oscars and the SAGs
Not sure why, but I feel like my award season will be complete if he wins the Oscar this year.
His performance in The Wind that shakes the Barley is unbelievable, broke me as a young man.
He is such a joy to listen to. Intelligent, humble, calm and surprisingly funny. Very easy on the eye too. Happy to see his current success, hope he wins that Oscar - though I'm sure it won't bother him one bit if he doesn't.
People think Cillian's super power are his eyes. I think it is his voice. Or maybe it is both: the warm, lush voice combined with the cool, icy eyes. But it is also his total embodiment of being. V cool guy. Oppenheimer was brilliant. Thank you.
And the lips and cheekbones....
I came to see him because media make us believe that he is kind of introvert and what I found is that he is kind and funny, glad to watch this interview and get to know a little bit more of this artist.
No one talks about Watching The Dectectives, it's a delicious little romcom and he's quite funny. I need someone to ask him questions about that movie.
I think this is my favorite Cillian interview. He's so damn delightful.
He is so relaxed with her.
As a long time cillian fan I'm so happy he's finally getting the recognition he deserves, finally everyone sees how sweet, humble and talented of an actor and human being he is. I dare to say now the whole world is obssesed with him hahah even he is kinda more social now because he is meeting and chating with all the people he admires. I really hope he's gonna get more diversive and interesting scripts, working with various directors, this really shifted his career and my heart couldn't be more full.
It’s pure joy to listen to Cillian Murphy ❤
A guy with major talent without a beard and gorgeous face … so few of these.
Man Cillian waited 20 years for the perfect pitch and hit a Grand slam!.
Beautifully put. It’s the most satisfying thing ever.
He is so different from his Peaky Blinders character. What an actor he is, imagine how difficult it is for your everyday Joe to be so good at acting.
he's so soft spoken, i love him sm
Love the interviewer, she was really well informed and asked great questions for great answers from the best actor, Cillian Murphy!
I first noticed Cillian in a film about the fight forcan Irish Republic called 'The Wind that shakes the Barley' from the old song.
That movie is around 20 years old now, and I have grown to look forward to the honest characterisation which Cillian brings to every role.
Well done Mate
wow. I like how he thinks of himself as a working actor. A worker.
He’s so articulate and interesting. And funny. She always seems to brings out the best in the interviewee.
THE AMAZING CILLIAN MURPHY
We need to see that photo of jenelle’s therapist.
Future Oscar winner Cillian is just maddeningly thorough and thoughtful it makes it seem that he’s not of this earth when he talks. Could listen to him talk all day about movies and film. I learned a lot about him, his process and how he works just from this! Thank you!
Cillian: "Sort of a dead genre" re: zombie movies 😂. That was underbelly hilarious
I feel blessed we got almost an hour and a half with Cillian Murphy!
thank god for that drama module
JENELLE (my favorite interviewer) DOING CILLIAN'S RETROSPECTIVE FUCK YEAH
Here you can perfectly see how happy, relaxed and so funny he is, maybe it's because he finally has the platform and finally can speak about the things he wants and look back at his career. I need more interview just like this one with him alone, nobody interupting.
Cilli has an amazing career! I wish him more movies ahead, awards are nice, but not that important! Well, he is the most handsome actor in the world. Love him❤❤❤
What a King
Cillian you perfect man
His performance was absolutely monumental, he left my soul in pieces! I truly hope he wins the Oscar because this year there’s no story he was the one! Also doing all of that with an IMAX camera 5 cm from your face making a noise like a tractor… just wow! From getting the first script posted to a tent to the Oscar, I mean what a story!
Love this man, a true actor ❤
He is so self effacing and ethereally Gorgeous✨❤.
Jenelle Riley really is the greatest interviewer; genuinely engaged in whatever/whoever she’s talking to and has this subtle way of making whoever’s being interviewed so comfortable and at ease.. Not to mention she always seems prepared, clearly intelligent and knowledgeable about the craft and industry and asks interesting questions.. So kudos girl!👏🏻 Also looking fab here, love the pants❣️
Agree totally.
It’s so nice to see him getting recognition after loving his work for so many years and peaky blinders being so brilliant he should have won every award for that show as well. ❤
Lovely listening to an interview with Cillian where there is given time to really talk. And Jenelle really looks happy and prepared as well. Just great.
Without question, the most insightful and rewarding interview I’ve seen with Cillian Murphy, who was both relaxed and forthcoming in his responses.
Please give him the oscar!
He deserves Oscar already
You're not a failed musician.
It's just that acting is your calling🙏
I remember being a child and watching him being the villan in Red Eye. Even if I only watched it once, I kind of felt he has something special. ❤️ i am glad to see him being main lead in amazing movies or series
Time flies when i listen to Cillian Murphy, could listen to him forever. Enjoyed this interview!!!
I hope the world is nice to him 😔❤ he deserves honesty and kindness he's so humble and to himself
Incredibly humble, hilarious and talented!
Cillian is amazing
he got so much better with interviews
yes! he looks a little more comfortable and speaks openly now. he seems happy :)
I’d say more comfortable …
If I interview Cillian Murphy I would be star struck! I love this conversation!
OMG his voice... can uou imagine him whispering in your ear... ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Love Cillian, yesterday, today and tomorrow...💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
Better than the 60 mins interview. Salute to Cillian.
What an absolutely lovely lady and journalist she is. I tend to come back to sag aftra interviews again and againg because they are the most genuine and I always want to see this lady. She has more charisma than most of the people she is interviewing. I hope they are paying her loads of money because she is gold. And also, how pretty. Love her style.
Such a charming man and so humble. Great interview
What a gent; makes you feel proud to be a regional but informed Irish man/woman. Loved Sunshine.
i LOVE cillian murphy
He is my favourite actor since 28 days later
Very honest and no bullshit.So proud of Cillian Murphy.
This video is not long enough. I want to listen to it for days!!
He’s so sweet❤
Very humble guy and so easy to listen to. Also using the method the correct way.
Cillian is amazing and he deserves Oscar I love him 🥺🥰🥰🥰🥰
oscar winner
Cillian is magnificent❤
Always great to see Cillian's view and ideas about the Oppenheimer movie. His kind and thoughtful expressions stole my heart. You have a one of a kind soul Cillian. Bless you in every endeavor in your future.
🌿⚘️✨️🕊✨️⚘️🌿
I love his voice. He tells stories on the sleep app Calm. You have to pay though. I thinks it’d be worth it.
i love how he is he is so eloquent with his words
SUCH A NICE HUMBLE MAN
It's been too long since I last saw Jenelle do another one of these! My absolute favorite interviews.
I’m rooting for you, Cillian!
Jenelle! You look great! You go girl!
Excellent interview, goes easily, naturally, genuinely and deeply.
CILLIAN DESERVES IT
Jenelle Riley is the best interviewer EVER !!!!!
Hopeful that Cillian wins on Saturday!
Outstanding performance Cillian beautiful interview also a breath of fresh air
I really love his hairstyle in this. It fits him perfectly. And even if the Batman's suit didn't fit, it was really cute when he put it on. Theatre really seems to shape him and his acting skill by pushing the imagination on what a character should be. Wish someday I can have a chance to see him on stage.
On another note, Jenelle, I am shocked to know there is a real Jonathan Crane out there who looks just like Cillian. LOL. I also wanted Red Eye to end happily ever after, but I do like Jackson as he was, all one pen on his throat thing.
One of the greatest actors of our time. Him and Giamatti are truly worthy winners this year, so it'll be tough. Great interview as always.
here after he won! 😍
