![“Just look at my face,” says Cillian Murphy quizzically. “Do these
features look like they’re built for romantic comedy?” The handsome
square jawline certainly has it. So does that soft, sculpted cupid’s
bow, while his pale complexion is sprinkled by a smattering of sweet,
brown freckles. Undeniably, the actor has gifted potential as a
Hollywood Murphy’s rom-com leading man. But the eyes are the problem. Penetrating, glassy Medusa blues, like
pools of intensity. Even in their relaxed form, they intimidate and
daunt. Together with razor- sharp bone structure, Murphy has not so much
“bitchy resting face”, but more “threatening resting face”. So the
rom-com scripts never come. “Which is fine because they’re not really my thing. I know many other
actors have turned their hand to it later in life, like De Niro, so who
knows? Maybe it could happen. But it would feel very alien to me. I
don’t think I’m genetically built for a ‘boy meets girl, laughter
ensues’, but we’ll see.”- excerpt from Cillian Murphy: A Journey Through His Career, a new interview with Image.ie [[MORE]]Instead, the striking Corkman has cultivated a lucrative A-list career
playing reflective, brooding characters, often hovering over an
ambiguous line between moral and malevolent. From his blistering breakthrough in Danny Boyle’s pacy zombie thriller, 28 Days Later,
the teacher’s son who grew up in the leafy suburb of Douglas has chosen
his work and his creative cohorts with careful intent: Anthony
Minghella’s Cold Mountain, aviation horror Red Eye, and a searing, flamboyant turn as transgender Kitten in Breakfast on Pluto, earning a Golden Globe nomination.A close bond with Christopher Nolan led to four collaborations with the director, including mindbender Inception and the three Batman movies as frenzied bad guy, the Scarecrow. Consequently, he auditioned for The Dark Knight himself, but lost out to
Christian Bale and his sizeable pecs. “My big defeat was an
incapability to wear the Batsuit, and not have it swamp me.” Broader in the flesh while clad in a dark shirt, rolled at the sleeves,
Murphy is a bona-fide movie star who lives a distinctly un-movie star
existence in West London with wife Yvonne McGuinness and their two sons,
Malachy, ten, and eight-year-old Aran – both of whom have yet to
indicate whether they’ll follow in their father’s footsteps. “All a bit
too early to tell,” remarks the actor brusquely.A former musician, whose rock outfit, Sons of Mr Greengenes with younger
brother Paidi, was once offered a five-album deal, the trappings of a
glitzy lifestyle hold little appeal for the former UCC law dropout. “If you act like a celebrity, you’re treated like a celebrity,” Cillian
says with a crooked smirk. “If you behave like an ordinary person,
you’ll be treated like one.”Granting his first and only Late Late interview five years ago,
the 39-year-old has always measured fame and its superficial frivolity
with deep disdain. Although he admits, his attitude is mellowing. “Gratefully, there’s very little demand for me in that medium, and
that’s probably a result of how I’ve operated over the years. There’s
nothing intrusive or gossipy to ask, so I think people got bored pretty
early on. “Not to say it doesn’t happen ever, but I’m probably more sanguine about
it now, better able to navigate. I understand that the film is a
product and the product needs promotion for people to go and see it. I’m
cognitive of that and I’m aware. But at 22, I was a lot more reluctant
to co-operate.”Mustering a muted chuckle while quickly glancing at his watch, he meets
me in London to talk about his latest film, savage swashbuckler In the Heart of the Sea. Based on Nathaniel Philbrick’s novel about real events in the 1800s, which inspired Moby-Dick,
the film sees Murphy play a naval officer of the Essex whaleship, which
is attacked by a ferocious bull whale who sinks the vessel and leaves
the crew shipwrecked and facing death. Shot in a stadium-sized, purpose-built water tank in Leavesden
Studios outside London before relocating to the Canary Islands, the epic
production was a test of endurance for Murphy and fellow cast members
Chris Hemsworth, Tom Holland and Ben Whishaw. Although, not quite the
torturous Titanic-esque odyssey he’d previously anticipated. “I knew it wouldn’t be easy. I’d have people saying we’d be in the water
23 hours a day. Freezing, practically drowning. It wasn’t quite like
that. We were certainly damp and wet a lot of the time – that wasn’t too
pleasant, but it lent itself, by a fraction, to what these men went
through.
“And the studio is so concerned with health and welfare, there’s no way
anyone would be in any real danger. There was no real hardship.”However, the real challenge came with depicting their struggle to
survive after the attack, which called for a 500-calorie-a-day diet,
resulting in a 20-pound weight loss for the 5’8” actor. “It’s not something I’d like to repeat. You think about food all the
time – dream about food. But it was bonding because we all had to go
through it. Some had it harder than others, with their different
dimensions. It wasn’t the ideal, but it had to be done. “So for my next role, I’ll go fat. I’ve no problem gaining a bunch of weight. That’s a sacrifice I’ll happily make.”While robbed of that corpulent delight with his next projects, WWII espionage thriller Anthropoid with Jamie Dornan and 1970s gangland drama Free Fire, not to forget an upcoming season of BBC’s gritty costumed saga Peaky Blinders,
Murphy’s big screen success is a wondersome reflection of just how far
he’s come, some 20 years after moving to Dublin to pursue his dream. “There were points when I first moved up there from Cork, when I would
think, ‘Is it worth it? Can I keep going?’ I thought of quitting. Many
times. And right when I was at that brink, something would crop up; a
job at the Gate or the Gaiety. Every time. “I was very poor, but I had no responsibilities. And I think for anyone
in the same situation, that’s what you have to remember. You need
perseverance, you need determination. You need to wait out the bad times
before the good. Because if it all happened overnight, it would be a
bit strange, wouldn’t it …?”](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_sXBFPzpjD7hhdPNyPzEtZMf60ET03Bs8u4CleMuFvmxAeqEosIPpjnX9DxH1buqfk2KISu5JFPRIsJFIhmVAaiTHx28o8HrSgD1uYGp2uD3EDk7X8GwkNvfnIxrcIZE7xauaNe6MKUYJ6T1i1F1SaLylnxHOnWYcpS_LszTHkE2MZ781M=s0-d)
