Cillian Murphy Shares The History Behind His Film 'Dunkirk' 

Perhaps for you, school girl.

@@kristopherryanwatson Hahahahaha

@@kristopherryanwatson 💯💯💯🤣

Every time, every time I watch a video of this guy there’s always one of these comments

To be fair, he's just not used to the American chat show style. Which is, sadly, idiotic questions. He's a highly respected actor and the guy is asking about lucky charms because he's Irish. Poor form.

And a glass of whiskey

Yeah lol

And whiskey 😂

And a gun

Guys let me ask you..are you really agree Tommy with grace? or he's better with may..?

Yes lol

Perceptive.

Oh boy😂😂😂

John-boiyyyy!!!

Lol

He is a crazy good actor

true i would‘ve never guessed that he was so shy and nervous and that he absolutely hates interviews haha

just watch him at Craig's, way less shy

I think he is just shocked by the terrible standard of questions

Brilliant actor! One of the best

EQ-smoove I think his makes more sense then your nonsense"diagnosis" 😂

jeez I just said he's kind of an introvert :) same way you sound kind of depressed

Rory Good nope i was referring to the other guy

bunnyblurrz Oh okay , sorry

He's not introverted.. He's just too normal to deal with the freaks and assholes of the media.

hahahahaha

ehehe that was very good

Franz*😂😂😂

OMG haaha

*Frahnz

It's actually the rebel country cork

It’s cork

I'm honestly sick of stuff like this, can the man not have a life outside of his job ffs. Don't get me wrong, peaky blinders is a fantastic show, but its really annoying to see people constantly trying to compare his life to it all the time

@@misterconor1434 I agree

in small heath

😂😂😂

😆😆 totally! Complete waste of an interview- should have had better questions prepared and left the stupid nauseating, cliched comments behind.

Joys of being Irish ☘️

Omfg thank you. I hate bad interviews. This gave me second hand embarrassment like you had 10min with Cillian Murphy and you asked him about cereal ??

@@emma4955 hahahah yes!

Eddie Cruz Watching him and Tom Hardy going back and forth in Pesky Blinders is a goddamn treat.

Willis you can’t be more right we’re lucky

I loved him in "The Wind That Shakes The Barley."

I want the link of his movie (Beaky Blinders ) please 🤗 if it exists on RU-vid.

Red Eye was the first movie I saw him in and he was great. Just finished season 5 of Peaky Blinders and he's definitely top 5 for me now 🙂 found a new favorite show

Sadly yeah. They're both introverts, Cillian a hardcore one, and I imagine the conversation to be like this if they can't find anything in common. Speaking of which, that whole Irish thing is also something that's weird for Europeans and we don't really know how to react to. If you say you're Irish, it is expected that you were at least born and raised, at least for some time, in Ireland. Americans are really quick to say something like "Oh yeah I'm Italian" because your great grandparents were originally from Italy, even though you have never been in Italy and maybe don't speak but few words of the Italian language. So when Stephen goes "Oh yeah I'm Irish", Europeans, and especially Irish like Murphy go "... No. No you're not. You're American." Makes it even more awkward when that one thing that you have in common, well, you don't have in common.

TL;DR/summary: African Americans are not Africans that's true, but the term, even if incorrect, doesn't make similar misunderstands like "I'm Irish", and it's okay to be proud of your heritage, but it comes across a bit like pretending to be something you're not when you bluntly say "I'm Irish!", especially if you talk to someone who is really Irish, which can be just really awkward if you don't want to offend the other by showing how non-Irish they really are, but that's just kinda inevitable, and so the conversation can be awkward and uncomfortable. It's more of a culture thing how Europeans and Americans define themselves rather than a competition who is the most Irish, but it does cause misunderstandings... and awkwardness. Essay time... just skip it if you value your free time lol. Well "African American" means just black. I mean... it can't really mean anything else. You can't really say "I'm European American", it doesn't say anything. But it's true that American blacks are not any more African than Colbert is Irish, so if you think about it, yes a rather incorrect term. But as it is a term that really says nothing, there's not the same kind of misunderstanding, as in if you say "I'm Scottish" or "I'm Irish", because Europeans would like to go "Oh I visited in Scotland, where do you live there?" or something similar. It's just saying that you are something that you are not. It's just strange. You can say you descend from something, like your family's roots are in Ireland or in Italy, which gives the idea why you love and are interested in Italy, but that does not make you Italian, unless you go and live there for however long I guess. Which is something I forgot to add, that obviously you can say you're Swedish or British if you've lived there for a however long time and adapt to the culture even if you weren't born there, but back to Colbert, if he says "I'm Irish", it means, in the generalized European ear, that 1. you were born and raised (for some time) in Ireland or 2. you moved to Ireland and have lived there for quite some time. It's not a competition, sure, but it's something that can piss people off a bit, as it comes a very wanna-be like when you are neither. I mean... I wouldn't say I'm Mongolian even if I have a bit of Mongolian blood in me, as I know nothing of the culture and I'm born and raised in Finland, as are my parents and grandparents, and if I were to say "Oh cool I'm Mongolian too!" to a Mongolian... I'd just feel that to be very disrespectful. I don't mean that as in "You're not really Irish get out here" thing, but as a... well, a cultural difference between Europeans and Americans when it comes to talking about your heritage, and it can cause misunderstandings and just... strange, uneasy feeling when you have so different ideas what it means to be "Irish". Which, coming back to this interview, can make talking about it more awkward if Cillian doesn't really want to offend Colbert by sort of "exposing him" as not really Irish and accidentally humiliating him by showing how he doesn't know anything about Ireland and make him feel bad, so that "We're Irish, let's talk about it!" can be... super awkward. Oh my god that wall of text though. I am so so sorry. I'll put TL;DR.

mineMissHellsing Very true, I’m born and raised in Sweden but my old man’s from New Zealand. Even though I consider NZ to be my 2nd home (i’ve been there many a times and even lived there for 7 months) i still have a hard time saying ”I’m a Kiwi” (at least without explaining my heritage. Unlike some Americans, as you said yourself, would proudly say they’re a Kiwi solong as grandad was born there.- the grandad would probably be scottish anyway haha

LOL

Lol

Who needs an oscar. He will be valued by real people regardless if you get a stupid oscar. I consider Oscars a burden. It puts you in a place whether you like it or not.

AND AN EMMY

Or he steaf

I wishhh

I agree with these people. Hitchcock never won an Oscar. And he'd been directing films since the silent era. They obviously didn't like him.

Yeah my god

No, they are just empty and blue.

Sim, demais!

They are like marbles

like sauron hiding in a cave

@Not Robot Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Sounds corny, I know, but a lot of people who are into guys are not that into the more 'generic' handsome guys like the ones you mentioned. And, looks aren't everything. Some people have a charm that is very attractive. That's why there's so many Cumberbitches, too.

There are a lot of great actors who are not big on doing interviews. Robert De Niro, Daniel Day Lewis, Jack Nicholson and the list goes on...

he was pretty fine on Craig Ferguson though, that tells you something ;)

BadBurrito That's absolutely true. This is not a slight on Stephen Colbert's interviewing skills but Craig Ferguson is on a different level when it comes to interviewing people. Cillian definitely talked more and was more comfortable in that interview.

I miss him :(

BadBurrito Same :(

I wanna flirt what's your @?

@@augustmclaren9 ke_v_n_

and music too

Whats w calling every actor shy just cos there not in character

@@n.s6463 I don't think they call every actor shy, but cillian actually is. You can tell that he is an introvert and has said he doesn't like the press, but obviously as an actor that's part of the job.

Yeah he is shy but Stephen is just not doing a good job, for fucks sake he asked an Irishman if he has Lucky Charms in Ireland...wow. I left a comment already telling people to watch Cillian's interview with Craig Ferguson and see the difference between a skilled interviewer versus a person talking about Trix cereal.

The only thing with the Craig F interview is that Craig's just being himself - and is able to relate to CM in terms of what they have in common, whereas Stephen always goes with what's different and a 'tell me about this thing I don't understand hahaha' persona. You can't expect Stephen to be Craig, I just wish he'd be himself a little bit more in the interview process. He does these amazing monologues then sits down and becomes a twit.

Jo Murphy yep for me Craig was the best talk host ever. He is so natural

Anastasia Edunova well what can I say he's Irish they don't like to talk up their success or big note themselves it's just their way very humble people I know this as I'm of Irish descent and my nan was like that she was first generation Irish Australian on her dad's side her mum was born here but her dad Patrick Kennedy was born in Tipperary in Ireland so for me cillian is just your typical humble Irish man I think he just accepts that as a working actor he has to do press to promote things but it's not his favourite thing but it's a necessary evil of the business

Antonio Jr yes he does better there because Craig does a better job of easing him into the interview than Stephen who does nothing to move this along !

This.

SuperChivasLover Agreed

And you can kind of pinpoint the moment where SC is just going "ah, screw it, let's just talk about the movie". Which he could have done far sooner since the movie looks really interesting and SC is never afraid of endorsing serious matters. Maybe he was still on the KMKey-high and didn't want to let the audience down. :D

Colbert messed this up completely, not for the first time, unfortunately. Instead of waiting one more second for a real answer (e.g., what kind of music he was playing), he kept rapid-firing silly questions, and Cillian, being polite (sometimes called "socially awkward" in the US), answered those.

Gabor Pete t

Great story, thanks for sharing. 🙏🏻

10000%

In most of these 'entertainment' interviews, the celebrities are hugely pretentious... to me, this is a breath of fresh air.

@@rang....-._.-....0. this

great actor. ❤ amazing job. on peaky blinders 😊😊😊😊

How is Tom Hardy underrated ? He's done amazing films and has an Oscar nomination...

murphy underrated yes, but lol everybody is obsessed with tom hardy he is far from underrated.

MyName IsRamen Thing is, everyone knows who the fuck someone like Will Smith or Leonardo DiCaprio is in all nations but not everyone knows who Tom Hardy is, in countires other than US and UK, let alone Cillian Murphy. I speak from experience since people in my country don't know who Tom is. They know him as "the guy who played Bane". Tom is still an underrated actor imo and deserves so much recognition. So does Cillian.

Sebastian Joseph Well it's completely different situations and senarions. Will Smith is 10 years older than Tom Hardy and Leonardo Dicaprio became famous in his late teens early 20s. Tom Hardy only "made" it after 33 (after Inception basically). Now Cillian Murphy is again a different senario. He has been much more selective in his career, has kept a very private life and is also a stage actor.

MyName IsRamen True that Cillian doesn't like to dwell in the fame and the glory but wish he was more recognized for the brilliant actor that he is.

I wouldn’t say he’s underrated really...

Habrid O'Young yeah lol he kinda sucked at giving open-ended questions lol

😂😂😂😂

this is gonna be me in viva exam🤣😂

Colbert is like the worst interviewer ever. And he’s just not even funny.. talking about the Lucky Charms leprechaun?? Seriously??

@@zachariahwhiton3948 he sounds alot like Murphy from Joker except a little less condescending

YellawayHD I feel ya. I feel the same when they bring on indian actors (I'm indian) and they blabber on about spicy food,bollywood,getting married etc.

@@champflowahbomb7630 lmao fr

giv cigrit pls. hell yah.

Lol. Try being southern. They ask you if you’re married to your brother, can you play the banjo and what’s it like growing up in a racist society. To which I say “bless your little heart”

Did I mention southern of Irish ancestry?

flic hahaha me too 😂😂😂

flic he's from Cork.

And now we can all listen to him talk forever and ever.

swahili

Despite being from cork he doesn't really have a cork accent, more of a neutral Irish/British non-specific accent

thomas shelby extroverted?🤔

@@bushrabonera not literally extroverted, man

Yeah man he is so shy but when it comes to acting he is a different guy

Introverts are usually very observant, so it’s not that shocking that he can pull off an extroverted character

Like Jim Parsons playing Sheldon Cooper

Destined FG - "da fook..."

An Sionnac they kinda are though,we just have different ones

Racial stereotypes makes everything taste better.

An, being Irish has nothing to do with race. Get off your high horse.

da fook is a trix rabbit seriously, also we can get lucky charms in dublin, certain shops import them from usa but €7 a box they can go an fook off

Maria Ziegler u re gorgeous

Thomas shelby is a fictional character.

Me too

@@leighjordine4031 We all are.

@@renatoh.santosdasilva3080 i guess you are right 👍

Also watch _28 Days Later_, great film and my God he is so fiiine in it.

NO NO NO.....I had a crush on Cillian. I am the ULTIMATE FAN. lol Man i miss seeing him in movies. lol Heck, I went on to read so many Red Eye Fanfics just because of him.

hyacinthdibley Lol maybe we can share him? You can have Rippner, I get Crane? 😀 My crush is 90% about Crane (yes just the fictional character... don't judge me) anyway, I only started paying attention to Cillian's career because I felt he did such justice to the character, even if I felt he was a bit too young for the role (he'd be utterly perfect now 😍). And I love Red Eye and 28 Days Later, and Sunshine too, such good movies! Fuck it, I like In Time too, even if he didn't have that much to do in it. I hate that I still haven't seen Breakfast on Pluto, I know it's amazing 😭 also Broken is super overlooked, the movie was heartbreaking and he was such a darling in it, made it kinda hard to watch 😞 Hopefully getting to see Dunkirk today or tomorrow, Nolan-Murphy combo is always perfection 😄😄😄

Sunshine

By the way I just came from Dunkirk. Holy shit. This is why I still watch movies. I was so into it I didn't even realize I had bought popcorn until end credits popped up. Everybody should see it, it's a real fucking experience that's really bad for your blood pressure. Plus Cillian Murphy and Tom Hardy

Lolol Cillian’s looks _are_ *killer*

That's perfect love it.

fucking seriously

Agreed

It was so cringe-worthy and he hardly gave him a second to speak. The writers are usually good but they were really lazy with the questions here. And Colbert is an improv guy! Maybe he really wanted to know about Cillian's Irish life!

Right and our country already gets such a bad rep for stereotyping

Ye this snippet is extremely awkward, a very poor start to an interview.

I can recognize him. He classy like in the movies.

Seriously bro... Seriously...

London is affectionally called London Town.

@@user-ky6vw5up9m Do you americans see the difference?

Cillian is from Cork, not Dublin but its Ireland so....

@@ThEWilliam105 Americans see London as England, England as Britain and Ireland as in Britain. So no, they see no difference to London and Ireland😂😂

curious george 😂

Christopher Nolan directed all except pesky blinders. He likes using the same actors

@@sydneyshaw607 and when they're as good as they are it's worth.

Check out Breakfast on Pluto You will see how far he can push his abilities. Its amazing

curious george You deserve a Dundie Award

That's because Stephen is a terrible interviewer.

killerkimm well Craig is also European so he obviously would not throw crazy stereotypes out at him.

Thanks!

Craig Ferguson is brillant.

Follow Keith what need for blame? Their accents are mesmerizing.

agreed

Follow Keith absolutely couldn't agree more. No other nationalities gets as much shit

its true lol. I honestly think its just because americans don't hear the irish accent that often, but have a fondness for it, so when they hear it they get excited.

When one sees how large the number is of Australian, Irish, British actors in American tv. Just assuming these are American actors. I look at using a different accent as a great skill, many hire speech coaches.

Yes he is a classic INTJ

yes! that is a very good interview

Craig Ferguson, when it comes to the art of the interview, was/is simply worlds above the current lineup of talk show hosts. He would be a great host of something like inside the actors studio. His intelligence makes him flexible, which usually is true for Colbert, but Craig couples said intelligence with a quick wit, an outsiders perspective (as a Scottish immigrant), and showmanship. He was the best.

Peter Soda totally agree!

Anne Escher I could go on and on about that guy. If I could pick any celebrity to hang out with, it'd be him.

Lool me too! xD I could feel that those conversations (his replies) could be from me the more I watched this

hes not introverted he was just done with the idiot interviewer who tried to claim he was irish while at the same time calling dublin a town. i think after the 3rd irish joke in 30 seconds he just mentally clocked out

The best actors disappear into the role.

Same with the french guests, unfortunately

@Roughman lol

yes, I recommend that one too!

Jedd Jong thank you!

Jedd Jong Yes like another actor I admire, Daniel Day-to-day Lewis.

True Jedd. Should have booked Harry Styles.

If u r in Hollywood you are in for publicity wether you like it or not

Jedd Jong I

TheLegend 27 it’s our capital damnnit

Emily M American you know ! I was like what ?

Smh

City

Cork is much more beautiful the city Cillian is from

Elizabeth R - I completely agree!

I agree with you, Elizabeth. I just think many RU-vid viewers have nothing original to say, so they just hop on the bashing bandwagon because it's all they know how to do.

Yeah.. I also don't get how it was awkward. I guess people are just silly and read way too much into things

I think so, too. Both people were great. I think the reason many people think it's awkward is because the conversation was more serious than most. Mr. Murphy is serious about his movie roles, and you can see that Colbert knows this. When they start talking about the movie, both people are really into the conversation. I wouldn't call it awkward at all.

speaking as someone who's not particularly a fan of Colbert I thought this was a solid interview, better than most of his. I gotta learn to stop trusting the clickbait articles that inflame indignation over some perceived cultural slight in an effort to draw in suckers like myself.

There is no glory in war... humanity at it's worst.

My granddad was there as well. On the other side. I know he hated it, but back then.. You had to fight, whether you identified with the cause or not. Crazy to know that that was just 2 generations ago. I hope history never repeats itself.

Incredible! We are the last to tell these stories of such incredible sacrifice suffering and bravery. So many of these men after the atrocities went home quietly to a normal life.

"Goals"??? Lol...how can someone reach that goal of the perfect jawline?😂

@@melisatapia332 his jawline is natural

​@@sahilk8616 oh i know Cillian's is natural, i just misunderstood their comment lmaoo

@Not Robot Yes it is 😂

Hayley Anne they just finished filming

Jessica Almaraz - Woohoo!!! Been waiting for what seems like 4eva to find out 'what happens next'...! 😉

I was hoping Stephen would ask him about Peaky Blinders instead of the Irish trivia.

Hayley Anne Or could just be his haircut,that haircut is really popular for lads in Ireland

DJ Khaled he actually really dislikes the "lice" haircut

Alex Dinan "I'm all Irish". Really mate? Cos you sound pretty American to me.

I agree, I wish Americans had more pride than to try to chum up with other nationalities.

Scott Border You wish Americans had more pride? Lol

seriously

You would understand us if you were in our shoes. We have no identity. It’s a divisive melting pot country and often we pride ourselves in our ethnic background in order to feel a part of something.

Organon the wind that shakes the barley is the one of the best but depressing films I’ve ever seen! didn’t really know what to do with myself when it was finished, just went to bed and stared at the ceiling for a while!

It is possible, if unlikely, that Stephen only knows of him from Peaky Blinders where his Birmingham accent is impeccable. 28 Days Later, and especially The Shaky Wind movie did sod all box office in the USA, so my guess is Stephen saw neither. In 28 Days Later the accent is there, but it is a South Dublin 'posh' Irish accent, one that is rarely heard in cinema, and would strike most Irish-Americans ears/minds as 'English'.

@@Norvik_-ug3ge I've heard faint hints that you can insult a Dubliner by calling their accent English, by other Irish. Maybe like the Welsh farmers painting 'Go Home English' on the house of a couple from Cardiff.
