Cillian Murphy, known for his role as Tommy Shelby in the popular Netflix series Peaky Blinders, was recently spotted looking quite different as he prepares for his upcoming role. The 48-year-old actor showed off his toned physique while training for the much-anticipated Peaky Blinders film in Dublin. Sporting a grey t-shirt that highlighted his bulging muscles, Cillian arrived at the gym with another man, both dressed in workout gear.
Fans are eagerly awaiting the release of the Peaky Blinders film, although an official date has not been announced yet. Cillian expressed his excitement for reprising his role as Tommy Shelby, stating, "It seems like Tommy Shelby wasn't finished with me." He also mentioned his gratification for working with writer Steven Knight and director Tom Harper again, adding, "This is one for the fans."
Looking ripped in his workout attire, Cillian seemed miles away from his recent role as J. Robert Oppenheimer in the award-winning biopic Oppenheimer. The Dark Knight actor had lost a considerable amount of weight to portray the scientist responsible for developing the first nuclear weapons. His co-stars even noted how "emaciated" he looked while filming.
In a recent interview on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Cillian shared his experience of losing weight for the role, stating that he did not enjoy any of it and does not recommend it. "I didn't enjoy any of it. I don't recommend any of it," he said. The film does not yet have a release date, but fans can expect to see Cillian alongside Dune actress Rebecca Ferguson and Saltburn star Barry Keoghan in the star-studded cast.
Despite his transformation for Oppenheimer, Cillian seems to have regained his muscular physique for the Peaky Blinders film. However, this is not the first time he has drastically changed his appearance for a role. The actor also lost a great deal of weight for his role in the 28 Days Later sequel, 28 Years Later, where he will be working with director Danny Boyle and writer Alex Garland.
In discussing his weight loss for Oppenheimer, Cillian revealed that he found it difficult to deal with the constant hunger and cold temperatures on set. "I think it's going to bed hungry. I wouldn't do that by choice. It was always cold," he shared. However, director Christopher Nolan's decision to keep the A/C on during filming actually helped with his performance. "I think because the character is being humiliated and he feels awful, and I was so hungry and so cold, it kind of helped," Cillian explained.
With his upcoming projects and transformations, it's clear that Cillian is dedicated to his craft. Fans can't wait to see him reprise his iconic role as Tommy Shelby in the Peaky Blinders film and take on new roles in the future.
