On the latest episode of The Graham Norton Show, viewers were treated to a surprise appearance from Cillian Murphy's teenage son. The Irish actor, who was there to promote his new film Steve, sat next to pop star Taylor Swift on the iconic orange couch and engaged in some entertaining banter with the host.
While discussing his family, Cillian mentioned that Taylor had previously met his sons at a party, where they all hit it off. Taylor praised his sons, saying that they were "the future of our world" and that she was impressed by their conversational skills and genuine interest in others.
The conversation then turned to Cillian's son Aran, who was in the audience. The camera panned to the 18-year-old, who bore a striking resemblance to his famous father. Taylor excitedly pointed him out, exclaiming, "Oh, he's right there, you can tell!" Graham jokingly added, "He is so Cillian Murphy's child. We all just won a prize if this was a game show!"
Cillian shares two sons, Malachy and Aran, with his wife Yvonne McGuinness. The couple first met at one of Cillian's band's shows in 1996 and have been together ever since. In 2005, they welcomed their first son Malachy, followed by Aran in 2007. Both boys are following in their father's footsteps and pursuing acting careers, but they prefer to stay out of the limelight and only make rare appearances at red carpet events.
Aran's acting talent has already been recognized by others, with Cillian's friend even jokingly telling him that his son is "better looking, a better actor, younger, and taller" than him. Cillian, however, is not worried and believes that his son will be judged solely on his talent rather than his famous last name. In an interview, Cillian revealed that Aran will be making his acting debut in an adaptation of Kazuo Ishiguro's novel, directed by Taika Waititi.
But Cillian and Yvonne are not putting any pressure on their son and are supportive of whatever career path he chooses. As Cillian puts it, "If he decides to become a musician, a poet, a farmer, or a chef, that's up to him." With his parents' love and support, Aran is sure to shine in whatever path he chooses.
