There are only a few stars from the film industry that can make the kind of impact on the audience members that leave a lasting impression on their minds. Irish actor Cillian Murphy is one of those rare stars that capture your attention and interest and maintains it by delivering consistent doses of exceptional acting performance.
Thus, his sheer talent to bring any character to life through his performance is what makes him so desirable to work within the industry. And if you do not believe in the potential of this star, then there is no one better suited to tell you about the greatness of the star other than the legendary filmmaker Christopher Nolan himself, who is beyond impressed by his performance in the upcoming Oppenheimer.
Christopher Nolan Praises Cillian Murphy For His Excellent Performance In Oppenheimer

It comes as no surprise that Murphy’s biggest admirer is the Tenet director, considering that the two have collaborated on several different occasions in many of his films in the past. From The Dark Knight trilogy to Dunkirk, the duo have seen and observed each other to form a mutual bond of respect for each other’s talent. This has also been the case with their recent outing in their upcoming film Oppenheimer, for which Nolan cannot help but sing praises of the star. He said:
“In truth, there are just not that many actors that you could say, on a first-person approach, ‘Yeah, we’re going to be this guy for three hours.’ You’re making a demand of an actor that very few actors in the history of film can rise to. I will say that even with that confidence in him, he was continually surprising me on set every day. And when we got into the edit suite and were putting the performance together, and seeing the truth of it, I was absolutely blown away.”
Thus, with such high regard from such a reputable and talented director, it just goes to show how much potential Murphy possesses that is just waiting to be let out.
