Cillian Murphy is one of the most versatile and gripping performers working today. He’s an actor whose career, from the intensity and grit of Peaky Blinders to the cinematic scale and historic weight of Oppenheimer, is defined by a rare, understated cool.
On this episode of Track Star, Cillian met us outside on a sunny New York day and took us on a journey through the music that mirrors his own artistic DNA. We explore the avant-garde landscapes of Frank Zappa and The Velvet Underground. We chat about the ever soulful and poetic Van Morrison, and we touch on the youthful energy of Fontaines D.C. and the classic sounds of Thin Lizzy. Cillian also opens up about the exciting music choices that have helped define Peaky Blinders, and he shares some thoughts about the new Peaky Blinders film.
Enjoy the episode!
