Cillian Murphy<\/a> \u201cstill can\u2019t believe\u201d he won an Oscar.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
Cillian Murphy is still shocked by his Oscar win<\/p>\n
The 48-year-old actor won a string of accolades for his work on \u2018Oppenheimer\u2019, including the coveted Best Actor Academy Award and though he hasn\u2019t noticed any major impact on his career as a result, he\u2019s happy his increased profile will make it easier for the smaller films he is passionate about to get made.<\/p>\n
Asked if things have sunk in yet, he recently told Britain\u2019s HELLO! Magazine: \u201cNo, not at all. It\u2019s an honour, of course, but it\u2019s not something I\u2019ve thought about a lot since it happened.<\/p>\n
\u201cI went straight back to work afterwards, so I\u2019ve been busy.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt still feels weird. I look at it and still can\u2019t believe it.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cHas it changed anything? I\u2019m not sure \u2013 but if it helps get more films like [\u2018Small Things Like These\u2019] made, I\u2019m happy it happened.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nDespite the huge difference in scale between \u2018Oppenheimer\u2019 and \u2018Small Things Like These\u2019 \u2013 in which he plays devoted father Bill Furlong \u2013 Cillian insisted it isn\u2019t something he thinks about when taking a job.<\/p>\n
\nHe said: \u201cIt doesn\u2019t really make any difference to me.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cThe scale of a project is not something I pay much attention to when I\u2019m taking something on, even when we\u2019re filming.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cIf the story and the character interest me, I want to do it, regardless of the scale and the budget.<\/p>\n
\n\u201c\u2019Small Things Like These\u2019 first came to me in lockdown, well before \u2018Oppenheimer\u2019.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cBut this film might not have happened had it not been for \u2018Oppenheimer\u2019, because it was showing the script to Matt Damon that got the ball rolling for him and Ben Affleck to produce it.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nMeanwhile, Cillian will reprise his \u2018Peaky Blinders\u2019 role of Tommy Shelby in an upcoming spin-off movie and he\u2019s \u201cexcited\u201d for fans to see it.<\/p>\n
\nHe said: \u201cI\u2019m excited about it. It\u2019s a great script and we have an amazing cast and director.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cIt\u2019s going to be familiar to anyone who loves the show but it\u2019s also different \u2013 in a good way.\u201d<\/p>\n
