Cillian Murphy’s non-negotiable advice he gives his 18-year-old actor son

Cillian Murphy is a stalwart of the acting world, having established himself as a safe pair of hands thanks to standout performances in Oppenheimer, Peaky Blinders, 28 Years Later and Steve. It’s perhaps unsurprising, then, that one of his sons has followed in his footsteps. Cillian shares two sons with his wife, Yvonne McGuinness, including 18-year-old Aran, who has already appeared in TV projects such as Lola and Klara and the Sun. Cillian’s son Aran is following in his father’s footsteps Speaking to press, including HELLO!, at the Oscar Wilde Awards in 2024, Cillian said of his son: “I’m very, very proud of him, he’s a great, great actor.” While the 49-year-old tends to keep his private life out of the spotlight, he has opened up about the non-negotiable advice he has stuck to throughout his career – and what he now passes on to Aran as he navigates the industry.

Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man Is Cillian Murphy’s Epic Return As Tommy Shelby

Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man Is Cillian Murphy’s Epic Return As Tommy Shelby

Tommy Shelby is finally back on our screens after four years away. The long-awaited Peaky Blinders film, The Immortal Man, is in select cinemas now (ahead of its arrival on Netflix on 20 March), and it ushers in a new chapter in the Shelby clan’s story. As a long-time fan of the show, I had been a little worried that a movie may not have the same magic as the show did. But boy, was I wrong. Steven Knight has created something incredibly special with this film. It’s everything that a fan of the show could want it to be, and even more. Personally, I’d give it five stars. After all, is there anything more iconic than seeing Tommy Shelby back in his baker boy cap? I think not. The Immortal Man marks a new era for the Peaky Blinders It all starts in Birmingham in 1940. The characters are in the midst of the Second World War, and the Peaky Blinders are working on one of their biggest plots yet, when chaos ensues. Barry …

Barry Keoghan Finally Reveals Peaky Blinders Film Role

Ever since news of a Peaky Blinders film dropped back in the summer of 2024, fans have been speculating about how the cast of old faces and new names would weave together. One of the most intriguing additions to the line-up was Barry Keoghan, and with the trailer for the movie debuting on Thursday, he’s also shared some key details about what role his character will play. It’s been confirmed that Barry will play Duke, the estranged son of Cillian Murphy’s character, Tommy Shelby – and in his dad’s absence, Duke has become the new leader of the Peaky Blinders gang. Meanwhile, if the new trailer is anything to go by – with Duke going as far as considering committing treason to help the Germans win the war – his presence is going to cause something of a ruckus. In a new interview, Barry told Empire that his character is “troubled” and “up to no good” when we meet him in the movie. “That’s a boy, just looking for his father,” the Oscar nominee claimed. …
