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

Published by Daniella Wilson

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.

Before the ‘Love Story’ Finale, Those in Ryan Murphy’s Kennedy Universe Gathered for an Exclusive Toast

Sydney Lemmon Photographer Chantal Anderson When Grace Gummer, who plays Caroline Kennedy, saw Kelly from across the room, she ran to give him a long hug. The two have become close, from both filming the show and promoting it. The queen of the Murphy universe, Sarah Paulson, brought Murphy’s favored movement coach, Julia Crockett, to the dinner as her guest. Crockett worked with Pidgeon on Love Story. “We spent a week at the Hotel Roosevelt, walking down the hallways to perfect Carolyn’s walk,” said the coach. “There isn’t as much video of her as you think, so we had to really work on growing the character from the inside.” Paulson also worked with Crockett to create her version of Linda Tripp for the Impeachment season of American Crime Story. “I learned not to turn my head with my neck, but with my nose,” the Emmy winner said. “Linda was always sticking her nose in people’s business, so we decided her nose led her movements.” Source link

Rebecca Ferguson reveals why she studied Cillian Murphy’s sex scenes for Peaky Blinders film

Published by Daniella Wilson

Rebecca Ferguson has spoken about her approach to her intimate scenes in Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man. The Swedish actress, known for her roles in the Dune and Mission: Impossible series, joins the franchise for the feature film outing, playing the mysterious Kaulo Chirklo, the identical twin sister of Tommy Shelby’s former lover, Zelda, with whom he sired his eldest son, Erasmus “Duke” Shelby (Barry Keoghan). The film sees Tommy (Cillian Murphy) and Kaulo get very up close and personal, but with a rather interesting twist – but we won’t spoil more here… Speaking about working with intimacy coordinators, Ferguson told Michael Hodges in the upcoming issue of Radio Times magazine: “I think it’s wonderful that we can have intimacy coordinators and sometimes they are needed, but for me, it’s very off-putting and it makes me feel very uncomfortable because I have enormous boundaries and I can verbalise them. “So we could sit down and say, what do you need to feel safe? What do I need to feel safe? And then she could step …

Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette follows the whirlwind romance and high-profile relationship between the attorney and his publicist wife before their tragic deaths in 1999. Actor and activist Hannah, who was in an on-and-off relationship with Kennedy for about five years until 1994, has remained famously discreet about the relationship in the decades following his death. However, in a scathing guest essay for The New York Times, Hannah slammed Murphy’s characterization of her in Love Story, saying it “is not even a remotely accurate representation of my life, my conduct or my relationship with John. “Storytelling requires tension. It often requires an obstacle. But a real, living person is not a narrative device,” she wrote, suggesting that tearing down one woman to uplift …

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

Published by Sam Flores

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 …

Peaky Blinders’ Cillian Murphy’s condition for Tommy Shelby return

It wasn’t an easy sell to get Cillian Murphy to don his cap again and take back up the mantel of Tommy Shelby, by the sounds of it. But if anyone can get it done, it’s creator Steven Knight. Murphy, who first embodied the character he’s become synonymous with in the BBC TV series back in 2013, was confirmed to be reprising the role last year, months before filming began on the long-rumoured movie continuation, Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man. “It was pretty much from like 2019-2020 we’ve been talking about this and going through different versions of the script and working it and reworking and revising it,” Murphy told Deadline recently, ahead of the film’s release. However, it took more than just an invitation for him to agree to come back: the Oscar-winner felt the movie needed to “justify its existence” after what he thought was a perfect ending to season 6. “For me personally, I really felt that the film needed to justify its existence because I love the ambiguity of the ending …

The shrunken ambition of Ryan Murphy’s “Love Story”

The shrunken ambition of Ryan Murphy’s “Love Story”

Published by Sam Flores

For a time, John F. Kennedy Jr. was one of the most famous boys in America. He was three years old when a photographer captured him saluting his father’s casket, and for many years, that was how most of America pictured him. Until the 1990s, that is, when relentless tabloid coverage reinvented him as New York City’s Adonis. “Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette,” which stars newcomer Paul Anthony Kelly as JFK Jr. and Sarah Pidgeon as Carolyn, hangs its justification on that faint memory and his Cinderella-style courtship with Bessette. Next to exes like Madonna and Daryl Hannah, she was a commoner, a Calvin Klein stylist who somehow snared the heart of an American prince. After a courtship that unfurled in fits and starts, they married in 1996. Three years later, they died together in a plane crash. Given that these details are the extent of what most people know about the couple, one assumes “Love Story” has so much more to give. Since this is another Ryan Murphy product — …

Eddie Murphy’s family is growing! The Coming to America actor is set to become a grandfather again, with his son Eric Murphy expecting his first child with wife Jasmin Lawrence. The comedian, himself a father to ten children, is already a grandfather to granddaughters Evie and Zuri, his son Myles Murphy’s daughters with Carly Fink, plus his daughter Bria Murphy is also currently pregnant. Jasmin, who is actor Martin Lawrence’s daughter, and Eric took to Instagram to announce their pregnancy, sharing photos highlighting the soon-to-be first-time mom’s growing bump. The first of the photos is a black-and-white portrait that sees Eric tilting his head towards the bump, and the others see Jasmin in a form-fitting white ruched off-the-shoulder dress. “Thank you Jesus for the greatest gift,” she wrote in her caption alongside a string of red heart emojis, and fans were quick to take to the comments section under the post to congratulate them — and gush over the baby’s set of grandparents. © WireImageJasmine and Eric in June 2024 “Having Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence …

Why Ryan Murphy’s grotesque new Disney+ drama The Beauty isn’t for the weak

Why Ryan Murphy’s grotesque new Disney+ drama The Beauty isn’t for the weak

Published by Daniella Wilson

“Ah, that’s so disgusting!” exclaimed a horrified woman who was sitting next to me in Screen One of London’s Odeon Luxe West End on a rainy Friday evening. She was referring to the gooey, vein-stricken cocoon Jeremy Pope was dramatically hatching out of after having sex with a gorgeous, mysterious woman dressed in a foreboding, funeral-esque black lace.  His character, also named Jeremy, had been infected with an STD that promised to make him remarkably beautiful; however, it came with a detonating price tag – quite literally. This was the storyline that played out over the course of episode one of Ryan Murphy’s latest offering for Disney+, and if you are lost so far, don’t worry, you are not alone.  According to the FX show’s synopsis, the series’ plot plays out like this: “When international supermodels begin dying in gruesome and mysterious ways, two FBI agents are sent to Paris, Venice, Rome and New York to uncover the truth behind these deaths and end up discovering a conspiracy that threatens the future of humanity.”  If …
