After becoming a megastar in the likes of Inception, The Dark Knight Rises and Peaky Blinders, Cillian Murphy has won himself armies of fans across the world.

It’s therefore no surprise that fans have been keen to find out more about the star, including his height, age and bio.

Here’s everything you need to know about the Irish actor.

Cillian Murphy Height

Cillian Murphy’s height is 5”7- which is apparently pretty short by UK standards.

The average UK height for a man is 5”9.

This is something that tabloids and gossip columns have picked up on over the years.

According to The Mirror, Cillian Murphy is shorter than both Simon Cowell and Leonardo DiCaprio, who are 5”9 and 5”11 respectively. It clearly hasn’t been an issue for the actor though, who’s scored plenty of high-profile roles regardless.

For those of you keen on your astrology, Cillian Murphy’s birthday is 25^th May, which makes him a Gemini. Make of that what you will…

Cillian appeared as an unnamed army officer in the movie Dunkirk back in 2017, and for last year’s Manchester International Festival, Cillian co-wrote and starred in All of This Unreal Time, a short film which explores life’s failings.

Career

The actor started out having more of an interest in music than anything else.

While he was at school, he was busy forming a band with his brother called The Sons of Mr Green Genes, which they actually still perform in today.

Cillian and his brother Páidi eventually received an offer to sign with Acid Jazz Records, which they rejected.

The star began taking more of an interest in acting while at university, and appeared in a fair few plays at Cork Opera House. He then got an audition at Corcadorca Theatre Company for the play Disco Pigs, and the rest is history!

Cillian Murphy has starred in absolutely everything from 28 Days Later to Sunshine, and will be taking on the title role in the upcoming movie Oppenheimer with his old pal Christopher Nolan.

But it seems like the star hasn’t made peace with his fame just yet. If anything, he feels a bit embarrassed about it all.

In a rare interview with the press, Cillian said:

“I’m really lucky. I feel embarrassed by [fame] sometimes. I’m just a f*****g actor.

There are doctors and nurses and f****g people that work… I struggle with that. I mean, actors are overpaid, you know?

It’s nice when you get paid, when you’re young, and you’ve gone from having no money, but the Catholic guilt kicks in immediately, and I’m like ‘It’s all going to go wrong. You don’t deserve this’. And I don’t.”

He added:

“I just want to be decent and kind. They’re old-fashioned values, but they seem to be disappearing nowadays…

I never wanted to see my name over a title of a movie. None of that sh** ever entered my thinking, ever.”

Private Life

Cillian’s reluctance to fame is something that’s been noted by fans over the years.

He’s spoken out about his lack of interest in all things celebrity, and prefers to hang out with his wife, visual artist Yvonne McGuinness, and their two sons, Malachy and Aran.
