Cillian Murphy seems unrecognizable after losing a lot of weight: ‘I don’t recommend it.’

 

Although he made some sacrifices to get there, Cillian Murphy is receiving excellent praise for his significant role in Christopher Nolan’s most recent film, Oppenheimer.

The 47-year-old underwent a drastic transformation for the part, going to great lengths to play J, and lost so much weight that his co-star Emily Blunt called him “emaciated.”. Robert Oppenheimer, referred to as the “father of the atomic bomb. ”.

“He had such a big task. The actress who portrays biologist Kitty Oppenheimer, Cillian’s on-screen wife, told Extra in a recent interview that her on-screen husband was only allowed to consume one almond per day.

 

Cillian would avoid joining the cast for meals due to his strict diet, the duo revealed in a separate interview with Matt Damon, who plays Leslie Groves, the director of the Manhattan Project.

“We invited Cillian to dinner every night, but he never showed up. Matt told Entertainment Tonight that Cillian “just didn’t eat dinner, ever, because he was losing so much weight for the role. Emily added that Cillian only needed one almond or a small piece of fruit most nights to get by. ”.

 

Furthermore, Cillian has been candid about the “overwhelming” lengths he took to defend Oppenheimer, who he said depended on cigarettes and alcohol for survival. I love acting with my body, and Oppenheimer had a very distinct physicality and silhouette, which I wanted to capture accurately, he said in a May interview with the New York Times.

He was very thin, almost emaciated, and subsisted on martinis and cigarettes, so “I had to lose quite a bit of weight, and we worked with the costume and tailoring,” he remarked.

 

The Peaky Blinders actor admitted that his character Oppenheimer’s job was so demanding that he didn’t have time to think about his lack of nutrition, despite his unhealthy approach to character development. “You’re riding a [expletive] bombing train. Bang, bang, bang, bang is what you can hear. You go to sleep for a few hours, then you wake up and bang it once more,” he told The Guardian.

It was appropriate given the character’s nature because “I was running on wild energy; I crossed a level where I wasn’t concerned about food or anything.”.
He never felt peckish.
”.

 

Cillian has chosen to keep quiet about how much weight he lost for the role and does not advocate for others to adopt his extreme weight loss techniques. He told the website, “I don’t want it to be, ‘Cillian lost x amount of weight for the part.

You develop a little unhealthy self-competition, he continued. “I don’t suggest it. ”.

Based on Kai Bird and Martin J.’s book of the same name, Oppenheimer, which hits theaters this coming Friday. The biography by Sherwin, American Prometheus: The Triumph and Tragedy of J. The 2005 book Robert Oppenheimer was released.

 

It talks about Oppenheimer’s life (1904–1967), his attempts to build the atomic bomb during World War II, and his mental anguish as he dealt with “the moral consequences of scientific progress. ”.
