    "He is the worst celebrity in the world" ........And thank god for that.... He should be an example..

    What I love about Cillian Murphy is he is not arrogant like a lot of celebrities in Hollywood are. He has no ego, he is a quiet man and is incredibly humble and kind.

    Not able to handle a compliment….or as we call it, being Irish
  • @PaulGuy
    I've always felt that an actor who can turn it on and off is far more impressive than a "method" actor, who stays in character the whole time.
  • @ericwilson8558
    At first, I thought that Emily Blunt was talking negatively about Cillian Murphy. Now, I understand that she was complementing how extraordinary he is and that it's a shame that he doesn't see that in himself. Cillian truly is a legend.
  • @batubop651
    Love Cillian. But what a lovely friend he has in Emily, she’s clearly more comfortable in front of the camera for interviews than he is, and (I think at least!) being genuine with her comments. Great friendship there I gather. Lovely to see, they’ve always worked so well and naturally with one another, both great at their craft.
  • @stevemuzak8526
    We need more actors like Cillian Murphy or Daniel Day Lewis. Actors who stay away from the spotlights.
  • @Xxxxxrrr6464
    This was actually Cillian acting as Emily Blunt, great job
  • @rsolsjo
    Emily Blunt is so misplaced in 60 Minutes, haha. She's such a ray of sunshine, sarcastic, witty, full of life and energy and they're always going for this strangely self-serious quiet tone like they're doctors rather than interviewers. Very very odd to watch, but great answers from her.
  • @empireoflightz
    Love her saying "he turns it on and off, he's that good." I remember Christian Bale when asked about staying in character, as if it's some pretentious thing to do, humbly saying "I'm just not good enough an actor to be able to do it a different way." If Cillian can, that's really impressive.
  • @prahladsethi76
    60 minutes certainly knows when to release these clips 😂. Great timing 👍
  • @bulldogsforeva
    He, being a relatively minor star compared to his counterparts, came in to one of the most star-studded casts in history…. And was flawless. THAT is why he is getting the praise he is by his fellow cast mates. And deservedly so. He was remarkable.
  • @tomhighsmith
    You could see it years ago in the film "Breakfast on Pluto" that he would one day win an Oscar. Beautiful words from Emily.
  • @tedflanc1024
    This has got to be the best interview I’ve ever watched. The host is honest, direct, calm and serious. There’s no interruptions or overlapping on the conversations and he just lets Emily tell it it for what it is without loud sarcasm and humor!!!
  • @andrewpike1993
    Cillian Murphy is to films what Radiohead is to music. They shun the fame and celebrity culture and just quietly go about their business, turning in genius work after genius work…
  • Pity they didnt put this clip out before voting closed. Shes only telling the truth and stating the obvious- he is the best and miraculously has no ego about it.
  • @hughmungus_698
    I lived in Wapping between 2011-2013 and used to bump into Cillian as he was a regular at the same coffee shop I went to on my way to work ( this was before peaky blinders so he was famous but not a household name ) I spoke to him a handful of times just making small talk for a minute or two here and there, but he is so down to earth and had zero ego whatsoever by contrast I also had the misfortune of going to the same gym as Jeff Brazier (Z list celeb for those who don’t know) and what an absolute class a c**t! 😂
