Cillian Murphy is strutting back onto the red carpet like it’s nobody’s business, and it’s been six whole months since he snatched his first Oscar! Yes, you heard it right—Cillian, the guy who played Oppenheimer and made nuclear physics look like a thrilling soap opera, is back!
On October 24, this 48-year-old heartthrob graced the U.K. premiere of his latest film, Small Things Like These, at The Curzon Mayfair in London. Spoiler alert: he was not dressed as a scientist but as a man who’s totally comfortable with his fashion choices. Picture this: a tan suede blazer that says “I’m classy but I also enjoy a good Netflix binge,” paired with an olive V-neck shirt and dark pants that scream, “I didn’t try too hard, but here I am, looking fabulous!”
Cillian wasn’t alone in his stylish adventure; he was joined by the equally stunning Emily Watson and Eileen Walsh, proving that the real star power was the combined energy of their outfits.
This red carpet romp is Cillian’s first big shindig since he took home the Best Actor Oscar in March, leaving us all wondering if he has any plans to put that golden statuette to good use—like a doorstop or an extremely fancy paperweight.
Now, if you’re curious about Small Things Like These, here’s the scoop straight from the movie fairy godmothers: “Oscar® winner Cillian Murphy delivers a stunning performance as devoted father Bill Furlong in this film based on the best-selling novel of the same name by Claire Keegan. While working as a coal merchant to support his family, he discovers disturbing secrets kept by the local convent—because who doesn’t love a little drama with their coal?—and uncovers truths of his own that force him to confront his past and the Catholic Church’s secrets. It’s like The Real Housewives of Ireland, but with more coal and less yelling.”
Get ready, because Small Things Like These hits theaters in the U.K. and Ireland on November 1 and in the U.S. on November 8. Mark your calendars, it’s time for some serious drama wrapped in a cozy suede blazer!
