Cillian Murphy, the Irish actor renowned for his hauntingly creative performances, earned the esteemed title of Christopher Nolan&#8217;s favorite, a rare accolade. Despite holding Hollywood in his thrall, he remained a man of mystery, shunning the flashy allure of social media and red carpet extravagance, a testament to his humble roots. Even after delivering a cinematic masterpiece like Oppenheimer, Murphy continued to stand firm on solid ground.
In his recent interview, he candidly regarded himself as unworthy of accolades. Moreover, Murphy only added another layer to his charm, further underscoring his avoidance of the glittering trappings of stardom.
<h2>Modesty shines through stardom for Murphy</h2>
In the entertainment realm, many actors have industry figures they admire, often from their own field. Travis Scott, for instance, looks up to <a href="https://www.netflixjunkie.com/tag/kanye-west">Kanye West</a> as his idol. Yet, Murphy, despite having his acting heroes, discovered a unique wellspring of inspiration in musicians. The Oppenheimer star drew guidance from the world of music, using it as a compass to navigate his craft and maintain a grounded spirit. Murphy lives by a creed of staying true to his roots and never losing sight of his beginnings.

He firmly believes that musicians excel at embracing humility. When pressed to name a musician who exemplifies this, the actor chuckled and deflected the question.<a href="https://www.irishtimes.com/culture/music/2023/11/04/cillian-murphy-people-in-ireland-are-kinder-and-more-understanding-and-a-bit-more-copped-on/#:~:text=You%20just%20want,I%E2%80%99m%20not%20worthy.%E2%80%9D" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> During an interview with The Irish Times, Murphy remarked,</a> &#8220;I knew you were going to ask me that. I would never even put myself in the same sentence as them. I genuinely find it awkward because someone will make a headline of it. And I&#8217;m not worthy&#8221;. His self-effacing demeanor continues to be a cornerstone of his persona.

As the buzz surrounding his Oscar nomination for Oppenheimer swirled among fans, it only deepened their appreciation for the actor, who defies the conventional trappings of stardom with his modesty.

Certain fans were so fervent about his nomination and potential victory that they cried foul and accused the Oscars of being rigged if it did not come to pass. Their unwavering devotion to Murphy&#8217;s talent knew no bounds.

Murphy&#8217;s exceptional acting had left fans in awe throughout the year, and some were downright flabbergasted that he had not received an Oscar yet.

From <a href="https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/peaky-blinders/">Peaky Blinders</a> to Inception and Oppenheimer, Murphy consistently served up masterclass performances. Yet, he remained as humble as ever, and that is his signature style, much like the acting brilliance he consistently brought to the screen. More so, it is only fitting that the elusive golden Oscar silhouette should now find a cherished place on his shelves.
