Years Before Doing ‘Oppenheimer’ With Emily Blunt, Cillian Murphy Was “Embarrassed” to Write an Email to Her Husband John Krasinski

Cillian Murphy and Emily Blunt are undoubtedly an incredible acting duo. A recent proof of this is the blockbuster film Oppenheimer, where both the actors starred in pivotal roles. In addition to being an incredible pair on-screen, Blunt and Murphy also share a great bond in real life. However, despite knowing each other for years, Murphy had a tough time writing an email to Blunt’s husband, John Krasinski. John Krasinski and Cillian Murphy worked together in the popular horror film A Quiet Place II back in 2020. However, before that, even though they were aware of each other’s works, the duo had never collaborated. And interestingly, the Irish actor once struggled to praise Krasinski for his work due to a peculiar reason. WHY CILLIAN MURPHY HAD A TOUGH TIME WRITING AN EMAIL TO JOHN KRASINSKI Released in 2018, A Quiet Place was a massive hit among the fans. The film was a huge success and gathered positive reviews worldwide. Among the many fans who loved the John Krasinski starrer was Cillian Murphy. Owing to Krasinski’s incredible performance in the film, Murphy was all praises for the actor. The Irish icon even decided to write a congratulations email to the director after watching the first installment, A Quiet Place. However, as surprising as it sounds, despite writing an email to appreciate the director, the actor never sent it. In an interview with The Guardian [https://www.theguardian.com/film/2021/may/28/peaky-blinders-cillian-murphy-i-was-in-awe-of-how-helen-mccrory-lived-her-life], Murphy revealed he was “not bold enough” to send the email. Moreover, the actor admitted, “I got a bit embarrassed,” before revealing that he felt, “He’s going to think I want something.” Even though Murphy never sent the email, John and his wife already had plans to cast him in the film’s sequel. Interestingly, the duo were in awe of the actor’s performance in Peaky Blinders as Thomas Shelby.
