Winning the Best Actor in a Lead Role in Drama for Peaky Blinders, Cillian Murphy has taken a forever place in fans’ hearts. He became the male alpha of television since he entered the show as a ruthless gangster, decked up in a classy suit. He entirely took over the fashionable look of a crime mafia with a peaked cap and fearless blue eyes.

However, Cillian has never embodied such an aggressive character before and viewers have seen him in easier roles in movies like Disco Pigs (2001). Moreover, in real life, he is a reserved person who likes to keep it simple even after being a Hollywood star. But with an actor like Murphy, fans can rarely keep calm, as they try to find his rare pictures. In one such old photo, he looked like one of his co-stars in Peaky Blinders.

A recent post shared on Reddit shocked fans as Murphy has a fancy hairstyle with hairs spread on his face in the shared image.
