Cillian Murphy has won the award for Best Actor for his role in Oppenheimer during the Screen Actors Guild Awards.While accepting his award, the Cork native touched on his past career choices, candidly mentioning his past as a "failed musician.""Twenty-eight years ago when I was trying to become an actor, I was a failed musician and I felt extremely like an interloper," he said.
"Okay, my Oppenheimer crew, my Oppenheimer family,” he said, adding: “Just an FYI on that exquisite moniker 'Oppenhomies.'" "I have never felt so looked after or cared for by a group of actors every day. Looking at your names on the call sheet, just made me brave guys. So thank you. Thank you. Thank you,"
“I’ll have my wife and my kids with me, and that’s been lovely… and you’d be an eejit not to enjoy it, just go with it, that’s my attitude," he told Lauren Laverne on BBC Radio 4’s Desert Island Discs.
