Cillian Murphy FoundPeaky BlindersSet Very Intense
Cillian Murphy and Tom Hardy may have developed great chemistry together over the years but BBC’s gang dramaPeaky Blindersproved to be a tough challenge for theOppenheimerstar despite his rapport with the cast that included Hardy. Murphy who played the dangerous criminal Thomas Shelby, impressed viewers worldwide for his performance and his interaction with the ensemble cast but revealed that the situation was not the same once the cameras were turned off. Speaking of the reasons behind not being able to hang out with his colleagues or crew members outside of the set, Murphy toldVariety,
“Because it is such an intense shoot due to the nature of the material, and because we are working about 16 hours a day for about five months, we don’t tend to hang out socially when we aren’t shooting. I think that’s only because we see so much of each other when we work, but it has been a very collaborative journey and I’ve learned a huge amount.”
The Irish actor also spoke about the restrictions that the ensemble faced while shooting during lockdown with masks and other precautions which made it even more difficult to form a bond with the cast and crew on set.
