Domhnall Gleeson says he struggled to take Cillian Murphy’s praise
- Irish actor Domhnall Gleeson has admitted to feeling both touched and embarrassed when praised by his acting hero Cillian Murphy during an appearance on The Graham Norton Show.
- Murphy had praised Gleeson’s “magnetic” performance in the Martin McDonagh play The Lieutenant of Inishmore during the chat show’s broadcast.
- Gleeson explained that while Irish people are often not very good at handling compliments, Murphy’s words meant a huge amount to him.
- The chat show appearance led to Taylor Swift recruiting the entire guest lineup, including Gleeson and Murphy, to star in her music video for “Opalite”.
- Swift revealed the concept for the music video was inspired by a light-hearted joke Gleeson made during their joint interview.
