Jamie Dornan Playfully Mocks Co-Star Cillian Murphy’s Discomfort During Interviews
Jamie Dornan, star of the BBC series ‘The Tourist’, has humorously poked fun at his ‘Anthropoid’ co-star Cillian Murphy, teasing him about his discomfort during press interviews. The actor expressed his admiration for Murphy, predicting that the talented actor would win an Oscar in the upcoming year. However, Dornan jokingly stated that he would not be casting his vote for Murphy. The two actors have formed a close bond and are eager to collaborate on future projects.
During an interview with GQ UK, Dornan spoke about the viral press interviews he and Murphy conducted for their film ‘Anthropoid’. He highlighted Murphy’s unease during these encounters, revealing his own enjoyment in playing on that discomfort. Despite their contrasting approaches to press engagements, the pair’s professional relationship remains strong, and they both express a desire to work together again.
Cillian and I have a great rapport, and we have come close to working together on a few occasions, Dornan shared. I hold him in high regard, and I have a feeling he will undoubtedly win an Academy Award. Though I won’t be casting my vote for him, I’m thrilled for his success. We’re both keen to collaborate again; we’re very close. I find it amusing because he tends to feel uneasy during interviews, and I love teasing him about it.
Murphy recently portrayed the character of J. Robert Oppenheimer in Christopher Nolan’s blockbuster hit, earning critical acclaim and positioning himself as a potential frontrunner for the prestigious Academy Awards.
In ‘The Tourist’, Dornan takes on the role of Elliot Stanley, a character who wakes up in Australia with no memory of his identity. Filming for the show’s second season took place in Dublin, Ireland, which holds a special place in Dornan’s heart as it is only a few hours away from his hometown of Belfast.
Shooting the second season in Dublin was a fantastic experience, and it reminded me of just how much I love being there, Dornan expressed. Being surrounded by Irish people brings me sincere comfort. It’s a genuine pleasure for me.
As the second season of ‘The Tourist’ continues to captivate audiences, Dornan’s playful banter with fellow actor Cillian Murphy adds an extra layer of intrigue to their on-screen performances. With their shared talent and undeniable chemistry, fans eagerly await their next collaboration.
The humorous dynamic between Dornan and Murphy is just one element that makes their work together both entertaining and unforgettable. As the year progresses, movie enthusiasts will eagerly watch to see if Murphy’s exceptional performances lead him to claim the coveted Oscar.
