Kid Cudi’s tweet about his love for Oppenheimer actually wound up making its way to the film’s star Cillian Murphy. In a new video for People Magazine, the cast of last summer’s blockbuster, including Murphy, Emily Blunt, and Robert Downey Jr., reacted to posts people were making about it.
“Vision Pro is [fire emojis] gotta watch Oppenheimer on this baby,” Kid Cudi originally tweeted, which was among the ones included by the publication.
However, Murphy didn’t fully grasp that it was Cudi himself who posted it. He also was a little confused about what a Vision Pro was until Downey Jr. explained more about it. Blunt also couldn’t tell whether these were fire or crown emojis at first.
“It’s fire, fire, fire, fire,” Murphy read out loud with each added emoji, while Downey Jr. is bent over and dying of laughter.
Kid Cudi eventually saw Murphy’s recent reaction video with the cast, when a Murphy fan account tagged him, and truly thought it was the best. “Hell naw hahahaha this is so dope,” he reacted on social media. “We love Cillian over here all day!!”
Hell naw hahahaha this is so dope. We love Cillian over here all day!! https://t.co/T6BxjoeoTK
“The funny thing is i saw that video earlier and didnt even notice my name in the tweet or that I even said that,” he added. “I was just thinkin ‘yea that would be cool to watch that movie on the vision pro’ haha.”

Murphy’s journey to stardom began in the theaters of Ireland, where he honed his acting skills before transitioning to the screen. His breakout role came in 2002 with the psychological thriller 28 Days Later, directed by Danny Boyle. Murphy’s portrayal of Jim, a survivor in a post-apocalyptic world overrun by zombies, garnered critical acclaim and propelled him into the spotlight. His raw intensity and ability to convey complex emotions set him apart, earning him recognition as a rising talent in Hollywood.

In recent years, Murphy has continued to captivate audiences with his compelling performances across various genres. Oppenheimer, directed by acclaimed filmmaker Christopher Nolan, became a cultural phenomenon and a box-office smash. The film explores the life of J. Robert Oppenheimer, the physicist who played a pivotal role in the development of the atomic bomb during World War II. Murphy’s involvement in such a prestigious project underscores his status as a sought-after actor in the industry.
Another notable contribution to Murphy’s impressive filmography is his portrayal of Thomas Shelby in the hit television series Peaky Blinders. As the cunning and ambitious leader of a Birmingham-based gang, Murphy brings depth and complexity to the character, earning widespread acclaim from critics and viewers alike. The success of Peaky Blinders further solidifies Murphy’s reputation as one of the most talented actors of his generation.

Aside from his notable film and television roles, Murphy’s net worth is also influenced by various factors such as endorsements, investments, and real estate ventures. His endorsement deals with prestigious brands add to his financial portfolio, while smart investments in properties contribute to long-term wealth accumulation. Additionally, Murphy’s involvement in theater productions and voice acting projects expands his artistic repertoire and financial opportunities.
Conclusion
In conclusion, Cillian Murphy’s journey from a budding actor in Ireland to an international star is a testament to his dedication and talent. With an estimated net worth of $20 million in 2024, Murphy continues to thrive in an industry known for its unpredictability. Whether he’s portraying complex characters on screen or engaging audiences on stage, Murphy’s impact transcends borders and generations. As he continues to challenge himself with diverse roles and projects, one thing remains certain: Cillian Murphy’s worth extends far beyond his financial status.
The two biggest movies in theatres right now, Barbie and Oppenheimer, are drawing audiences in for very different reasons. The former is all about fashion, feminism, and a fantastic soundtrack. On the other hand, the latter is far more chilling (and sometimes scandalous) in nature. More specifically, lead actor Cillian Murphy’s sex scenes with co-star Florence Pugh are causing quite the stir. So much so, in fact, that they’re being censored with CGI while playing in select Asian markets.
“Those scenes were written deliberately,” the Irish performer told the Sydney Morning Herald recently. “He knew that those scenes would get the movie the rating that it got. And I think when you see it, it’s so f**king powerful,” Murphy added of director Christopher Nolan’s work. He went on to state that the intimate moments between the two actors aren’t “gratuitous,” but rather, “perfect.” Cillian also made it known that Pugh is “amazing,” even if certain countries refuse to show her naked body on screen.
According to Newsweek, both India and Indonesia are playing edited cuts of Oppenheimer in favour of more modesty. Bangladesh is also following suit as more backlash ensues for the creator’s decision to quote from the Bhagavad Gita while Oppenheimer and his mistress make love. “I am become death, destroyer of worlds,” Murphy’s character says in the film, a line the real-life nuclear bomb inventor previously recited when reflecting on his deathly work.
Whether you’re team Oppenheimer or Barbie – or among those who plan on seeing both – we can all agree that it’s refreshing to see the internet discussing something other than Lena The Plug and Jason Luv’s sex tape, or the constant drama between Blueface and Chrisean Rock. Nolan’s latest project is doing undeniably well at the box office, but still, it can’t quite beat what Greta Gerwig has managed to achieve with her new movie.
