The nominee for his performance in the film “Oppenheimer» for Oscar and Bafta, Cillian Murphy (Cillian Murphy), a guest on BBC Radio 4’s ‘Desert Island Discs’, underlined that he would happily return to his role Thomas Shelby from the series “Peaky Blinders“, if given the chance.

“If there’s a further story to be told and if Steven Knight delivers a script like I know he can, then I’ll be there,” said the famous actor. “I mean, if we want to see 50-year-old Thomas Shelby, I’ll be there. Let’s do it”.

He also revealed to Lauren Laverne (Lauren Laverne) his first searches as musician something that almost came true when his band was offered a five-record deal, as reported by the Guardian.

But the parents of some band members disagreed, so Murphy chose her actingfirst securing a role in the film “Disco Pigs” in 2001 before landing his career-changing role in 2006.

“It profoundly changed the way I approached work,” the Irish actor said of Ken Loach’s Palme d’Or-winning The Wind That Shakes the Barley.

But the role that made him famous was Shelby in Knight’s epic TV series about them gangster of Birmingham.

“I wasn’t the obvious choice physically,” he confessed.

“I don’t know if I convinced Steven at the meeting, but apparently I sent him a text afterwards that said: ‘Remember, I’m an actor». And I believe this. I think it’s our duty as actors to transform into whatever the role demands,” he added.
