Robert Oppenheimer, the father of the first nuclear weapon, while Robert heads the notorious Manhattan project. Robert also spoke about why he chose this film after bidding farewell to the MCU as Iron Man. “Oppenheimer” is in theaters July 21.

    Seeing them together feels legendary. Robert is a class act and I love how humble Cillian is.
  • @Nancy-sf2pl
    Cillian is one of the only actors I can think of that has no haters and is so loved by fans. I have never seen anyone say something bad about him 👏
  • @mercelo6882
    The way RDJ looks at Cillian Murphy, there is a lot of admiration, respect and even feeling honoured to have been in a film with him. Like he cannot quite believe his eyes that he is there with him. Edited: 3k likes? I seldom comment on videos. Didn't even remember i had written this two weeks ago. Now some weeks have gone by, all the actors in that film have said how unbelievable they feel to have worked with Cillian. I love RDJ and Cillian, in any film. Cillian has a soft spot in my heart, just probably because we are similarly sensitive.

    Two of the greatest actors of our time, very humbling and respectful.

    This interviewer was fantastic. Very respectful, great questions and was quick but well spoken when it was his turn.
  • @CitizenoftheWorld1
    RDJ is the ultimate Avenger. From carrying literally the biggest movie franchise in history on his back to being a team player and promoting Cillian Murphy beautifully
  • @amyperaltiago
    Never seen Cillian sooo invested in an interview before...you can see how much passion he has for this film and the role, just love it! And ofcourse RDJ as expected is always amazing.
  • @100iloff
    I'm so happy that RDJ is in a quality movie again. He has much more talent than what was shown in his roles in the past few years. Just look at Chaplin.
  • @dasupertramp5855
    Love how Downey compliments and appreciates his fellow actors. Can't wait to watch him and Cillian play off of each other, it's going to be 🔥
  • @junayedalam6383
    I can feel and see in Robert Downey Jr. eyes that he is awed by Cillian Murphy's performence in Oppenheimer. Can't wait to watch it in cinemas.
  • @werdle92
    Cillian was unreal in the role. But RDJ was phenomenal too. Towards the end of the film, he showed probably the best acting of his entire career. It was fantastic
  • @Jaime.Lannister
    Bro, Cillian is the most underrated actor of all time. His performance in movies such as "The Wind that shakes the barley", Anthropoid and the rest of his works with Nolan just pours out all the talent he possess, not to mention the peaky blinders phenomenon. It's time to recognize the man's greatness and give his Oscar already. "BY THE ORDER OF THE PEAKY BLINDERS".
  • @phantom213
    Cillian is an extremely underrated actor. He is fantastic. I hope this movie gives him recognition and accolades he deserves.
  • @brkaz5864
    So great to hear the appreciation voiced by Downey regarding Cillian. Cillian such an overlooked actor deserving of any and all praise he receives especially from his fellow actors. To watch Cillian so animated and vocal about this project is thrilling coming from a man who is not enamored of interviews.
  • @richardrogers9599
    Just saw this film . Murphy’s performance was unbelievable! He deserves every bit of the praise he’s getting . Oscar worthy
  • @iancuspinera1160
    Cillian is a rare species, literally an actor who has played multiple types of movies and he’s bright in each one. I was a kid when Batman Begins came out, my first approach to DC was Justice League Unlimited and some of Batman TAS chapters, Scarecrow was iconic to me, and Cillian’s performance as Crane was TERRIFYING. Years later, another Nolan’s film, another great performance from Cillian’s, again, again and again. Bro has range. Oppenheimer should be the one to get him an Oscar, but I consider Cillian Murphy an actor who doesn’t need an award to be legendary.
  • @sineadmcl1985
    The most endearing thing is that Cillian doesn’t realize how good he is. Not only is he extremely talented but has model looks to go with it. A rarity. Can’t wait to see it!!
  • @skzanarchist
    Truly, so happy for the love Cillian is getting. He really deserves all the recognition
  • Looking at both of them side by side just gives you chills and a different vibe. The aura they give out, the class and the sass.
  • @jbpeltier
    "[Christopher] presupposes that his audiences are smart" The movie industry is as of late so profoundly starved for this particular quality. It can't be overstated. I am very excited for this film.
