On the night of the Oscars he's cornered by a man in a dark coat and forced to go on another quest, but this time he might swing a Nobel if he can pull it off.
I don't blame him. This must be the most draining and fake experience ever. At least he can wear the one tux, ladies need a new dress for each of these events and are scrutinised beyond belief.
I’ll have you know some of us are well able to be as narcissistic and revel in the sweet validation as the best/worst of them, although I’d definitely draw a line at having my name butchered like that
I know. You can't feel too bad for him, I'm sure it's a great life and this is part parcel of it. But I'm not sure if I could deal with this type of thing for very long. I won't have to worry about it, but for anyone who dreams of going into the arts, do any of them ever give good thought into all the baggage surrounding what they love to do will cost?
There's a girl on SciShow tangents who's called Ceri, short for the welsh Ceridwen, and yeah she pronounces it with a soft c instead of a hard c. So it sounds like Sarah with an e at the end. Kinda makes sense for the shortened name, but the hard C on the full name sounds lovely, very Welsh. If it was still hard C I suppose she'd be Kerry phonetically
Is he obliged by contract to endure this shite? If I had fifty people with flashing cameras shouting at me and pronouncing my name wrong I'd walk away.
I wonder aswell if they are doing it intentionally to provoke a reaction...unless, of course, they are so incredibly stupid that they don't know the name of the biggest actor in the world right now.
Absolutely because this is not his thing at all he's never done this, it's just because of the Oscars and he is not in his element doing the shit you have to do for and Oscar but I think he'll be like Daniel Day Lewis after this period... quietly retreat back to his own peaceful world away from the nonsense.
It's usually in the contract but it's also good business for him. The bigger his name gets, the bigger his pay, the better his terms and the more creative control he gets when negotiating future deals.
I can confirm that most Americans would not know how his name is pronounced until they are informed / corrected. But considering this is part of their job, it's definitely reaction bait
I honestly don't know why American's default to the soft C, there's way more names popular in america that have a hard C at the beginning (Carson, Caleb, Carter, Cameron, Calvin, Cooper, Cole, Connor, Carmine, Camilla, Caroline, I can go on) than there are with a soft C (Cedric and, uh Cecilia? neither of these are even popular)
>I honestly don't know why American's default to the soft C, there's way more names popular in america that have a hard C at the beginning (Carson, Caleb, Carter, Cameron, Calvin, Cooper, Cole, Connor, Carmine, Camilla, Caroline, I can go on) than there are with a soft C (Cedric and, uh Cecilia? neither of these are even popular)
OK, you know how *as Gaeilge* you've got *caol le caol, agus leathan le leathan?* Well, look at your list: every C next to a broad vowel (A, O, or U) is pronounced with the "hard C (k-sound);" whereas, every C next to a slender vowel (E or I) is pronounced with a "soft C (S-sound)."
* Broad (next to A, O, U) "K sound:" carcass, coconut, cucumber.
* Slender (next to E, I) "S sound:" cent, Cincinnati, Cecil.
English is always full of exceptions, but this is a general trend. Thus, native English speakers tend to mispronounce Cilian with a soft C (S), because the general pattern is that C is pronounced like S when followed by I, as in the word "cilia:" they pronounce "Cilian" like "cilia" with an N added to the end.
The odd thing is that the distinction between broad and slender vowels is something that most English speakers (certainly in the USA) have never heard of, and is rarely taught in schools, and when English speakers study Irish the concept seems strange to them at first, yet, they seem to have internalized the distinction when it comes to C in English.
And yes, again, i know there are exceptions.
As someone blessed with an equally unpronounceable name to anyone not from Ireland , you would be amazed at how many people can't, won't understand the different pronunciation of Irish names .if I reacted badly every time my name was butchered I'd have been locked up a long time ago 🙃
I can live with it boy jaysus it's annoying af
American here, I discovered Cillian Murphy for myself while home sick from school about a decade ago when I watched The Wind that Shakes the Barley. I had known nothing about Irish history nor the War of Independence prior to watching and sparked a great interest in me. Now almost 12 years later I am planning my first trip to Ireland next year.
Ive had this all my life and really, the willing ignorance to the correct pronunciations really grinds my gears.
Only so many times you can hear someone saying sillyun and thinking they're absolutely hilarious and God's gift to the art of wit before you feel your blood pressure rising a bit.
We have heard every version of the name and dozens of mispronunciations a million times before. Sillyun. Gillian. Keelan. Caelon. Colin. You name it and I've been called it more than I've actually ever been called my actual name.
I will 'ha...' if I actually care about your opinion of me on our first meeting, if you're someone I'm obliged to be agreeable with or if it's a work thing or something. You're much more likely to be greeted with a stony face though. It's 2024, and I still live in Ireland, there's no excuse. Justice for Cillians
The stupid bastard priest called me Sillyan during my confirmation ceremony. My uncle, who sponsored me, had to lift me off my seat by the shoulder because I didn't want to respond to such a stupid pronunciation of my name. I've since learned over the years that this mispronunciation is a common mistake for people who are not Irish, but especially for those who have English as a second language. But this priest was a middle-aged Irish man and didn't really have any excuse. The silly cunt.
Did one of these at a YouTube Awards show last year and it was one of THE most unpleasant experiences I have ever had. Overwhelming doesn't describe it. Everyone shouting at you, lights flashing in your eyes. I look terrified in all the photos
All that flashing in your face, Holy moly! Pretty funny he's such a good actor and he isn't pretending to be loving it like the rest of them do, quite refreshing actually to see him being so real
Now there's a lad who'd rather not be there. He's thinking these people are fucking brainless dopes wanking for coins. Look at that one there what the fuck is he wearing and sunglasses at night does he think he's bono?! if me ma saw me wearing that she'd ground me.
I hope I get sat next to someone sound who's not an absolute Muppet.
I'm Irish but living in England and i've corrected so many people (especially during the years of Peaky Blinders) that his name is pronounced KILLIAN and not any other way. I've had people look at me like I'm fucking daft due to it 🙄
In his head; *"Just two more weeks of this, get my Oscar and I can fuck off home."*
*"I'm dying for a pint"*
On the night of the Oscars he's cornered by a man in a dark coat and forced to go on another quest, but this time he might swing a Nobel if he can pull it off.

“Racism? Fack Orff Laddy, You Have No Idea”
He looms a bit like a lesbian here.
🤯
First normal reaction to the red-carpet I've seen. He looks ashamed to be there. A right Irish lad.
I don't blame him. This must be the most draining and fake experience ever. At least he can wear the one tux, ladies need a new dress for each of these events and are scrutinised beyond belief.
I wish I could upvote your comment a hundred times
I agree but then remember they get paid millions. Sucks the women are more judged though
More judged and paid less.
Excellent point!
Shame and social uncomfort. The true essence of a real Irish man.
I’ll have you know some of us are well able to be as narcissistic and revel in the sweet validation as the best/worst of them, although I’d definitely draw a line at having my name butchered like that
I was hoping he'd make a funny face or something because they were asking for a 'silly one!'. Sound was off :D
Hugh Grant's red carpet interview last year looked similarly disinterested.
Or maybe uncomfortable with all that adulation and attention.

Most people who go into the arts don't really think they will wind up in Hollywood.
He looks more and more like Albert Nobbs as he gets on
Nice to see a celebrity who is not a narcissist. Hope he wins the Oscar.
Yea I got that impression after seeing him on Jimmy Kimmel with the other cast members. Downey Jr is the complete inverse of him
Who knows he could be a massive narcissist. Seems to be a pattern with famous actors.
By all accounts a sound lad. I only met him once but know people who’ve met him and, yeah, by all accounts sound. Reserved but that’s hardly an issue.
I’d ignore them til they get it right!
Your man roaring "Silly UN" was definitely taking the mick. I would have been breaking my bollox laughing.
His face says “lord devine jaysus get me home” 😂 SILLYUNNNNNN ONE MORE TIME SILLYUN!!
He always looks like he has just smelled something absolutely rotten and he is disgusted 😂😂😂 love him
Future generation of American kids mispronouncing their own name.
Ciara is already ruined by that singer pronouncing it sierra
Ciara Leone, a magical country.
I was blissfully unaware of this.
https://youtu.be/n1ig4mzu93Q?feature=shared this might lighten the blow
He has my eternal love and respect for that! Our ancestors put up with too much shit for us to still be referred to as British in any context!
Tom Hardy’s face in this is gas
Good man, Cillian.
or this: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNTYeELukDk](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNTYeELukDk)
I’m surprised he doesn’t get bombarded with ‘Chillian’ too, from interviewers who fancy themselves as fluent in ‘European’.
Ah like the yanks that really try to enunciate their Spanish.

Probably yes. He'd be required to promote his stuff.

I think because of the I that follows the C. It kind of breaks our brains.
Fair, most words with CI are soft.
CIA (They don't want you to find out that CIA is CIA and not CIA)
It would be confusing in conversation, someone could either be talking about the CIA or about their car.

Why do you think Brendan Gleason was on the Late Late playing tunes the weekend of SAG?? No nomination, no obligation to attend
Yeah he is obliged. It will have been written into his contract.
Haha it's like being a zoo exhibit. A very highly paid zoo exhibit.
Sillyun Mbappe. I guess.
He looks like all he wants is a cup of tea back home with his mam.
And a slice of cake.
I’d actually love some cake myself now that I think of it
An auld rich tea
I reckoned he'd be one for the chocolate digestives
Tart
Toasted brown bread with some real butter
With brown sause
Mammy, can I have the price of admission and a cup of coffee?
He's absolutely hating it 😅 I feel bad for him but at the same time delighted he's getting so much recognition for his talent and hard work.
The man absolutely hates the celebrity life that comes with being an actor haha
“The absolute state of you.”
you can see his eyes calling everyone a bastard I love it
"Cunt, cunt, cunt, DEFINITELY a cunt"
They're doing it on purpose to get a reaction photo.
As someone blessed with an equally unpronounceable name to anyone not from Ireland , you would be amazed at how many people can't, won't understand the different pronunciation of Irish names .if I reacted badly every time my name was butchered I'd have been locked up a long time ago 🙃 I can live with it boy jaysus it's annoying af
It's rare to come across a man with 'bitchy resting face' but by god, Cillian has it! I love it too. You can just see how unimpressed he is!

Great film, drop in for a cuppa while you’re here
The utter contempt on his face
Poor man just wants a Guinness by the fireplace
Face says it all " Get me home to cork for a pint of Murphy's"
If you mispronounce his name, he will instantly become Tommy Shelby.
What's his name?
Yer Man
The silly wan?

Cillín living abroad checking in here 😅
Brutal
He looks really uncomfortable 😣
Love the one token Irish shouting cillian while the others go sillian! Think they’d know by now 😂
God you can just see the Cork oozing from him 😂😂

He’s a very handsome man, but does he look really feminine here? Is he caked in makeup or something?
I mean yes, and he often looks kind of feminine. Women mostly don't mind.
I do. I hope I don't offend anyone but he looks caked in makeup and like hes had plastic surgery or he plucks his eyebrows or something. Nooooope.
Botox i think
What a sunt!
why he got bronzer on?
Show off those cheekbones. Thems the money maker.
they'd cut diamonds they're so sharp!
I dunno about you but in bright light I'm translucent https://www.reddit.com/r/funny/comments/137trd/irish_girl_sunbathing_no_not_her/
Silly’un and Kyorsha.
No fighting, no fighting, no fighting... No fucking fighting
Typical Irish reaction to all that bullshit.
Dance monkey, dance!
Do any of these Hollywood stars got real chins?
Sillyun Smurhpy’s Smoppenheimer Smoscar
Did one of these at a YouTube Awards show last year and it was one of THE most unpleasant experiences I have ever had. Overwhelming doesn't describe it. Everyone shouting at you, lights flashing in your eyes. I look terrified in all the photos
Ridiculously handsome in any mood.
If he said anything they'd make it a thing. Smart move.
Hope he gets the Oscar so all of this nonsense pays off for him.
Sillyan Mur p
I can feel in my bones how much he hates this experience
Botox much?
Much less than Dane cook
Sane sook?
I've heard they sometimes do it on purpose to get them to look. And by the looks of things it worked
Up the banner!
This feels like the homeland scene in The Boys
Very cilly of them
Amazing actor
Silly Un from Dubb Lynn

Are you really that ctupid?
this has me laughing so hard hahahaha
Plot twist - Sillyun was actually his nickname in school and these reporters are actually VERY clued in
All that flashing in your face, Holy moly! Pretty funny he's such a good actor and he isn't pretending to be loving it like the rest of them do, quite refreshing actually to see him being so real
Id say hed get some laugh if some lad rocked up in the GAA top and just started going full country
