Thus far, at least: in February, Murphy will start filming Nolan’s new biopic, Oppenheimer, which might well be the biggest role of his career. Murphy is not an actor who seeks attention outside of his work - in fact, he responds to it like the jaywalking woman to Martin’s front bumper - and his quiet resistance to the showiness of show business has enabled him to lie low.

This despite having been in some of the most memorable films of the last two decades, including Danny Boyle’s zombie apocalypse classic 28 Days Later and Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy turning in multiple acclaimed and gut-wrenching performances on stage and starring in one of the most fanatically adored British TV shows of the current era, Peaky Blinders. It may not seem like it, but it is testament to how discreetly Cillian Murphy goes about his business that he is the seventh name on Martin’s list of Irish (and one Scottish) actors.

Still no, but he’s been in films with all thr– Classic Martin.Īnd what brings me to Dublin, Martin wants to know? Well, Martin, I’m interviewing an actor. His response, described by the reporter as “trademark Irish humour”, was this: “I’m in favour of same-sex marriage because I’ve been having the same sex with the wife for the last 30 years.” It got “millions of views on YouTube”, says Martin, but apparently his wife wasn’t too happy. But I don’t need to, because Martin’s already telling me about the time in 2015 when he was asked by an Australian news channel for his views on the imminent referendum in Ireland, deciding whether to permit same-sex marriage. “Google ‘Dublin taxi-driver same-sex marriage’,” he instructs me, as we careen southwards into the city. Unlike that person, Martin is not low-key. Once the car doors are closed, Martin wastes no time in indicating to me that he, like the person I’m going to be writing about, is a little bit famous.

Martin is the taxi driver the fates assign me at Dublin Airport when I arrive in Ireland the day before the interview with the person I’m going to be writing about.
To illustrate quite how low-key the person I’m going to be writing about is, let me start by telling you about someone else.
