I know Cillian Murphy has some (many?) fan-girls around here, so this is for you. I actually understand – on an intellectual level – why Cillian is hot. I mean, he has one of my favorite combinations for a man ever – dark hair, light eyes and an accent. Give me that combination in any dude, and I’m pretty much going to be all over it. But Cillian just doesn’t do it for me on any given day. What you see as “The Sex,” I see as “Kinda Creepy”. Not that “creepy” is a dealbreaker for me either. I get hot for lots of creepy dudes too. So… I just can’t explain why I’m not really all up on Cillian. It’s a mystery.
That being said, he does look really good here – he covers the new issue of something called Port Magazine, photographed by Platon. You can see his featurette here, but they put it on YouTube too, thankfully. Here’s Cillian reading John Lennon’s “God”. I’ll admit it – this almost did it for me. But dear God, he is CREEPY.
So, would you hit it? Would you hit it only if he sat with you, reciting John Lennon poetry?

He creeps me out. However, the poetry thing might make him less so. Or more so, really.
Good actor, fascinating looks. This man has has talent and a presence. He’s compelling, not creepy. He’s someone interesting and he’s put himself out there. I haven’t been disappointed yet.
I completely agree, he has such presence. The first film of his I watched was Sunshine, which he was utterly amazing in.
I wasn’t bored for a moment and I have the attention span of a five year old.
no, absolutely not, he creeps me out. No idea why other than I get the whole “leader of a cult, join me” vibe from him..
I’d join that cult — if its “gospel” was all about sex (dirty, naughty, shameless sex).
+1 times a gazillion
Amen!!
Id hit it til he stares at me and i freak out and it got to feel weird, yes i would
@ QQ:
Totally pictured you* running away, screaming, barely naked while holding (the rest of) your clothes and shoes right AFTER you had sex with him.
*Pictured myself doing that too.
@Eve one would back away slowly never breaking gaze, gathering one’s clothes, yes?
Exactly. Then running for your life.
Preach! I’d let him stab me – with his penis. TMI? 😀
He can be my Malachi any day!
This guy looks like a creepy, ugly doll. How on earth can someone find him attractive is seriously beyond me. Sorry but I would only hit it with a baseball bat.
Lol. Agree that the creep factor outweighs the hot. Plus he reminds me of Jonathan Rhys Meyers…who I used to think was hot but now think is creepy.
I thought I was the only one! He is so creepy looking. Like a serial killer. Shudders. Good actor though.
Try to do anything like that, sister, and I would unleash my karate skills on you 🙂 I’m a very sweet girl, but don’t you dare touch sweet Cillian
Actually he’s creepy only when he wants to be creepy. He’s a magnificent actor and he can make you laugh and cry in the same scene. I was very lucky to see him on stage this year and to meet him briefly. He’s a strikingly handsome young man with a beautiful voice and sparkling, intelligent eyes. He was very kind to us, even though he was really tired (it was a demanding play, a one man show). He’s short only if you live in a counry where men are 6′ average. I live in Italy, he’s taller than a lot of people here including my husband. I’m always a bit puzzled when people only saw 2 of his movies and they think he only plays baddies. No, sweetheart, you only saw 2 movies in a total of over 30…I’ve been a fan of his work for a decade and he’s one of the best actors under 50 I’ve ever seen, and the best actor ever with his voice, he can sound very different, he can even sound very American. Sorry about the rant, but I think he deserves better…and, yes, I would hit him. Any day 🙂

He is good looking but his eyes are creepy but beautiful at the same time.
he’s more attractive in motion than in pictures. he looked awesome in inception and batman begins.
So, would you hit it?
YES!!! A million time yes!
Would you hit it only if he sat with you, reciting John Lennon poetry?
Can I sit on *HIS* lap while he recites Lennon poetry?
It’s not called ‘sitting’ if there’s movement, Eve. 😉
LOL!
LOL 🙂
Haha.
OMG!! Thanks for covering him!
I’ve had Cillian-itis since 2002! LOL 😉
I know he’s got that creepy ventriloquist doll look – but he’s a fantastic actor!
He’s the Irish Peter Sargaard. No, they don’t look alike, just the same deliciously creepy vibe. They’re both fine lads.
this. i cant explain but both of those men always give me that creepy sexy vibe too.
Quite lovely, but more importantly – insanely talented. Love him.
I don’t know why but he’s attractive no denying it. I have had a crush since he was the scarecrow… But again I have a huge crush on jimmi Simpson too, same look I guess !!! Anyone else love jimmi Simpson ???
I think it all depends on the photo. I never found him attractive until I watched The wind that shakes the barley. Certain pics of him I’ve seen since, I found him to be way attractive. His eyes are so blue, they make me uncomfortable. But in a weirdly good way. Other pics jut don’t do his face justice. He looks very babyish and innocent, but on the Port cover, he looks more manly. I like it.
They’re that icy color that blends in with the white of the eyes. Almost other wordly.
The first movie I saw him in was Red Eye Flight with Rachel McAdams. He of course played the bad guy. I went home to my college apartment and stayed on the phone with my friend while I made sure no one was hiding in the house. He’s so handsome, but in a scary, I will cut you with a knife kind of way.
He’s creepy hot. But these pictures are not doing it for me.
I’d hit it six ways from Sunday, and then some. I’ve had such a crush on him since 28 Days Later. I generally don’t go for shorter men, but damn.
I think he really plays up the creepy thing. It’s his thing.
I love that he speaks Gaelic and he’s apparently really short?!
Cillian is just so hot ! Those EYES are everything ! He’s Perfect , nice and really smart and beautiful . Perfect !! Love him the most . 😉
Wow I love this man. Those eyes. Irish men for the win 🙂
There is something about him. Yes, I’d hit it.
Yes, yes, and yes.
I love him and I like that he isn’t all over the place like the Dong and the Batch.
*looks around* Not too many people in here…
Hello?…..
Anybody here?
HELLO!?!?!
I can have him all to myself then (YES!!!) *daydreams*
I can have him all to myself then (YES!!!)
Look above. Now get in line.
Oh crap. I spoke too soon.
Oh well, he is one man I’m willing to share.
I met him once when I lived in Ireland and he came to promote The Wind That Shakes The Barley at Mahon Point. He’s grown kind of crazy as the years have passed though.
“He’s grown kind of crazy as the years have passed though.”
What do you mean by this? Explain yourself and in great detail!
I heard Chris Nolan was obsessed with his eyes. I love Cillian(always have) and the poetry reading is def a bonus.
He is so creepy. Gives me shivers for all the wrong reasons.
I would have hit it a few years ago cause I love that face… but then I met him in person and the dude is so tiny. Not talking about height (although he is short, like 5’8ish), just that he’s all around small and frail. Like a fragile teenager.
Saw him on the street in London once, with his kids. Not so much creepy as short and untidy. No way.
I hate poetry. I don’t hate Cillian, but the poetry makes me like him less.
Can see why some ladies may find him attractive. His lips are a turn-on but not enough to be hittable. Think he was my favorite in the TDKR. Seeing his as the judge was the highlight of the movie for me. He’s a great actor. Not all actors need to be ‘hit’ worthy to be relevant.
I would hit it so hard.
I love him as Scarecrow! He’s such a sassy bitch in batman begins 😀
He’s beautiful. Such a talent, gorgeous face & accent!
Jackson Browne called… he wants his look back.
Don’t understand why so many of you find him creepy. Nothing about him is creepy, imo. He’s strikingly handsome in a very other worldly ethereal sense.
Hell yes I would!
He has such an interesting/beautiful face
A completely gorgeous man and actor. Misterman was the best thing I’ve seen on stage ever, he’s one of the best actors around. His Disco Pigs monologue was the most erotic thing I’ve seen on stage or screen. Seems devoted to his family which I love (and is going to stay in UK/Europe for the next bit of his career to be near them) and his face and his body are such a turn on. Unusual and startling but not remotely creepy. If you watch ‘Watching the Detectives’, ‘On the Edge’, ‘The Edge of Love’ or ‘Breakfast on Pluto’ you fall in love. Also doesn’t do the endless celebrity bitchfest and self promotion as we’ve had with others. But why does he miss ‘Kennedy’ out of the John Lennon poem? Because he had irish origins? I hope not.
He is my vote for Christian Grey, in a “Fifty Shades of Grey” movie. I think he could do it. IMO
