Cillian Murphy passes on the wisdom he has learned to his son Aran Murphy.
In a recent interview with E! News, along with costar Tim Roth for the promotion of their film Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Manthe 49-year-old actor shared some career advice that has stuck with him.
“I was doing a play when I was really young, and I think I was running out to go to the pub, and I just dropped my costume on the floor,” the Oscar winner recalled. An older actor then told him, “Always hang up your costume.”
Explaining the deeper meaning behind those words, Murphy explained, “And what he meant by that was not just hanging up, but like you’re just the guy jumping around there on stage.”
“There’s a whole machine here, like technicians, stage management and front of house, and you’re just the act. You’re just one cog in this whole wheel. I’ve never forgotten that,” he added.
It is pertinent to mention that Murphy shares Aran, 18, and Malachy, 20, with his wife Yvonne McGuinness.
Roth also shared his two cents for the coming generation, advising that rejection leads to a “yes.”
“No means there will be a yes,” he emphasized. “So if someone says no, it means something is coming your way out there,” Murphy, who shares two children with Yvonne McGuinness, explained.
‘Just keep going. Don’t worry, he will find you and overthrow you. But if they say no, it means you are available for whoever comes,” he added.
