Cillian Murphy is nothing like i expected in real life.

Almost done with peaky blinders and i must say Cillian Murphy’s portrayal of Thomas Shelby was amazing. I went from not even knowing who he was to being a huge fan instantly when i watched some interviews. He is so calm and soft spoken it made me appreciate...
