Secret Celebrity Gossip #154

[WickedThread]

If SC had a stroke and trouble walking, how does he go on a bike ride every morning - even more difficult considering the metal rod in his back.

My dad had a friend whose son had a stroke in his early 30s, back in the 80s/90s.
Part of his rehabilitation was cycling, and so he started doing an annual fundraiser cycling from London (I think - I have’t seen the man in years), to the West of Ireland. His walking and speech were impaired, but the muscle-groups for cycling managed well enough.
I’ll grant you the metal rod though.

Mine too!! He was fabulous

Me three. What a cast!!!
Cillian’s little Top of the Pops dance in the showband scene was absolute perfection for that era!

I moved to Kilkenny shortly after filming wrapped there. I don’t think they could’ve found a more apt place at the time to set it than Callan.

Re Cillian Murphy at the SAG awards - I think he's had a trip to Kate Moss's bleph surgeon. See how he doesn't have the eye crinkles anymore and looks a bit like he belongs in Madame Tussauds. Horrific.

 

[Beverley Macker]

It's a tough one, but in fairness you can be an excellent actor, work your way up but by the time you get to a certain level you have to play the game if you want any type of recognition and also earn the money of far less talented people in the same profession. Living a quiet life doesn't get you the recognition and payday. Once he has got it he can sit back a bit more as more opportunities will come to him without trying so hard.

Yeah, but if he hates press attention, then winning an Oscar isn’t going to help is it? I guess it might be the pay issue, but I doubt he’s exactly shopping in Farm Foods at the moment.

Oscars don't necessarily mean an increase in fame (in fact some careers have crashed after winning) but it's respect and recognition from your industry and peers. Plus being an Oscar winner means you can negotiate higher pay. So part ego and part financial.

Having to do something you hate to get further, which most of us have to do and play the game in some way in our careers

Look at Brenda Fricker. Won an Oscar for My Left Foot but is probably best known as being the pigeon lady in Home Alone 2.

I still think of Casualty

 

[Restless Native]

Or look at Olivia Coleman in bloody everything playing the same character

 

[Prince fan 1999]

I still think of Casualty

And Good morning Britain...oh wait ...that was Piers Morgan

Halle Berry's career dropped off after her win, Nicole Kidman too in terms of movies The curse or the Oscar win is a thing.

[ChastityDingle]

Give me CM any time. I think he’s just quite a reserved character rather than sneery.

I think so too.

I think he's had it overdone - looks like closing his lids would be hard work. Don't get me wrong - I'd sell a kidney to get the name of Kate Beckinsale's or Brad Pitt's surgeon.

 

[MemoryLane]

It’s really annoying that he wants it both ways, sneering in the interviews as it’s all so beneath him.
But also thirsty as duck for an Oscar. Hypocrite.

Unfortunately, this is how I see it! And I’m a huge fan of his. I think he needs to play the game with a bit more humility and realise the people interviewing him are doing their job. They have to ask what he considers stupid questions at times, they’re told what to say just like he is with a script!
