Cillian Murphy: “I earn too much money”
The 47-year-old actor is incredibly humble when it comes to his success - and his salary - and long ago confessed to The Guardian that he thinks he’s paid too much for his craft.
His nine years as the protagonist in Peaky Blinders certainly helped swell his bank account. However, wealth does not make him comfortable. In an interview with The Guardian, Cillian Murphy said:
I’m really lucky. I feel embarrassed by it sometimes. I’m just an actor. There are doctors nurses and people that work. I struggle with that. I mean, actors are overpaid, you know?
Murphy then added:
It’s nice when you get paid, when you’re young, and you’ve gone from having no money, but the Catholic guilt kicks in immediately, and I’m like, ’It’s all going to go wrong. You don’t deserve this’. And I don’t.
Cillian lives in Ireland with his wife and their two teenage children. Despite his immense fame, he prefers to stay out of the spotlight and would not appear on talk shows and interviews if it were not necessary to promote the films in which he participates.
