Cillian Murphy Calls Press Tours a ‘Broken Model’ Because ‘Everybody Is So Bored,’ Says ‘Red Eye’ Is a Fine B-Movie but ‘I Don’t Think It’s a Good Movie’
Cillian Murphy does not like going on press tours and finds it "unnecessary" when reporters ask him personal questions.
In a new GQ cover story, the actor admits that press tours (complete with red-carpet interviews and junkets) are not a great model and he’d much prefer to let the movies do the heavy promotional lifting. One movie he did see in his career that he didn’t particularly love was “Red Eye,” Wes Craven’s 2005 psychological thriller about a hotel manager (Rachel McAdams) who ends up sitting next to a terrorist on a plane and becomes entangled in his assassination plot. “We’d listen to music and gab away while doing the crossword puzzle, which he brought every day and would graciously let me chime in on.… I think the number one question I got about Cillian way back then was whether or not he wore contact lenses.”
