Cillian Murphy Reveals Why Matt Damon Called Him the ‘Worst Dinner Companion Imaginable’

Cillian Murphy revealed why Oppenheimer costar Matt Damon called him the 'worst dinner companion,' explaining why he wasn't good company while making the film.

Cillian Murphy has revealed the reasons he believes his Oppenheimer costar Matt Damon dubbed him the “worst dinner companion imaginable.” The Irish actor, 49, chalked it up to him trying to remain in character as the father of the atomic bomb while the pair were making the movie, even when cameras weren’t rolling. 60 Minutes ‘ Scott Pelley told Cillian in a segment that aired on Sunday, February 18, about Matt’s dinner companion diss, adding, “What he meant by that was when you’re working on a film — when you’re being the character — there’s very little room in your head for anything else.”
