OSCARS
The private life of Oscar nominee Cillian Murphy from ‘Oppenheimer’
Irish actor Cillian Murphy is one of cinema’s brightest stars, yet he remains guarded about his personal life. He is married with two children.
Reluctant star—these two words aptly encapsulate Cillian Murphy, who is up for another Oscar nomination under the direction of Christopher Nolan, portraying the father of the atomic bomb in the acclaimed ‘Oppenheimer’.
Murphy, whose career spans nearly three decades, has never sought fame and avoids crowds. For him, a good pair of dark sunglasses are the best tool for attempting to live a life akin to any ordinary person.

Family Life
Murphy’s love for music also played a role in his personal life. Among the few details known about his private life is that he has been married for nearly two decades to his teenage sweetheart, whom he met at a concert. She is Yvonne Guinness, an artist specializing in video installations.
But that’s about all that’s known. As Murphy often concludes when asked about his private life: “Yvonne doesn’t talk about me, and I don’t talk about her.”
Together, they have two children, and Murphy deflects questions about any collaborative projects with his spouse by saying, “We have two children. I think that’s enough collaboration for now.”
