Acclaimed actor Cillian Murphy has sent shockwaves through Hollywood with his striking new appearance for the upcoming Netflix film Steve. Known for his chameleon-like ability to transform for roles, Murphy has once again left fans in awe with his latest look.
A Dramatic Transformation
The Irish star, best known for his role as Tommy Shelby in Peaky Blinders, has adopted a gaunt, almost unrecognisable visage for his portrayal of a troubled teacher in the new drama. Sporting unkempt hair, a scruffy beard, and intense eyes, Murphy appears completely immersed in the character.
