Robert Downey Jr Almost Caught Cillian Murphy On Camera. Then Tommy Shelby Happened

Robert Downey Jr has shared glimpses of Oppenheimer's premiere

You are likely to be in the minority if you have not heard of Christopher Nolan's latest cinematic offering Oppenheimer. The biographical thriller boasts of a star-studded cast including Cillian Murphy in the titular character alongside big names such as Emily Blunt, Matt Damon, Robert Downey Jr, Florence Pugh, Rami Malek, Kenneth Branagh,  Josh Hartnett, and Casey Affleck, among others. Needless to say, the film has captured the imagination of cinema fans globally. Lucky for us, everyone's favourite Robert Downey Jr has offered us some choicest glimpses into the premiere of the film in France as well as a cast get-together in New York. If spotting some of the biggest Hollywood stars in one video was not enough, fans were thrilled to see the usually reclusive Cillian Murphy caught on camera by Robert Downey Jr, albeit for a few seconds.

In the video, we get to see Cillian Murphy for a split second before he covers Robert Downey Jr's camera with his hand, without even turning to look at it. Fans of the actor lost no time to mention this in the comments section, with most of them referring to Cillian Murphy as Thomas Shelby, the iconic character from the British period drama Peaky Blinders.  Reacting to the video, one fan wrote, “Even the genius Tony Stark couldn't record Cillian for more than 3 seconds on his cell phone.” Another commented, “Absolutely living for the elusive Cillian content.” “Bro turned on Thomas Shelby mode,” said another fan.

In addition to the cast of the film, actor John Krasinski – married to Emily Blunt – also appears in the video. He is seen poking his head between Robert Downey Jr and Emily Blunt who are engaged in conversation. He then has his head pushed down by his wife, reminiscent of scenes from his show The Office where he plays Jim Halpert.
