The truth is, 2024 Academy Award Finest Actor winner Cillian Murphy stated he misplaced “fairly a little bit of weight” as a way to play the titular theoretical physicist in Oppenheimer.
“Oppenheimer had a really distinct physicality and silhouette, which I needed to get proper,” he defined in a 2023 interview with the New York Occasions. “He was very slim, nearly emaciated, existed on martinis and cigarettes.”
A lot so, costar Emily Blunt joked that Murphy resorted to consuming “an almond on a regular basis” as a way to slim down.

Nonetheless, it was a feat she’ll seemingly not repeat as a consequence of her metabolism.
“I’ll by no means, ever do a film once more and say, ‘Yeah, I’ll acquire 40 kilos,'” she advised Attract in 2023. “I’ll by no means do it once more as a result of you’ll be able to’t take it off.”
