Season five starts tonight!
From where he's from to where he's going next… August 21, 2019 - 17:35 BST Diane Shipley If you're a fan of BBC One period crime drama Peaky Blinders, you'll no doubt be excited for the first episode of season five, which airs at 9 PM on Sunday, and when we'll finally get the chance to catch up with Thomas Shelby and his Birmingham gang.
Where is Cillian Murphy from? He was born in County Cork, Ireland on 25 May 1976, making him 43 years old. He enjoyed music from a young age and became interested in drama at secondary school. He and his younger brother Páidi formed a band called The Sons of Mr Greengenes and were offered a record deal but decided not to pursue it.
Was his character a real person? While Thomas Shelby wasn't real, his cohort is loosely based on a gang that was active from the 1890s until the first part of the 20th century. What else has Cillian Murphy starred in? A lot of things! Mostly movies. You might have spotted him early in his career in 28 Days Later, Cold Mountain, or in thriller Red Eye opposite Rachel McAdams in 2005. That same year, he was nominated for a Golden Globe award for Best Actor in a Musical or Comedy for his role in Breakfast on Pluto, which also starred Liam Neeson.
