Cillian Murphy had a strict diet for his role in “Oppenheimer”

Oppenheimer has premiered and the world will now be able to see the new work of the iconic film director Christopher Nolan, where we will see the story of the creator of the atomic bomb. Due to the demands of the film, it is known that the actors had special methodologies to prepare, including its protagonist. Cillian Murphy had a strict diet for his role in “Oppenheimer”.

This Irish actor is well known for his professionalism when playing the characters assigned to him in different series or movies, as he did in the Peaky Blinders, leaving us a very admirable performance. Now, with the new role as Oppenheimer he shows another acting phase worthy of admiration.

Around the world, actors do everything they can to do a good job, even if it means pushing their bodies to the extreme and in some cases, risking their health. One of Oppenheimer’s leading ladies, Emily Blunt, confessed during an interview that she was surprised by the diet Cillian Murphy went on to play the role of J. Robert Oppenheimer, detailing that the 47-year-old actor only consumed one almond a day in order to lose weight and bring his body to the perfect build for the character he plays.

It should be noted that these strict diets are not good for the body, but they are usually carried out with close supervision and medical advice. Likewise, Cillian Murphy has admitted that going through this was very extreme and he does not recommend it to anyone.
