Okay. I have decided I am in love with this man. (Actually I’ve been in love with him since seeing The Way We Live Now in 2001.) And that he is going to be the model for my next hero. And that I’m going to go see him in Red Eye tomorrow.
Life is sweet!
Biddy says:
Oooooo nice! I have to say I want to see ‘Red Eye’ as well.
Danica says:
Um, who is he? And how come, yet again, you know all the good stuff, and I’m still clueless?
Anonymous says:
HOLY HOTTIE!
Bronwyn Jameson - Author says:
Still weighing up whether to see Red Eye. Sometimes I like the holy hottie not to be the bad guy.
Josie A. Okuly says:
I loved him in that zombie movie 28 Days Later. I’ve seen it a bunch of times and now I want to see him in Red Eye!
Julie says:
Danica, his name’s Cillian Murphy, he’s Irish, and though I first saw him in a TV adaptation of Trollope’s The Way We Live Now (which also featured Matthew MacFayden, who’s the new Mr Darcy), he’s also been in 28 Days Later (as a guy who comes out of a coma to be besieged by zombies), Girl With A Pearl Earring (Scarlet Johannson’s would-be boyfriend), and Batman Begins (evil psychiatrist).
Why do I know all the good stuff? Because I am very slightly obsessive, perchance? ggg
Julie says:
Bronwyn, I like holy hottie bad guys. Then again, I think you are a nicer person than I am.
Welcome to my blog, Josie.
*waves at Biddy and excited anonymous person*
Anna Lucia says:
I don’t believe it. The moment has finally come.
The moment when I ‘don’t get’ one of Julie’s hotties.
I actually went, “eeww!”
*sob* Something’s wrong with meeeeeee!!!
Michelle Styles says:
I don’t get him either. But then maybe when you see him in action rather than just as a still, there is something je ne sais quoi. But I don’t see it.
Kate Hardy says:
Julie, he doesn’t even look old enough to shave! (Or am I getting middle-aged - don’t answer that. I am Grumpy Old Woman today. And I am not, not, NOT going to agree to anything in the health and safety meeting tomorrow.) (I want to work on my book.) (Splat - toys bounce out of pram)
Kathy says:
I think he’s pretty hot. But like Kate said, young. Then again, I’m just getting old. Grrr…
But I gotta say that this picture does a lot more for me than the other one.
Cute Young Boy
Sigh, that is a lovely.
I think he’s a good muse, Jul.
Julie says:
He’s 29. Which isn’t too young! Really!
Sarah L. Castleberry says:
Hey Julie - just surfing your blog (when I should be working!), since you linked it to the eHQ site.
Kind of random place for me to chime in - but once you said you blogged about hot men, I had to go in search!
And, I am SO excited to see that someone finally agrees with me about Cillian!
Even though he was this creepy freak in Batman Begins, I kept thinking - keep the camera on that guy’s eyes a little longer, would ya’?
He looks a lot like Tom Welling (WB - Smallville) - have you seen him?
And, I really don’t go for young skinny guys usually either!
Ok - long post - really bored at work!
Sarah L. Castleberry says:
Oh - and good insight on internal/external conflict (which is why I stopped in, honest).
I started my wip doing conflict intuitively, because I’ve read SO many HQ books and love them, but it is good to learn why and how to make it work for every story.
Julie says:
Hi Sarah…I never saw these comments and am probably too late to say hello, but it’s good to know there are more Cillian fans out there.
clare says:
cillian murphy. hes like no other. such a beautiful man and a really good actor! nice eye julie!
Melissa says:
I’m seventeen and I saw Cillian Murphy for the first time in Batman Begins and I immediately fell in love with this man. He is the most gorgeous man alive in my opinion. Everyone I know disagrees and I just don’t get them, he’s my obsession, he’s way too gorgeous!!!! I then saw Rd Eye wich he was even more gorgeous in!!! I loved the way his character was so cocky, Cillian made some really cute faces haha.
Julie says:
Hee hee, nice to see other Cillian Murphy fans stopping by…thanks Clare and Melissa!
Angel says:
I love that man Cillian Murphy! Ive liked him for about a year now. He is such a phenominal actor and very handsome.
