If they gave an Oscar for lack of ego and professional generosity, Matt Damon would surely win it...

Cillian a genius

Cillian is one of Ireland's greatest actors of recent times, we Irish are very proud of him and the tribute by another great actor, Matt Damon, means a lot.

For Matt Damon to give a compliment like this shows how good Cillian really is... Well deserved.

Matt Damon is such an intelligent, talented, humble actor. Adore him and his work!

soooo good to see Cillian in a role as big as this..... very well deserved!!!!

I like this interviewer. He's grounded and not trying to steal the attention. Good work.

Cillian is simply phenomenal in everything he does and deserves recognition now 👏👏👏 if he doesn't win an Oscar something is drastically wrong

Cillians eyes are his best tool the man can scare the hell out of you or rip your heart out just with his eyes I watch EVERY episode of Peaky Blinders and when he is on scene you read the moment in his eyes

I like this interviewer. I liked the questions he asked. It was interesting and not the same boring generic questions, and you could tell he was really listening, not just waiting to get to the next question.

I was surprised at how quickly the three, intense, hours went. Oscar worthy performances all around all around. I definitely will go see it again.

I hope Oppenheimer, win all the Oscar awards, especially Cillian for the best actor

Matt Damon is one of my favourite actors he was in Ireland through covid and presented himself one of the guys his uptake on our mr Murphy is no more than I thought of this likable American man

I wasn't expecting my theater to applaud once the credits started, but they did. ❤

Cillian must get an Oscar for this monster of a film

This is one of those movies that will be studied by newer generations because it really shows what elements a good movie is truly made of. I really hope they win some top shelf awards. They deserve it.

Saw it yesterday. Very impressive Cillian looks like him. He got the eyes good too. The mannerisms. Excellent -

We love our Cillian so very much. We are very proud of him. Ireland has a great record of wonderful talented actors for a small country. 🇮🇪🙏☘️❤️🇮🇪

Great interview

Love Matt and Cillian !!!! both are amazing actors!!

Watching recent seasons of Peaky Blinders, perhaps that program has given Cillian more as the series and seasons have gone on, it became apparent the extent to which this man can absolutely command the screen and a scene. He's a gifted actor. Looking forward to this.

"I started as a private and now i'm a general." 😁

I love hearing other actors talk about cillian 💛

Matt Damon comes across as a sound skin. Fair play to him.

if you havent watched Peaky Blinders, get your butt over there and start the binge. its so so so good.

Leaving aside many, way too many comments (staying away from the "comment" section is basic common sense, yet here I am contributing), Cillian Murphy is great as the title character, so is Robert Downey Jr in a supporting role. Both went the "method acting" way to some extent. Both delivered. Matt Damon was quite good also.

Saw it today….Very good movie….Robert Downey Jr absolutely smashed it too.

He’s the number 1 actor in the world right now for me

I love Damon.

Robert Downey Jr was great in this.

My favourite actor ATM by far

Saw the movie last night ..Awsome

I'm not Irish and I think Cillian was amazing in this!

"Filum" is the gem here.

Matt is always such good sports

Damon made a great General Groves himself! My congratulations to his performance. Loved Matt as well. Great role.

Love your work Matt too :)

Matt Damon is an absolutely brilliant actor and writer is a total genius in his own way. Really cool to see him so successful and great at his craft.

Calling Murphy: Best Actor Oscar, Robert Downey Jr: Best Supporting Actor Oscar

first saw him in 28 days later what a performance

Pure class

Thomas Shelby thoroughly deserves an Oscar nod for his portrayal of Oppenheimer.

Never seen a bad performancr. Superb in WindvThat Shakes The Barley

an epic movie

I’m off to see it on imax this coming Tuesday evening . Worth the late finish I think .

His thin to begin with, but in this movie he's looking extra thin, like something is eating him up from the inside. Oppenheimer had that same look, it happens a lot to people who are internally conflicted..

What amazes me about a role like that, one that is in every scene, is how an actor can maintain his consistency throughout. Felt the same about Daniel Day-Lewis in Lincoln. BTW - whose shirt is Matt Damon wearing?

In reference to Matt's comment, "I started out as a private and now I'm a general.", Cillian has gone from being a potential victim of a major virus that could affect all mankind ("28 Days Later") to being complicit in a project (Manhattan Project) that could potentially make victims of all mankind (“Oppenheimer”)….

Never actually watched Cillians peeky blinders so didn't watch much of his works but over time grew to admire him and his talents Only thing i knew of the guy was the part he played in Quiet place 2 Still, looking forward to see Oppenhiemer

i agree with Matt Damon that he could be happy he is playing in this movie -)

Needs the mic checked but great interview

Matt Dammmmmmon!

I worked on a film with Cillian in 2009 called "Peacock." If you aren't familiar with it, do rent it. His performance is staggering!

Cillian Murphy is phenomenal and Matt Damon is literally just Matt Damon in a General costume.

This movie is like an amazing coke rush!!!

WHERE ARE ALL THE SETS FROM CHRISTOPHER NOLAN'S FILMS? This would be the coolest attraction in the world! Imagine: riding on the Endurance spacecraft or the Interstellar planes, visiting Cooper's house, hanging in the Tesseract like the main character, driving the Batmobile and having a drink in its cave, walking through the spinning room in Inception, strolling through the town of Oppenheimer. Just imagine. Where is all of this?

Actors are so deep 😅

Amazing film

Imagine telling an actor "You're job is to deliver one liners in this epic."

Daemon 🎉❤

He will win 2023 Oscar. I

Has Cillian ever performed at the Abbey Theater? I love the history of that historical playhouse.

I can't wait to see this Christopher Knowles movie.

Jesus Christ... that's Jason Bourne!

Great job, Matt. One of the 'least comfortable' great movies I've ever viewed. Probably bears noting this movie's intent was clearly the antithesis of 'comfortable' - as it should be. Any meditation on the immolation of tens of thousands of men, women and children is, at best, difficult. And the fact that the use of these monstrosities likely saved thousands of US soldier's lives (by obviating the need for a full-scale invasion of the Japanese homeland) feels a bit like the most extreme form of damning with faint praise. For sure, I'm grateful many American lives were saved - no question. Simultaneously the image (not part of this movie, thankfully) of Japanese children, who survived the immediate detonations, trying to slake their intense thirst caused by the intense heat and radiation of the blasts by opening their mouths to the highly radioactive particulate-caused rain drops that fell, virtually guaranteeing their deaths by radioactivity poisoning, is painful to the mind and soul of any even marginally thoughtful person. And the tired refrain of "Yeah, but the Japanese started it" misses the point entirely. I keep wondering when the grownups will come back... Oh, and yes, Cillian Murphy's (along with the rest of the cast's) performance was just short of staggering. "Bravice", Mr. Nolan.

He’s an actor. Can an actor be phenomenal? I’m really asking.

mAtT DaMoN

Yes saying private Ryan. Omagh beach was filmed in Welford

why would he not promote it, he is an actor.

Matt is really embracing the "dad bod" look

Hollywood will fawn and slobber all over the JRO story since he was a “fellow traveler”

In the wake of the UFO crash that followed the Trinity test, I believe, that General Leslie "Dick" Groves was tasked with the back engineering of Alien technology. With, Roswell 1947, this became urgent and he left the US Army, and went to work for the Sperry Rand corporation, in 1948.

Nice guy

I just realized who will play the G Man from Half-life if they ever make it into a movie

sound is off

RDJ did the best acting job in this film.

Guys the audio is terrible, what happened?

👍 Pvt to Gen

So strange now to see Damon as the middle aged man he is...

what is wrong with the sound? edit: and what is wrong with the camera switching? Is this like a big star interviewed on a beginners level channel?

Matt took a pay cut to do the film. Only got $4 million. Let's have a whip round

Wow is that Matt? He sure looks different these days.

Great movie, wish they chilled it with the score /music , like i just wanted to let the dialog really sink in, the music was a bit distracting but I assume it had to be some studio decision because maybe they thought people would find those scenes boring? Wasnt needed.

They are pushing for oscars on every forum

Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should.

another add

I find it sycophantic and weird that they spend all their time marveling at Cillian Murphey and not oppenheimer himself.

Did anyone hear Cillian’s clear Cork accent throughout the whole movie though? I mean the acting was great but then it got me confused in the middle of the movie bc at one point I genuinely thought Oppenheimer might be an Irish person and Cillian was portraying that 😅

I wonder if he knows he can ask questions that aren’t related to Ireland. I’m Irish and live in Dublin, but it’s embarrassing to see that when an Irish media company get time with a world class actor, the best they can come up with is a load of questions about Ireland. It makes us look like a small hick inward looking village

!!

Personally, don’t think too highly of Matt Damon. I don’t think politics belong in Hollywood. Now, I do agree with him about Cillian Murphy. There just seems to be an authentic and freeing vibe that he gives off.

audio is horrible on this video

James Woods was an exec producer? You've got to be kidding me. I won't support any Trumpers in Hollywood. What were Nolan and Damon thinking?

Í

In this film, does Cillian Murphy's accent wander around the world as egregiously as it does in everything else he does?

using nukes was one of the worst actions aimed against humanity

Unfortunately, Cillian is the wrong gender and colour for the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences

Thoroughly engrossing film, wouldn’t say enjoyable, because of the uncomfortable truth.

It was good. Could have been better. But it was good.
