When Cillian Murphy survived on just 'an almond per day' for Oppenheimer. Actor's extreme diet stuns fans
Cillian Murphy immersed himself in prep for his role in Christopher Nolan 's flick, Oppenheimer, a great box office hit. Murphy, known for his role in Peaky Blinders, underwent a drastic transformation to portray J Robert Oppenheimer in blockbuster film directed by Christopher Nolan. Despite having a youthful and slim look, the 49-year-old actor went to great lengths for a massive change for this smash film by shedding quite a lot of weight. Murphy immersed himself to embody the "emaciated" physicist who developed the first atomic bomb as part of the secret Manhattan Project. Cillian Murphy ate 'a almond per day' for Oppenheimer? To prepare for the role, Cillian Murphy lost a significant amount of weight, resorting to extreme measures such as eating "an almond a day" to resemble the renowned scientist, according to The Irish Star. Murphy revealed that it took him over five months to get into character, admitting that he intentionally lost weight to give Oppenheimer a "wide-eyed look" indicative of his constant state of hunger. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Top 15 Most Beautiful Women in the World ALSO READ: Trump-Putin Alaska meeting: Hotels, cabs booked out ahead of 'high-stakes' summit. Are there curbs on flights? "I love acting with my body, and Oppenheimer had a very distinct physicality and silhouette, which I wanted to get right," he shared in a recent interview, reports the Mirror. He further explained that he had to lose a considerable amount of weight and worked closely with the costume department to achieve Oppenheimer's slim, almost emaciated appearance, sustained on martinis and cigarettes. Live Events Murphy also worked with professionals to perfect Oppenheimer's "silhouette and expressions" before filming commenced. In an interview with the New York Times, he admitted to testing his limits on how little he could eat but cautioned against following such an extreme diet. The actor didn't disclose the exact amount of weight he shed for the film, but mentioned that the demanding schedule made him less concerned about his diet. Instead, he was "running on crazy energy".

He said, "his is apocryphal. I think Emily (Blunt) was being very sympathetic to me when she said Cillian only ate one almond a day. It was more than that. I didn't really have room in my brain to be socialising with the rest of the cast and crew at the time, because there was so much work to do, and I was reducing calories and all that stuff. I didn't go out for dinner, but I had more than one almond a day.' What Emily Brunt said on Cillian Murphy's rigorous diet? Emily Blunt, his co-star in the movie, also commented on Cillian's drastic transformation and shared details about his rigorous diet. The 40-year-old actress, who portrayed Cillian's wife in Oppenheimer, described his weight loss journey as a "monumental undertaking."

Oppenheimer led the 2024 Oscar nominations with 13 nods — including a best actor nomination for Murphy, the first one in his lengthy career.

'Ultimate flex': 'Self-awarded medal' by Pakistan army chief stuns people; netizens troll Asim Munir
In a move that has drawn widespread ridicule, Pakistan army chief gen Asim Munir reportedly awarded himself the Hilal-e-Jurat, the country's second-highest military honour, following the Pakistan army's crushing defeat during Operation Sindoor . The awards were part of Pakistan's Independence Day honours on Thursday, conferred by President Asif Ali Zardari and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif. Dozens of military and civilian officials received accolades for their roles in the four-day conflict with India. Among others, air chief Zaheer Ahmad Babar Sidhu also received the Hilal-e-Jurat, naval chief Admiral Naveed Ashraf the Nishan-e-Imtiaz, and several fighter pilots the Sitara-e-Jurat. Civilian leaders, including Deputy PM Ishaq Dar, defence minister Khawaja Asif, and former foreign minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, were also honoured. Munir's self-award sparks social media frenzy The revelation of Munir's self-conferred medal has triggered a torrent of memes, jokes, and criticism online. Social media users questioned the Army Chief's credibility, mocked the military's performance, and unleashed sharp humor. One of the user said, 'Wow, Asim Munir's self-awarded Hilal-e-Jurat is the ultimate flex! Who needs validation from others when you can just give it to yourself?' 'Not sure what's more impressive, the fact he awarded himself or that he found a mirror in the midst of a losing battle,' another user quipped. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Villas For Sale in Dubai Might Surprise You Villas In Dubai | Search Ads Get Rates Undo While another internet user said, 'Asim Munir's Hilal-e-Jurat is like a participation trophy for showing up to the war and losing spectacularly!'
